CSKA 1948 Sofia winger Georgi Rusev has emerged on the radar of Norwich City, Ipswich Town and Watford following the opening of the new window. Football Insider claim the trio are all keen on luring him over to England.

Rusev, who is 24-years-old, is a Bulgaria international with six caps under his belt so far in his career. He has scored 18 goals in 98 games in all competitions for his current club but they could face a battle to keep hold of him now.

West Brom eye midfielder

West Brom are said to be interested in signing Marvelous Nakamba from rivals Aston Villa, according to reporter Darren Witcoop. The Baggies are being linked with a swoop for the Zimbabwe international as they look to bolster their ranks under Carlos Corberan.

The 29-year-old spent the second-half of last term on loan at Luton Town to get some game time. He then played a key role in the Hatters’ promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs.
