Deadline Day done and dusted: Significant departures from the Championship, late League One scramble, and more

The window shut at 11pm on Tuesday night. Deal sheets gave clubs until 1am, which meant we saw announcements past midnight, with some clubs yet to confirm their acquisitions at the time of writing.

There were some headline departures from the Championship, as Premier League clubs looked to add finishing touches from the division below. Clubs across the Championship scrambled to find value in players who became available with just hours left of the window.

In League One, Leicester stole the show, adding four new players to their squad, whilst Sheffield Wednesday are still working on the minutiae with their deal for Davis Keillor-Dunn. In League Two, Newport County made some late moves in the loan market, as did Paul Cook's Chesterfield, swooping to secure themselves some exciting loan additions.
