EFL Transfer Rumours<\/h1>\n

Leeds United Set For Double Loan Swoop<\/h2>\n

According to Phil Hay of the Yorkshire Evening Post<\/a>, Leeds United are chasing two players to sign on loan. They are Wolverhampton Wanderers’<\/a> Helder Costa<\/a> and Brighton & Hove Albion’s<\/a>\u00a0Ben White<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Costa was in-and-out of the Wolves team last season in their return Premier League. He made 25 appearances in the Premier League, scoring just one goal.<\/p>\n

White is an inexperienced centre-back and is yet to make a senior appearance for Brighton. However, he has two previous loan spells in the EFL, at Newport County and Peterborough United.<\/p>\n

Asmir Begovic a Target For Forest?<\/h2>\n

Bournemouth <\/a>goalkeeper Asmir Begovic<\/a> is a target for Nottingham Forest, according to Tom Leach at the\u00a0Nottingham Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

News broke last month that the Bosnian was a possible target for Martin O’Neil and Forest. As a result of Artur Boruc<\/a> signing a new contract with Bournemouth, their interest could come to light.<\/p>\n

However, they will face a battle for his signature. Bournemouth may use Begovic as part of<\/a> a deal to sign Stoke City<\/a>\u00a0keeper Jack Butland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shrewsbury Right-Back Set For Portsmouth<\/h2>\n

According to Lewis Cox of the Shropshire Star<\/a>, Portsmouth are set to sign Shrewsbury Town right-back James Bolton<\/a> on a free transfer.<\/p>\n

Bolton joined Shrewsbury from Gateshead for an undisclosed fee in 2017. In his first season with the Shrews, they narrowly missed out on promotion to the Championship.<\/p>\n

The 24-year old will be looking to help Portsmouth seal a return to the Championship, having narrowly missed out last season.<\/p>\n
