Manchester City winger Joel Ndala's loan spell at Hull City has ended and he has immediately joined Sheffield Wednesday until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old made 17 appearances in the Championship for the Tigers and scored one goal.

His development will now continue with the Owls, who are 39 points adrift of safety the foot of the table and facing relegation to League One.

Hold that thought, Andrew...

*but this is not to say there won't be more news to come in the next couple of hours.

Any clubs which submitted deal sheets to the EFL before 19:00 GMT have two hours in which to complete the paperwork and seal the deal.

Don't go anywhere...

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.

Wrexham

Wrexham have signed Barnsley striker Davis Keillor-Dunn for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old has scored 13 goals in 24 League One games for the Tykes so far this season.

Keillor-Dunn rejoins the Welsh side having made six appearances for the Red Dragons in a brief spell in 2020.

"If there’s one club that’s calling, it’s Wrexham you want to go to," he told the club website.

"When I heard of the interest and spoke to the manager, there was only one place I wanted to come - and that was back here.

"The way the club is progressing at the minute, there’s no better time to come. Just to get in the building and through the door, I can’t tell you how happy I am."

EFL basement-boys Harrogate have signed Burnley keeper Sam Waller on a permanent contract.

The 22-year-old, who came through the ranks at Turf Moor but has not made a first-team appearance for the Clarets, has signed until the end of the season having spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Crewe, where he made 11 appearances.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have put first team coach Damien Johnson in temporary charge following the sacking of head coach Valerien Ismael.

The 47-year-old, who made 81 appearances for the club as a player, has been working at Ewood Park in a coaching role since April 2015.

Johnson started out as an academy coach before being promoted to first team duties in July 2019.

He previously oversaw a 3-1 win against Stoke as a caretaker manager in February 2024 after then boss Jon Dahl Tomasson had left.

Blackburn face Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship on Tuesday night (kick-off 19:45 GMT).

Stoke City have signed Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi on loan until the end of the season.

The 23-year-old has been on loan at Turkish Super Lig side Caykur Rizespor during the first half of this season, netting four goals in 11 league games.

Rak-Sakyi spent last season on loan at beaten play-off finalists Sheffield United where he made 34 Championship appearances and scored seven goals.

"The club is in a good position, and we want to strive for more," he told the club website.

"I know the potential that I have and with the right support system around me and the right club like Stoke City, I believe I can showcase what I can do and help the team."

Portsmouth are interested in a deal for Kilmarnock defender Lewis Mayo, according to BBC Scotland.

The 25-year-old centre-back has made 20 appearances for Killie in the Scottish Premiership this season.

Pompey were also interested in Dundee centre-back Luke Graham but he is thought to be staying put.

Blackburn left-back Jake Batty has joined League Two promotion-chasers Swindon on a permanent deal until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old made two first-team appearances for Rovers after coming through the ranks and enjoyed a successful loan spell with Accrington in League Two last season.

Plymouth Argyle

League One Plymouth have brought Millwall defender Wes Harding to Home Park on loan for the rest of the season.

The 29-year-old, who can play in central defence or at full-back has previously played for Birmingham and Rotherham and follows Herbie Kane in joining the Pilgrims on loan this afternoon.

Not exactly a signing, but promotion-chasing Lincoln have triggered a clause to extend the contract of 23-year-old midfielder Dom Jefferies to 2028.

Portsmouth striker Callum Lang has been heavily linked with a move to fellow Championship side Preston North End but a deal is yet to be completed.

Pompey boss John Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent: "That’s still ongoing, no update for you on that. I’ve deliberately kept away from it so I think it’s just one to see where we are at 8pm or 7pm."

When asked where Lang is, Mousinho said: "He’s here."

Rumours have circulated that Lang handed in a transfer request to try and force through the deal.

"Not as far as I’m aware, no," Mousinho said. "He hasn’t said anything to me."

And on incomings at Fratton Park, Mousinho added: "Probably two I think, so keep your ears close to the ground.

"Pretty confident at this stage [that Pompey will get who they need]. We’re in a pretty good position with where we are. In terms of the departures, that’s been a really tight one."

Coventry City

Coventry City have signed defensive midfielder Frank Onyeka from Premier League side Brentford on loan until the end of the season.

The 28-year-old Nigeria international has struggled for first-team opportunities with the Bees this season, making just six substitute appearances.

Onyeka, who has 41 international caps and played at the Africa Cup of Nations in January, will help bolster the Sky Blues' midfield as they aim to return to the top flight for the first time since 2001.

The deal also includes an obligation to buy should Coventry achieve promotion to the Premier League.

"My aim is to give 100%, bring my experience and help the team get promoted to the Premier League and bring glory to the city again," Onyeka told the club website.

"I’m very excited to get going and I’m ready to give my all for Coventry."
