Many Championship clubs took the opportunity to strengthen their squads in January. Here are the top five loan signings of the January transfer window-
Aleksander Mitrovic, Fulham- The Serbian striker made the move from Newcastle United and has on fire for the London side. He has scored 9 goals in 13 appearances to help fire Fulham into the automatic promotion places.
Harry Wilson, Liverpool- He has turned out to be a huge player for Hull City since joining them from Liverpool. The 21-year-old has bagged 5 goals in 9 Championship appearances and has helped the Tigers retain their Championship status after they made a poor start to the season.
Lee Tomlin, Nottingham Forest- The well travelled Championship midfielder reunited with Aitor Karanka, who whom he knew from their time at Middlesbrough together, at Nottingham Forest on loan from Cardiff City. He has turned out to be a decent signing for the Reds.
Matt Target, Fulham- Slavisa Jokanovic signed the promising left-back from Southampton in January and he has slotted in nicely into Fulham’s backline. He has been another key player in their rise into promotion contention.
Ben Marshall, Millwall- He had fallen out of favour at Wolves but has been a huge signing on loan for Millwall and has helped them rise into the Play-Offs under Neil Harris. Many Millwall are hoping they can sign him on a permanent deal in the summer.
