The January Transfer Window comes to a close next Tuesday with clubs eager to complete deals as the deadline edges closer.

Plenty of Irish players have been securing a move over the last day with Swansea striker Michael Obafemi set to finalise his transfer to promotion-chasing Burnley.

Other noticeable Irish internationals to complete a deal in the last 24 hours have been goalkeeper Darren Randolph and attacker Sean Maguire while Conor Coventry and Luke McNally have secured loan moves.

Randolph has switched Premier League clubs - signing for Bournemouth from West Ham. The 35-year-old will compete against fellow Irish shot-stopper Mark Travers for the number one jersey.

Maguire has joined Coventry City from Preston while Burnley defender McNally will link up with Seanie at the Sky Blues with the 23-year-old completing a loan deal until the end of the season.

Finally, Ireland under-21 captain Coventry has secured a loan move from West Ham to Rotherham. The talented midfielder, who will join Irish attacker Chiedozie Ogbene at the Millers, will target more first-team experience in the Championship.

The Transfer Window shuts on Tuesday, January 31.
