As the clock ticks on clubs across the country, here are the latest transfer stories from across the Championship.

Jayden Danns wanted by duo

Liverpool striker Jayden Danns is wanted by Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers amid speculation he could be allowed to leave Anfield on loan.

Stoke City have also been heavily linked with the forward during the window as they look to beef up their attacking options.

Danns is highly regarded by Anfield's hierarchy and played in their Champions League defeat against PSV last week.

Liverpool believe he is ready for a loan move, and there is no shortage of suitors for Danns, who could be on the move before Monday's 11pm deadline.

Danns was on the scoresheet in the 4-0 victory over Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup third round earlier this month.

And Sunderland and Blackburn are both looking to strengthen their promotion hopes by landing the 19-year-old.

Plymouth target Swansea deal

Plymouth Argyle are chasing Swansea City midfielder Jay Fulton according to reports.

Alan Nixon of the Sun says Argyle are eager to add the midfielder to their squad ahead of Monday's 11pm deadline.

Fulton is under contract under the summer of 2026 and Plymouth are keen on securing a loan deal for the 30-year-old.

Fulton has made 19 appearances this season in all competitions and has scored once with Plymouth believing they can aid their survival fight after they beat West Brom yesterday.

Fulton has been at Swansea since 2014 and has played 272 games, scoring 16 goals during that time.

Burnley aiming for Edwards deal

Promotion-chasing Burnley are look set to clinch the signing of Marcus Edwards on loan from Sporting Lisbon.

The 26-year-old’s time in Portugal looks to be close to an end with the winger having failed to make an appearance since November.

Burnley now look to be in pole position to sign him with Record, one of Portugal's main media outlets, reporting he is joining the Clarets on loan.

There will be an option to make the move permanent if the club are promoted to the Premier League.

Should that scenario occur, Burnley would then pay €10m plus a further €1m in potential bonus payments. Sporting would also keep 10 per cent of a future sale. He’s now set for a medical.
