Aston Villa's Sam Iling-Junior is poised to cut short his loan at West Bromwich Albion to move to Pisa in Serie A.

The winger has spent the first half of the season at the Baggies in the Championship.

He scored once in 24 games but is now expected to move to Pisa to help them in their relegation fight with the club second bottom of Serie A.

Iling-Junior has previously played for Juventus and Bologna in Italy.

The Baggies - 21st and three points above the Championship relegation zone - will replace him with Aston Villa team-mate Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba.

Preston were also keen to take the 19-year-old on loan but Jimoh-Aloba wants to help the Baggies' relegation fight and has opted to return to the club over North End, while Leicester also enquired.

Attacker Jimoh-Aloba came through the academy at The Hawthorns before moving to Villa in 2023.

He made his Premier League debut last month and scored Villa's winner in the 3-2 comeback victory over Red Bull Salzburg in the Europa League last week.

They announced the permanent signing of defender Zak Vyner from Bristol City last night, and today could yet be a lively one for Wrexham.

They are looking at a number of striker options, although they have missed out on Sidiki Cherif who has joined Fenerbahce from French side Angers.

Ryan Hardie is also attracting interest, with League One Bolton Wanderers keen to sign the forward, although the Scot will only be allowed to leave north Wales if Wrexham can find a replacement.

An addition at wing-back could be on the cards too after the Red Dragons allowed James McClean to return to Derry City.

Elsewhere, midfielder Elliot Lee is hoping to secure a move away from the club, most likely on loan.

Nottingham Forest have failed with an approach for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.

The Premier League side contacted the Championship promotion chasers on Sunday but it was immediately knocked back.

Boro are joint top of the Championship with Coventry as they look to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2016-17.

Hackney turned down a move to Ipswich in the summer after Middlesbrough agreed a £20m deal.

The 23-year-old was happy to bide his time at Boro, having come through the academy and made 145 appearances, and choose his next move carefully.

Football League clubs need to complete a 'deal sheet' in order to complete a transfer in the last two hours of a transfer window.

Clubs often leave their transfer dealings to the very last minute, and therefore have to submit a form to the EFL to make sure that a transfer can go ahead.

The deal sheet allows a club to confirm that an agreement has been reached and also give themselves more time to submit the remaining documentation.

The EFL and the Premier League have both set a transfer deadline for Monday, 2 February at 19:00 GMT.

The deal sheet cannot be used before 17:00 GMT and needs to be filled in before the transfer window closes.

Once the deal sheet arrives with the EFL, the clubs have an additional two hours, or until 21:00 GMT to submit all the required paperwork.

If all the necessary paperwork has still not been submitted after the deadline has passed, the transfer will not be able to proceed.

Blackburn Rovers failed to sign Orlando City's Duncan McGuire in 2024 after the club failed to submit the deal sheet into the EFL's system on time.

There is one piece of technology that is synonymous with the drama of transfer deadline day - the modest fax machine.

A staple of offices in the 1980s and 90s, the telecommunication device was used to send scanned documents over a telephone line to another machine.

Football has now moved into the 21st century and you can read how they get the paperwork done with the BBC's Ask Me Anything.

We have an outgoing in League Two. *searches for outgoing klaxon*

Crawley Town have announced that goalkeeper Harvey Davies has been recalled by his parent club Liverpool, external.

The 22-year-old has not made an appearance for the Red Devils in their past three games having being replaced between the sticks by Jacob Chapman, who they signed on loan from Huddersfield last month.

One of Hull City's new signings got off to a flier on Saturday as Lewis Koumas scored the winner in their 1-0 victory at Blackburn Rovers.

Koumas' loan signing from Liverpool was confirmed, along with that of Manchester United midfielder Toby Collyer on Friday.

The Tigers are five points short of the Championship's automatic promotion places with a game in hand.

Portsmouth

Remember when Portsmouth signed Ebou Adams from Derby last month? Here he is looking chuffed, but we're not sure they'll stick him on pens, though.

If you know, you know., external

Things are going pretty will for the midfielder since his move, scoring back-to-back goals in Pompey's past two games.

Swindon Town

Shaun Hodgetts, BBC Radio Wiltshire:

Swindon Town are set to sign winger James Scanlon on loan from Manchester United, BBC Radio Wiltshire understands.

The 19-year-old Gibraltar international is yet to make a senior appearance for the Premier League club but played in all three of their under-21 side's Vertu Trophy games this season.

Plymouth Argyle are closing in on the loan signing of Millwall defender Wes Harding, BBC Sport understands.

The 29-year-old, who can play at centre-back or full-back, offers the Pilgrims experience and versatility as they look to have a late run at the play-off places.

With Julio Pleguezuelo injured and Brendan Galloway being assessed after coming off in Saturday's loss at Stockport County the Pilgrims are in need of defensive reinforcement.

They are also aiming to bring in another midfielder with Bradley Ibrahim and Joe Ralls both out and Law McCabe's loan from Middlesbrough cut short.

"We've certainly funnelled down to two players who we are confident of bringing to the football club," head coach Tom Cleverley told BBC Radio Devon after Saturday's game.

Manchester United defender Tyler Fredricson is set to remain at Old Trafford for the remainder of the season.

Fredricson has been the subject of significant interest during the current transfer window but has picked up an injury that will prevent him making an immediate move.

League One promotion hopefuls Huddersfield and Scottish Premiership outfit Aberdeen were both really keen on the 20-year-old, who started two Premier League games at the end of last season.

Celtic have also inquired about Fredricson during the current transfer window.

The Englishman was keen on a short-term move as he has only managed two minutes' worth of action in the Premier League this season, despite being named in 10 matchday squads.

His involvement at senior level has restricted the opportunities to play for United's under-21 side, where he has started just three games.

Wrexham

Wrexham strengthened their play-off challenge with the signing of defender Zak Vyner from Bristol City yesterday.

The centre-back was left out of the Robins' matchday squad for their 5-0 loss to Derby County at Ashton Gate on Friday night.

He becomes the Welsh side's first signing of the winter window as they chase a Championship play-off spot.

"Zak's a really good Championship player, he can play across the back three and in midfield," Wrexham boss Phil Parkinson told BBC Sport Wales.

"With Conor (Coady) going to Charlton, we knew Zak's contract was up in the summer and we've been having talks with Bristol City for a while. He's a really good signing for us."

Vyner is the Red Dragons' first signing of the transfer window but surely not the last?

Oxford United

BBC Radio Oxford's Jerome Sale:

It is busy at Oxford United this morning but, with six players already signed in this window, it would be a surprise if outgoings did not outweigh incomings on deadline day.

There have been plenty of links over the weekend and boss Matt Bloomfield would like at least one more (which manager wouldn’t?) before 19:00 GMT.

Who that is may hang on who leaves.

Midfielder Willum Willumsson has left Birmingham City to join Dutch club NEC Nijmegen on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The 27-year-old Iceland international helped the Blues win the League One title and promotion back to the Championship in his only full season with the Midlands club.
