THE WORLD CUP is a distant memory at this stage meaning Premier League enthusiasts only have transfer speculation, pre-season friendlies and the odd European fixture to keep you going until the season starts in a couple of weeks. However, QPR boss Harry Redknapp, a man who knows a thing or two about buying and selling players, is here to help us with a daily round-up of the biggest and best rumours from around Europe.
Lenihan set to leave Cork: Brian Lenihan is reportedly the subject of a bidding war, with Hull understood to have made an offer for the Cork City defender, while at least one other Premier League club, in addition to sides from the Championship and one Scottish team (widely believed to be Celtic), have also made their interest known, according to the Evening Echo.
