EFL Transfer Rumours<\/h1>\n

Leeds One of a Number of Clubs Chasing Swedish Striker<\/h2>\n

Leeds are one of a number of clubs interested in Swedish striker Hosam Aiesh<\/a>, according to Fiona Kyle of Leeds Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aiesh, 24, has spent his entire career in Sweden and currently plays for Osterunds. He is not the most prolific striker; so far this season he has just the one goal from eight games.<\/p>\n

However, Leeds are not the only club believed to be interested in the 24-year-old. Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough and Reading are all said to be interested, as well as clubs from the continent.<\/p>\n

Slaven to Reunite With Former West Ham Player?<\/h2>\n

According to Paul Brown of the Daily Star,<\/a> new West Bromwich Albion<\/a> manager Slaven Bilic wants to bring West Ham youngster Reece Oxford<\/a> to the Hawthorns.<\/p>\n

It was Bilic who gave Oxford his debut at West Ham when he was just 16-years-old. However, he has failed to progress at the Hammers.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old has had three loan spells in the last three years with Reading, Borussia Mochengladbach and Augsburg retrospectively.<\/p>\n

Sunderland Interest in Fellow League One Striker?<\/h2>\n

According to Scott Wilson of The Northern Echo<\/a>, Sunderland<\/a> are one of the clubs in the running for Doncaster striker John Marquis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marquis has finally settled at Doncaster following a number of short spells with multiple clubs. He was prolific last season, scoring 26 goals to help Rovers reach the League One play-offs.<\/p>\n

However, Championship clubs Millwall and Queens Park Rangers are also interested in Marquis. As a result, a tug of war could occur for his services.<\/p>\n
