EFL Transfer Rumours: Stoke City, Leyton Orient, Bolton Wanderers and Barnsley<\/h2>\n

Stoke Transfer Rumours: Starlet Wanted<\/h2>\n

Stoke City hot prospect Nathan Collins is reportedly wanted by Manchester United and Werder Bremen. Alex Milne of the Mirror<\/a>\u00a0reports that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer<\/a> is keen to bring young talent to Old Trafford. However, Bremen have already made an enquiry to take the 18-year-old on loan.<\/p>\n

Collins, even though he has made just three senior appearances, is seen as one of the most promising youngsters in the Championship. Stoke are keen to keep Collins; however, with big clubs taking an interest, they may be powerless.<\/p>\n

Palace Interested in Bolton Keeper<\/h2>\n

Mark Iles of the Bolton News<\/a> has reported that Crystal Palace<\/a> are interested in goalkeeper Remi Matthews. The Eagles want extra competition for their current keepers. A fee has not been offered; however, Wanderers would profit from future appearances and transfers.<\/p>\n

Due to Bolton\u2019s off-field difficulties, Matthews has not been paid since March. The 25-year-old signed last summer from Norwich City<\/a> and made 19 league and cup appearances. Whether Bolton accept Palace\u2019s offer could depend on their ongoing takeover negotiations.<\/p>\n

Barnsley Chase Coventry Striker<\/h2>\n

New promoted Barnsley are chasing Coventry striker Conor Chaplin. According to Andy Turner of Coventry Live<\/a>, Championship side Barnsley have offered \u00a3700,000 for the 22-year-old. The Tykes lost out to Coventry last summer for Chaplin\u2019s signature. The Sky Blues paid \u00a3500,000 to Portsmouth.<\/p>\n

Chaplin made 33 appearances last season, scoring seven goals. Although the jury is still out on the forward, many believe he has what it takes to have a better second season. A quick profit could be enough to tempt Coventry and the player could find a move to a higher division hard to resist.<\/p>\n

Orient Reject Tottenham Bid for Happe<\/h2>\n

Leyton Orient<\/a> have rejected a \u00a3300,000 offer from Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> for Dan Happe. Tom Roddy of the Sun<\/a> claims that Spurs have made the first move for the sought-after defender. Leicester City<\/a>, Leeds United<\/a> and Norwich City are also interested in the 20-year-old.<\/p>\n

Happe broke into the Orient team last season. He played a big part in the club returning to the Football League. It is understood that Tottenham also offered add-ons plus the transfer fee. Orient are wanting a higher fee before letting the player leave. With several clubs interested, the fee they want could come soon.<\/p>\n
