Goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski continues to be linked with the exit door at Ipswich Town - but has returned to Portman Road for pre-season training, despite the club entering negotiations with Millwall over a deal.

Celtic look set to seal a six-figure deal for Bolton youngster Luca Connell, who will snub Premier League interest to join the Scottish champions.
