Ref Watch LIVE! Premier League, EFL and Scottish Premiership incidents analysed by Dermot Gallagher and Jay Bothroyd

Latest from Your Site News' Dan Khan: 

Manchester United striker Ethan Wheatley is close to joining Bradford City on loan for the rest of the season.

The 20-year-old striker was recalled last week from Northampton Town and is now expected to join a club that is vying for promotion from League One.

Latest from Your Site News' Dan Khan: 

Hull City are close to securing a loan move for Manchester United midfielder Toby Collyer.

Collyer spent the first half of the season on loan at West Brom but has not played since November due to a calf injury.

He has now recovered and is set to join the Tigers in their race for promotion to the Premier League. 

Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has suggested incoming striker Tomas Cvancara is not the answer to his side's problems. 

Your Site News have reported that the Hoops have agreed a deal to sign the Borussia Monchengladbach striker, with Cvancara pictured on Tuesday flying to Scotland ahead of his medical.

Asked whether he fit the bill as a John Hartson or Chris Sutton-type physical striker, he said: "No, he's not actually a target man, believe it or not. He's not one that you're just going to, he's quite quick and he's not really that.

"That's something I just want to say to you, that he's not the John Hartson type orI suppose when Chris [Sutton] played alongside Henrik Larsson, but he's quick, and he's agile, and he wants to prove himself. 

"But if you think that he's the immediate answer to any sort of problem we have, I'm not sure that I would really throw that sort of responsibility on him."

When asked if there could be other new signings before Sunday's trip to Tynecastle, O'Neill said: "Obviously this game takes the immediate priority. We get back on Friday and we're working away, but I couldn't really tell you at this minute."

The likes of Arne Engels and Daizen Maeda have been linked with moves away.

"If some of our players are attracting interest, that's well done to them," he said. "But I would like to think we could add to the squad, and I want to see what happens after that."

Premier League clubs scrambled to add firepower during the summer transfer window, spending  on players categorised as forwards. So why are so many struggling?

Your Site' Nick Wright and Adam Smith analyse the issue in Between the Lines.

Latest from Your Site News' Luca Bendoni and Elliot Cook: 

Middlesbrough are back in for Brighton's Jeremy Sarmiento as they look to hijack Birmingham's deal for the attacking midfielder.

They have returned to the negotiating table after Birmingham agreed a permanent transfer with Brighton for Sarmiento. 

Nothing has been agreed between Boro and Brighton at this stage but the Championship club are back in talks over a permanent deal.

Boro had previously held talks with Brighton before Birmingham advanced on a deal to sign Sarmiento. 

Watford have completed the signing of Edoardo Bove from Roma. 

The 23-year-old midfielder has penned a five-and-a-half-year deal at Vicarage Road. 

Watford FC is pleased to announce the signing of Edoardo Bove on a five-and-a-half-year deal.

Bove suffered a cardiac arrest in December 2024. 

Serie A rules prevent players from playing in competitive games with a defibrillator, which the midfielder had fitted following the incident in the game between Fiorentina and Inter Milan.

He has already been out on the training field with the clubs medical staff and his return to full training will be phased.

A return to competitive action is expected between four to six weeks.

Premier League clubs spent a record 1.92bn on forwards during the summer transfer window.

So why are so many struggling for goals, including Arsenal's Viktor Gyokeres, Man Utd's Benjamin Sesko and Newcastle's Nick Woltemade? 

Between the Lines takes a look at one of the themes of the season.
