Ipswich sign Bournemouth striker Moore on loan

Ipswich Town have signed big Wales striker Kieffer Moore on loan from Bournemouth.

The 31-year-old previously played for Ipswich between 2017 and 2018.

“It’s great to finally get it over the line because it’s been a long time coming during the window,” he said.

“I remember my first spell here and I’ve gone away and worked very hard on myself during that time, so I’m delighted to be back and can’t wait to get going.

“I was really excited when I spoke to everyone here and now I just want to meet the group, get out on the pitch and contribute.”

Rashford starts for Man Utd

Marcus Rashford starts for Manchester United in their Premier
League fixture at Wolves.

He missed Sunday’s FA Cup win at Newport after reports he had been on nights out in Northern Ireland on Wednesday and Thursday before reporting ill to the club.

Manager Erik ten Hag says he considers the “case
closed” and Rashford has “taken responsibility”.

Meanwhile, recent loan signing Kalvin Phillips starts for West Ham against Bournemouth.

Burnley have signed 21-year-old centre-back Maxime Esteve from Ligue 1 side Montpellier on loan until the end
of the season.

The France Under-21 international has made 62 appearances for Montpellier.

Esteve said: “I feel very good, I’m really happy and ever
since I first heard about the move I wanted to move here.

child and had only pictured myself ever being here, so I am really excited.

Done: Bournemouth get Unal on loan

Bournemouth have agreed a loan deal for Getafe
striker Enas Unal.

The Turkey international has scored 36 goals in 105

Wolves look like missing out on a striker

With Armando Broja due to join Fulham on loan from Chelsea, it appears the transfer window will close with Wolves missing out on the striker Gary O’Neil was hoping to sign.

That means youngster Nathan Fraser is set to remain at Molineux.

It was thought Fraser might leave on loan for the second half of the season but he gives O’Neil the striking option he will need now.

Cornet on Hammers benchWest Ham v Bournemouth (19:30 GMT)

I mentioned about Maxwel Cornet about half an hour ago.

Well, he is indeed on the West Ham bench for their Premier League game against Bournemouth on the London Stadium.

This is football, so anything is possible I suppose but given the game will finish 90 minutes before the deadline closes, I am guessing that means the former Burnley man will remain a Hammer for the rest of the season.

SMS Message: Speaking as a Chelsea fan, I’m personally really liking the lack of transfer movement during this window. Our owners have treated our football club like it’s a baseball team with their obsession for purchasing and selling players like they’re stocks and shares.
This transactional attitude to our playing staff doesn’t work in football though. Football requires a real team ethos whereas in baseball players operate far more individually (albeit in a team environment). Baseball is far more suited to trading players because it doesn’t negatively affect the team ethos in the same way (watch Moneyball to see what I mean).
FFP may not be perfect, but it’s seems to be forcing Boehly and Eghbali to limit the wheeler-dealing quite a bit. from Gareth

Frankfurt sign PSG forward

Paris St-Germain forward Hugo Ekitike has joined German side Eintracht Frankfurt on loan until the end of the season with an option to make it permanent.

The 21-year-old joined PSG 18 months ago from Reims, after being linked to Newcastle earlier that summer.

He only scored four goals for the French giants.

Fulham close to Broja loan deal

Phil McNulty

BBC Sport chief football writer

Fulham have revived their interest in Chelsea striker
Armando Broja and are now expected to secure a loan deal before the transfer
window closes.

The move looked dead earlier in the day when Chelsea’s
demand for a £5m loan fee for the 22-year-old they rate in the £50m bracket was
considered too expensive and appeared to end any chance of a move to Craven
Cottage.

Fulham manager Marco Silva’s is desperate for a goalscorer,
however, and talks re-opened to revive the switch to take Broja across west
London for the rest of the season, with the expectation that the formalities
will be completed.

Wolves had also been interested in taking
Broja to Molineux but all the indications now that Fulham will win the race for
the Albanian international.
