Transfer news and rumours today

MILLWALL SIGN WALLACE


Millwall have signed winger Jed Wallace from Wolves for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year contract and moves to The Den on a permanent deal, following loans spells with the London club during the past two seasons.

Wallace has made a total of 35 appearances for the Lions, scoring four goals, and was part of the squad which won promotion to the Championship via the League One play-offs last month.

"Jed is a great young man. He's had two loan spells at The Den and thoroughly enjoyed his time here - he was adamant he wanted to come back, too. His desire to come and play for Millwall has been really strong," Millwall boss Neil Harris said.

"I think everyone has seen the attributes he brings and will bring to Championship football. He's a natural wide player, has pace, energy and work ethic and also end product. That's going to be really key towards us having a successful year in The Championship."

BURTON LAND WARNOCK


Burton have signed experienced defender Stephen Warnock on a one-year deal.

The 35-year-old, a former England international who has also played for Liverpool, Blackburn, Aston Villa, Leeds and Derby, arrives at the Pirelli Stadium following his departure from Wigan, who were relegated from the Championship last season.

"Stephen is a good, experienced full-back," Burton boss Nigel Clough told the club's official website.
"We always liked him when he played for Derby and obviously at Wigan most recently. He will give us that experience that you need in the Championship.

"He will bring all the qualities and all the experience - it's ideal and we think he will complement the defenders that we've already got."


FORMER ENGLAND BOSS REASSURES ROONEY OVER CHINA


Sven-Goran Eriksson has reassured Wayne Rooney he would have a "positive experience" if he moved to the Chinese Super League.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, the former England boss said: “I hear a lot that China is not a good place to live for foreign people but that could not be further from the truth.

“I haven’t spoken to Rooney for a long time, so I don’t know what he is thinking, but if he went to China I think he would have a positive experience.”

Ivan Perisic transfer update from Inter Milan

A late Manchester United swoop for Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic is fading fast. The Croatian's boss Luciano Spalletti said the 28-year-old has not shown any new signs that he wants to leave Inter, despite United manager Jose Mourinho being linked with him all summer. “Since the start, the club spoke with Ivan, as did I, he came and told us some things, because you need specific characteristics to stay here. We must all be ready to listen to how everyone else sees things,” said Spalletti. “Perisic is a great player, in the vein of Giacinto Facchetti, Javier Zanetti and Marco Materazzi, a leader who gives something more than an individual usually does. “After this initial discussion, I never had any more signals of a departure, in training or outside of it. “Ivan is someone who has his own training schedule after the session is finished, working in the gym, and is one of the most professional players I've met. “He does something that o...

Jose Mourinho hinted a role of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Manchester United

  United's decision to re-sign Ibrahimovic until the end of the current campaign has bolstered an already enviable attack which has walloped West Ham and Swansea 4-0 this month, while £75million signing Lukaku has hit four goals in three games. The prolific Lukaku has started with Marcus Rashford, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata in attack but Anthony Martial has struck twice as a substitute and Paul Pogba already has more goals than he had in mid-October last year. Mourinho rarely plays two up front and Ibrahimovic's return could provide him with a dilemma as to whether the 35-year-old, who has made just six substitute appearances in league and Champions League matches throughout his career, plays second fiddle to Lukaku. "I see Zlatan as important for the team," Mourinho said. " I just say that my squad is better for sure, he is one more option, he is one more striker, he is one more experienced player, he is one more player tha...

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho on Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku dilemma

Lukaku, 24, has scored four goals in his first three Manchester United starts but is set to face competition from 35-year-old Ibrahimovic when the Swede returns from injury later in the season. United's decision to re-sign Ibrahimovic has bolstered Mourinho's attack but could also provide him with a dilemma as to who starts up front during the run-in, when United will hope to be challenging for the Premier League. Mourinho had already fielded over half-a-dozen questions on Ibrahimovic's return before he was asked about whether Lukaku and Ibrahimovic could form a successful axis. "No," Mourinho replied, refusing to take any more questions on Ibrahimovic. "In this moment they can speak on the phone that is all they can do, not even face-to-face because he [Ibrahimovic]’s not here." Earlier, Mourinho said: "If we progress in the Champions League and if we progress in one of the two cups, I don’t even say both, if we do ...
