League One Transfer Updates

Wycombe Wanderers striker Alex Samuel has left the club permanently to join Ross County. The 25-year-old netted one Championship goal last season as the club were relegated back to League One.

Accrington Stanley have signed 19-year-old striker Jovan Malcolm on a season-long loan. Malcolm is yet to feature for the Baggies, but has made a name for himself across both under-18 and under-23 academy leagues.

Sheffield Wednesday are rumoured to be interested in signing former West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City forward Saido Berahino.

Fulham midfielder, Ben Davis, has joined Oxford United on a two-year deal. Davis is a Thai Under-23 international, and grew up in Singapore.

Bit of a curveball in the north east with Sunderland reported to be close to doing a double deal for a Bayern Munich duo.

The Black Cats are said to be close to landing striker Leon Dajaku and keeper Ron Thorbert-Hoffman, who are said to be close to signing for Union Berlin before moving to the Stadium of Light for the season.

Getting down towards eight hours until the window’s close. Sounding quiet in terms of deals getting over the line presently, but Pompey pushing for a move for a right-sided defender with Mahlon Romeo a target. The striker is the other priority, with a move out for Ellis Harrison opening the doors to push the boundaries on that recruit. Got a feeling this will go late.

Chief sports writer Neil Allen has been told there is no Pompey interest in Tom Eaves

Pompey are still full steam ahead in their pursuit of Mahlon Romeo. There has been talk of Ipswich interest, but it’s all still looking good over the right-back’s arrival from Millwall.
