The transfer window is propped fully open at this point, and with it come the wind-flow of rumors, links, bids, “interests”, etc.

Some of these are certainly just news outlets trying to grab a headline, while other reports are valid. We’re here to help you try to sift through all the garbage and assess the validity of all these reports, along with the likelihood that they’ll actually come to fruition.

It should be noted that this is an ever evolving list, and in the world of football transfers, anything and everything can and will happen. Rumors become reports, reports become done deals, and done deals become nothing. For these reasons, It’s important we all stay on top of every shred of evidence.

Goalkeepers:

Neil Etheridge: Aston Villa have offered Cardiff City £8million for his services, but the Welsh side have rejected said offer, choosing to old on to their POTY (for now). This sounds like a deal is going to get done, and Villa will likely move forward with Etheridge as their #1, and playoff hero Jed Steer as the #2.

Transfer Likelihood: 8.5/10
