Newcastle Falcons are confident of signing Mark Bennett, with the centre not wanting to move too far from his home in Scotland.

Leicester Tigers could be set to try and dump Matt Toomua and Manu Tuilagi as part of a clear out and will look to sign England centre Ben Te'o from Worcester Warriors. This would also free up salary cap to secure the signing of George Ford.

Saracens have reportedly agreed on a deal that will see them sign former Wales lock Dom Day after his contract at Super Rugby side Melbourne Rebels expires.

This move means the reigning champions are likely to end their interest in Geoff Parling, meaning the ex-England lock could be on his way to Sale Sharks.

Richard Cockerill remains a target for Edinburgh but the former Leicester man is a surprise target for Stade Francais.

Bristol's Marc Jones and Will Cliff could be set to leave the City Ground, rejoining Sale Sharks.

The European raiders could have pinched yet another All Black with Blues flanker Steven Luatua linked with a move to Bristol in England's top tier.

The 15-Test All Black has found himself on the outer with the international team after struggling with form and injuries which led to him missing the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

The move would see him join former Blues coach Pat Lam who takes over at Bristol next season after former coach Andy Robinson was sacked.
