Leeds United, Sunderland and Celtic feature in the 11pm update…
Sunderland finally strike Grigg deal
Sunderland snapped up one striker earlier today by taking Tottenham youngster Kazaiah Sterling on loan, and a second forward appears to be Wearside-bound. Sky Sports (22:22) report that £1.5million bid – their sixth offer – for Wigan’s Will Grigg has been accepted, and he should complete a move to the Stadium of Light soon.
Mulumbu heading back to Kilmarnock
Celtic signed midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu on a free transfer over the summer having left Kilmarnock. Now, the DR Congo ace is heading back to Rugby Park to re-join Killie, with Steve Clarke’s men announcing the move on Twitter, which will be a loan until the end of the season.
Leeds’ Daniel James bid going down to the wire
Still there is no confirmation about Daniel James leaving Swansea City for Leeds United. Eight hours ago, the Yorkshire Evening Post revealed that the 21-year-old was undergoing a medical ahead of a loan-to-buy deal. However, no deal has been announced yet, and the Daily Mail note that the move still isn’t complete, and may be in danger of collapse.
Jacob Murphy heads to West Brom
Newcastle have been focused on incomings today by landing Antonio Barreca and Miguel Almiron, but one player is leaving too. Winger Jacob Murphy has found first-team football hard to come by this season, and now heads to Championship side West Bromwich Albion on loan for the rest of the season, with the aim of helping their promotion bid.
Toljan is a Bhoy
Celtic have tied up three signings today in Andrew Gutman, Manny Perez and Maryan Shved, though all have been loaned straight out. This one is an incoming loan though, with Borussia Dortmund right back Jeremy Toljan penning a deal with the Bhoys until the end of the season.
Batshuayi latest
Michy Batshuayi has become a hot name in the final hours of the transfer window, with the Chelsea striker available to pretty much anybody who could pay up. Crystal Palace are now attempting to rush through a loan deal, with The Sun claiming that they have asked for additional time to complete the move.
Fulham sign Nordtveit
A deal for Slavia Prague ace Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui has stalled today, but Fulham do have themselves a new defender regardless of what happens to the Cameroon ace after 11pm. Hoffenheim ace Havard Nordtveit arrives, joining on loan until the end of the season. The Norwegian returns to the Premier League, having previously been with Arsenal and West Ham United.
Derby pounce for King
Derby County have left it late, but they have landed a new midfielder for Frank Lampard to work with. Leicester City midfielder Andy King has joined the Rams on loan until the end of the season, having played just 18 minutes of first-team action under Claude Puel this season.
