Sunday's Championship transfer talk news roundup: Joshua King, David Raya, Emiliano Martinez

Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in the Championship on Sunday, September 13.

Sunday morning's Championship transfer talk news roundup:

Manchester United 'handed boost in Joshua King chase'

Manchester United have reportedly been given a boost in their pursuit of Joshua King, with Bournemouth open to offers for the striker.

The Red Devils have been linked with a move for the 28-year-old in the past two transfer windows as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continues to search for a permanent new striker.

King has only one year remaining on his contract at the Vitality Stadium and would welcome a move away following Bournemouth's relegation from the Premier League last season.

The Telegraph reports that the Cherries are now willing to listen to offers for the Norway international rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next summer.

King began his career at United and is thought to favour a return to Old Trafford, but Aston Villa and Fulham are also interested.

The forward will miss Bournemouth's opening match of the new Championship season this afternoon as he has stayed in Norway to undergo treatment on an injury.

Arsenal 'open talks with Brentford goalkeeper David Raya'

Arsenal have reportedly opened talks over a possible deal to bring Brentford goalkeeper David Raya to the club.

The Gunners are in the market for a back-up shot-stopper with current number two Emiliano Martinez set to leave the Emirates Stadium in the current window amid interest from Aston Villa.

Martinez impressed when standing in for Bernd Leno last season but did not receive first-team assurances from manager Mikel Arteta and was left out of the squad for their Premier League opener against Fulham this afternoon.

Arteta is understood to want a back-up sorted before allowing Martinez to leave, though, and 90min reports that they have now begun negotiations to sign Raya.

However, the Bees are reluctant to lose the 24-year-old, with manager Thomas Frank yesterday claiming that he is not for sale.

Raya kept 16 clean sheets last season as Brentford reached the playoff final.
