Leicester City have signed Southampton midfielder Joe Aribo on loan until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old has been limited to only seven appearances this season, the last of which was on 9 December.

Aribo's contract with Southampton expires in the summer.

Middlesbrough

A deal that has come a little out of the blue...

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith has joined Middlesbrough on loan until the end of the season.

The 30-year-old has made seven Championship appearances for the Baggies this season, keeping one clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Sheffield United.

But Wildsmith has fallen down the pecking order behind Josh Griffiths and Max O'Leary, who recently joined from Bristol City.

Andy Moran will join Preston North End from Brighton & Hove Albion on a permanent deal before the window closes.

The 22-year-old Republic of Ireland international can play in attacking midfield or on the wing.

Moran has Championship experience with previous loan spells at Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers.

Preston lost Harrison Armstrong at the beginning of the January transfer window after he returned to parent club Everton and has not re-signed for the Lilywhites.

Championship club Stoke City are closing in on a move worth up to £3m to sign Chelsea winger Ato Ampah.

The 19-year-old has four goals and six assists in 13 matches at various youth levels for the Blues this season.

The England Under-20 international has made one appearance for Chelsea's men's team and this will be his first full-time chance in senior football.

Portsmouth

BBC Radio Solent's Andrew Moon:

Portsmouth head coach John Mousinho is currently giving his pre-match press conference previewing tomorrow night's Championship match at home to Ipswich.

As you can imagine there have been a few questions about transfer deadline day and defender Terry Devlin in particular.

Mousinho has just told us Terry Devlin is "not for sale" and "will be here tomorrow".

We have some news on Terry Devlin coming up very soon, Peter.

League One Huddersfield have won the race to take Swansea forward Bobby Wales on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old - named Wales but a Scotland Under-21 international who was born in the Republic of Ireland - joined the Swans from Kilmarnock last summer and scored on his debut in the EFL Cup win over Crawley and has made five appearances this season.

Lincoln defender Lewis Montsma has completed a permanent transfer to Scottish Premiership side Dundee.

The 27-year-old moved to the Imps in July 2020 after leaving Dordrecht and made 108 appearances, scoring 11 goals, in his time at Sincil Bank.

"We wish Armel well for his time in Italy," Southampton said in a club statement.

Derby County

Absolutely, Jonathan. Here's what BBC Radio Derby's Dominic Dietrich has been reporting:

Derby County are hoping to land FC Utrecht left-back Derry Murkin on a permanent deal.

The 26-year-old was born in Colchester but has never played in English football before.

He will bolster a key position for Rams boss John Eustace following Owen Beck's season-ending injury that finished his loan spell from Liverpool.

Millwall

Loving that positive attitude, Benjamin.

We're currently at £39.5m spent in this window with Birmingham being the most active; their acquisitions of Carlos Vicente and August Priske for a combined £13m has been the standout spend of the window.

This level is slightly above what most Championship clubs spend in January with the exception of January 2025, when £86.1m was the record outlay in winter.

Including business conducted in the summer that would take transfer spend in the Championship for 25-26 to £349m, easily the record for spending in a single season, surpassing, unsurprisingly, 24-25 which was £317m.

And that's of course before any additional business to be completed today.

It's worth remembering that Birmingham have also completed a permanent deal for winger Patrick Roberts so far today.
