The 32-year-old last played in the Championship during the 2009/10 season, helping Newcastle to promotion with 17 goals in 39 league appearances. Since then, he has remained at Premier League level with the Magpies, Liverpool and West Ham United.

The last few years have not worked out for the striker. The last season in which he scored more than five league goals was 2016/17 for West Ham, and since then he has struggled to get minutes wherever he has been.

A drop down the league could reignite what is fast becoming a stagnant career.

Gray Completes QPR Medical

Watford striker Andre Gray has completed his medical ahead of a loan move to Queens Park Rangers, reports Ryan Gray of the Watford Observer.

An announcement from QPR is expected later today.

Cain Set for Newport Loan

Liverpool youngster Jake Cain is set to join Newport County on loan, reports Simon Hughes and Caoimhe O’Neill of The Athletic.

It will be the 19-year-old’s first loan away from the club but Liverpool will also have the opportunity to re-call him in January.

Cain is highly thought of by Reds manager Jurgen Klopp. He made his debut in the FA Cup fourth-round replay against Shrewsbury Town in 2020 and has made numerous appearances on the substitutes bench, featuring in nine matchday squads for Champions League fixtures.

Blackpool Sign Sterling on Loan

Championship side Blackpool have signed Chelsea youngster Dujon Sterling on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old right-back has previously had loan experience at Coventry City and Wigan Athletic, while also being a regular member of England’s youth teams.

At domestic level, he has won the FA Youth Cup three times and he made his debut for the first-team in an FA Cup tie against Nottingham Forest in 2017.

 

Khadra to Join Blackburn

Bournemouth Agree Fee for Lowe

Bournemouth have agreed a fee with Swansea City to sign attacker Jamal Lowe, reports Stuart James of The Athletic.

It is believed the fee is around £1.5 million and could rise to £2 million, and Swansea hope to use that money to find a replacement before the window closes tonight.

The Cherries are also hopeful of signing Ryan Christie from Scottish side Celtic, although Premier League club Burnley are also in the hunt for him.

Ipswich Re-Sign Celina on Loan

Ipswich Town have completed the signing of Bersant Celina from French side Dijon on a season-long loan.

Celina returns to the side that he spent time at during the 2017/18 season when he was at Manchester City. During that time, he scored eight goals in 38 appearances.
