Republic of Ireland international Adam Idah has completed a loan move to Celtic that will see him play at Celtic Park for the remainder of the season.
The Norwich attacker will hope a switch to Scotland will kickstart his career, having seen his playing time with the Canaries reduced to cameos from the bench of late.
The 22-year-old forward came through the ranks at the Canaries and has made 115 appearances for the club, scoring 17 goals, including seven this season.
Idah will provide competition for main striker Kyogo Furuhashi while Oh Hyeon-gyu is on international duty with South Korea at the Asian Cup.
"It's such a huge club with such a big history behind it and I can’t even put into words what it’s like to be at Celtic," Idah told the SPL club's official website.
"My family and my friends are all delighted that I’m here and I just can’t wait to get started. All of us back home support Celtic so it’s huge for me and I’m so excited to be here.
"I want to play games, I want to help this team and the aim for me is to win those two trophies and I want to score a lot of goals for this club."
Idah is Brendan Rodgers' second signing of the January transfer window after German winger Nicolas Kuhn left Rapid Vienna to sign a five-and-a-half-year deal.
Fellow Irish international Mikey Johnston revealed he was keen on a move to West Brom from the start of the transfer window after sealing a loan transfer to the Sky Bet Championship side.
The 24-year-old has moved until the end of the season 24 hours after fellow Celtic winger Marco Tilio rejoined Melbourne City on loan.
The Ireland international had to be patient to get his chance after returning from a season-long loan with Vitoria Guimaraes in the summer and he failed to make his mark in a run of four consecutive starts in December.
He did have a bigger impact off the bench and struck twice against Dundee on St Stephen's Day but a loan move was seen as the best option by Rodgers and the player himself.
"I want to hit the ground running and make an impact right away," Johnston told the West Brom website. "I think the deal has been rumbling on since the start of the window, so I'm just happy to get it over the line.
"Right from the start, the gaffer Carlos Corberan was on to me to get me in. He was telling me all about the way he likes to play and bits about the club.
"I was really keen as soon as I spoke to him. He’s impressive. You know exactly what he needs from you and it’s exactly the type of manager I like to work under."
Johnston’s contract with Celtic runs until the summer of 2026.
Another Irishman on the move is Wolves Ireland Under-21 captain Joe Hodge, who has joined QPR on loan. Hodge, named on the bench in Thursday night's seven-goal thriller at Molineux against Manchester United, had hinted at his preference for a loan move if more regular first-team football didn't come his way.
Crystal Palace's swoop for midfielder Adam Wharton from Blackburn looked to be the biggest Premier League move of deadline day as the transfer window closed with a flurry of late loan deals.
The Eagles – fighting to stay clear of being dragged into a relegation battle – are said to have paid an initial fee of £18million, which could potentially see a further £4m in add-ons for the talented 19-year-old.
Wharton, who has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract, feels Crystal Palace is the right place for him to further his ambitions.
"The way they have brought players from the Championship and developed them into world-class players in the Premier League is something that stood out to me," Wharton said on the club’s website. "It is a big reason why I wanted to come here."
Aston Villa have completed their move for Middlesbrough striker Morgan Rogers after a concerted January pursuit.
The 21-year-old, who only arrived at Boro from Manchester City in July last year, has joined for an undisclosed fee, which it is understood could eventually amount to the region of £16m, and the duration of his initial contract has not been revealed.
Rogers, who made 33 senior appearances for the Teesside club and scored seven goals, the most recent of them in last month’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg defeat at Chelsea, has been the subject of prolonged interest.
Boro resisted Villa’s early overtures for a player who began his professional career at West Brom and had loan spells at Lincoln, Blackpool and Bournemouth during his time at the Etihad Stadium, but finally settled for a healthy return on a man who cost them around £1m.
Villa later announced Australia goalkeeper Joe Gauci would be joining from Adelaide United following the Asian Cup.
Newcastle brought in teenage midfielder Alfie Harrison from Manchester City.
Winger Bertrand Traore has joined Spanish side Villarreal on a free transfer for the rest of the season after leaving Aston Villa.
Villa confirmed that Traore had agreed a mutual termination of his contract.
The 28-year-old Burkina Faso international has struggled with playing time this season, only spending nine minutes on the field in the Premier League spread over two matches.
He will join struggling Villarreal, who are 14th in the LaLiga table with 23 points, seven clear of the relegation zone.
Burnley, who sit second bottom of the table, completed a loan deal for Montpellier defender Maxime Esteve until the end of the season and then also announced the arrival of right-back Lorenz Assignon on loan from Rennes.
Centre-back Esteve, 21, had watched the Clarets' 3-1 defeat at Manchester City on Wednesday night before completing the formalities of his deal ahead of the transfer deadline. Esteve becomes Kompany's second signing of the January transfer window after forward David Datro Fofana joined on loan from Chelsea.
There were plenty of loan deals announced late in the window.
Sheffield United confirmed Mason Holgate's arrival until the end of the season from Everton after ending his spell at Southampton six months early having only made seven appearances.
Chelsea's 19-year-old Brazilian midfielder Andrey Santos has joined French club Strasbourg on loan until the end of the season, having spent the first half of the campaign at Nottingham Forest.
Earlier, Forest had signed 18-year-old striker Rodrigo Ribeiro on loan from Sporting Lisbon and there were more late deals at the City Ground, with veteran goalkeeper Matz Sels arriving from Strasbourg.
18-year-old striker Ribeiro has joined on loan until the end of the season in a deal which could become permanent. He came through the ranks in Lisbon and made his professional debut for the club as a late substitute in a Champions League tie against Manchester City in March 2022.
Forest also confirmed Orel Mangala had completed a loan move to Lyon, who have the option to make the deal permanent in the summer.
Bournemouth have signed Turkey forward Enes Unal on loan from Getafe for the rest of the season and Tottenham forward Alejo Veliz has completed a loan move to Sevilla.
There was an exit rather than an arrival at Brighton, with midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud moving to Stuttgart on loan until the end of the season.
The 28-year-old German joined Albion in June last year from Borussia Dortmund and returns to the Bundesliga after making 14 appearances in all competitions for the club.
Despite the 11pm deadline, more transfers could be completed provided clubs have lodged a 'deal sheet' to allow extra time to tie up the formalities.
Fulham have been chasing a loan deal for Chelsea striker Armando Broja.
It is understood that West Ham’s Pablo Fornals – who was set to be named on the bench against Bournemouth – has permission to discuss a £7million move to Real Betis.
However, Said Benrahma’s proposed move to Lyon broke down, despite the player having travelled to France for a medical.
"West Ham United can confirm that the deadline day deal for Said Benrahma to join Olympique Lyonnais was not concluded ahead of the deadline, with a deal unable to be completed before 11pm," a spokesman for the Premier League club said.
