Here we take a look at five transfers which will almost certainly be announced before the conclusion of the 2021/22 Gallagher Premiership season…
#1. George Ford (Leicester to Sale Sharks)
Sale Sharks want to sign Leicester and England fly-half George Ford, director of rugby Alex Sanderson has confirmed.
The 28-year-old is the Premiership’s leading scorer this season with 107 points, helping the Tigers win their first eight games.
He is in a second spell with Leicester, following four years at Bath, but was born not far away from Sale, in Oldham.
Sale have held preliminary talks with Ford and Sanderson said: “I thought it went well.”
