Welcome to HITC Sport’s round-up of post 1pm deadline day news from clubs including Celtic, Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich City and more.
For those of a Celtic persuasion, most eyes are on Moussa Dembele as the transfer window enters its final hours (the deadline passes at 12pm in Scotland, 5pm in England and at various times across Europe, FYI).
But Celtic appear to be hard at work on incoming transfers, too, with Youssouf Mulumbu arriving on a two-year deal this morning and Filip Benkovic looking set to follow, after the new Leicester City recruit was spotted training with the Bhoys (Daily Record).
With Dembele’s future increasingly uncertain, talk has turned to who could replace the striker at Celtic Park, and Sheffield Wednesday’s Gary Hooper is one name discussed.
But while Hooper – who starred for Celtic earlier in his career – has done little to dispel talk of a return to Glasgow, retweeting one fan’s plea for his transfer, a move away from Sheffield Wednesday is unlikely in the eyes of his manager.
Speaking at a press conference earlier this afternoon, Jos Luhukay said he expects no Owls players to leave before 5pm, but failed to rule out new arrivals at Hillsborough (Sheffield Wednesday, Youtube).
Elsewhere in the Championship, Norwich City have terminated the contract of Russell Martin, their former captain (Eastern Daily Press).
Martin, a centre-back (which is, incidentally, one of the positions in which Sheffield Wednesday are thought to want to strengthen), spent nine years at Norwich but ended last season on loan to Rangers – the fierce rivals of Celtic.
And finally, Kamil Grosicki, the Hull City winger, is undergoing a medical at Bursaspor, with another Martin, Chris, the Derby County striker, in talks over a loan to the KCom Stadium (Sky Sports).
