EFL Championship transfers 2019-20: A club-by-club guide

Leeds United have signed Helder Costa on loan for the season with an agreement to pay £15m for the winger to join on a long-term basis in 2020 - Andrew Roe/AHPIX LTD

The Championship may be a couple of years on from the days when Wolverhampton Wanderers spent £30 million and £20m in successive seasons to build a promotion-winning team but a couple of those expensive purchases - Helder Costa and Ivan Cavaleiro - reappear as key signings for Leeds United and Fulham this summer as they prepare for the 2019-20 season.

Most clubs have attempted to clean the Augean Stables in this transfer window, releasing costly veterans and husbanding their parachute payments cautiously.

Financial Fair Play - even with the sell-your-ground workaround - seems to be at the back of every club's mind at the moment and the only ones spending substantially are also the ones who have sold a player to a Premier League club.

The season begins on Friday, August 2 and cubs have until 5pm on Thursday, August 8 to boost their ranks.

This is how they have done their business so far and you can keep up to speed with all 24 clubs' summer ins and outs, right here.
