Transfer window news.....Ins (lol) and outs.

Calum Dyson has gone to Stevenage and there was a mention in their club website about an option to buy. Is that correct?

DA: Yes, the option is to buy because that’s what they wanted to have in the contract.

Stevenage have had a number of players that they have taken on loan before, and if they have done well with them they have lost out.

So we added that into the contract just to give them a bit of safeguard, but it will probably not happen. He will come back to us.

CE: What are your thoughts on Calum’s season up until this point?

DA: Difficult. He was taken in as a third striker behind Freddie and Ryan Taylor and they are ahead of him.

CE: He wasn’t able to force his way in. Was he ever close to doing that?

DA: You have got Ladapo who is one of the top scorers in the division and Ryan Taylor who is one of the best strikers in the division as well so they are not easy to get ahead of.

tidying up another loose end sort of,

Derby County have taken former Celtic and Hibernian centre-back Efe Ambrose on trial.

The 30-year-old free agent has been training with the Rams, having triggered a clause to leave Scottish Premiership side Hibs in January.

Manager Frank Lampard had previously said that strengthening the defence was "crucial" if they are to maintain their Championship promotion challenge.

"Nothing is signed and sealed yet," Lampard said on Friday.

"Efe hasn't played a competitive match since the end of December. It was good for us to have a look at him in this way. If a deal is done, we will let everybody know."

A season-ending injury to Curtis Davies left Lampard without his captain, and further injuries at the back prompted the former England midfielder to say in January that first-choice duo Richard Keogh and Fikayo Tomori needed "help".

"We know we needed a centre-back," Lampard added. "I felt we would get someone but that didn't happen. Efe is here outside of the window and if he can come in then great.

"If not then we have two regular centre-halves that have been playing fantastically well all season."
