We've seen a number of high-profile completed deals and rumors across the Championship, and Hull City did more than enough to enter such conversations through the loan signing of Liverpool midfielder Fabio Carvalho earlier on in the window, with the Portuguese proving an instant hit through his goal in the win over Sunderland.

This was swiftly followed with the acquisition of Croatian Under-21 goalkeeper Ivor Pandur from Fortuna Sittard, as he comes straight into the equation for a starting berth.

Improving his attacking options has been a priority for Liam Rosenior ever since Liam Delap sustained a knee injury at the start of the month. The latest deal in this area of the park comes in the form of Standard Liege's Noah Ohio.

The latest update surrounding this deal came from transfer guru Fabrizio Romano on Monday night, who confirmed that the 21-year-old has completed his medical with the Tigers and that his contract has been signed.

Since then, Sky Sports' EFL presenter David Prutton revealed on the 1904 Club Podcast via Hull Live that Rosenior is very excited about the prospect of working with the former Manchester United and Manchester City youth prospect.

"He's very excited about Noah," Prutton claimed."He's looking for that different option up top as we've discussed many times on here (the podcast), bringing something different. It's a position, a bit like the full-back, where it felt City needed to cover themselves given the unfortunate incidents with Liam and ongoing issues with Aaron (Connolly).

Hull's links to Turkey have been well-documented through chairman Acun Ilicali, and those affiliations have been put to use for yet another transfer in the form of Trabzonspor playmaker Abdulkadhir Omur.

Hull Live claim that Turkish media outlet Sports Digitale spotted the 24-year-old at Istanbul Airport in the early hours of Tuesday morning, with the expectancy that his move to the Tigers will be completed.

A £4m fee between the two clubs has been mooted, although it's been said that Ilicali has tempted the Süper Lig club to a deal which includes a large sell-on fee, despite the seven-time Turkish champions' initial stance that they would entertain a £7m transfer.

Hull battling with Burnley for Millwall winger

One potential transfer that came to light on Monday evening involved Millwall's exciting young winger, Romain Esse.

That's according to Football Insider, who claim that the Tigers have expressed their interest in pursuing a deal for the 18-year-old alongside Premier League outfit Burnley.

The report claims that Hull have made an official approach, and that Esse is believed to be open to a last-minute transfer away from Joe Edwards' side. This comes down to the eight-time England U19 international not receiving regular minutes in South London, having only played 409 in total across all domestic competitions.

So far this season, Esse has made 15 Championship appearances but has only started on one occasion - a 3-1 defeat away to Norwich in August, just two weeks after scoring the winner and his first professional goal in the Lions' opening day victory away to Middlesbrough.

Meanwhile, Edwards remains confident he will remain a Millwall player past Thursday's deadline.

"As far as I’m concerned, Romain’s here training with us every day and he’s a player that certainly for the long-term I want to be part of [the team] and I want to keep working with,” he told Southwark News.

Ryan Giles to Hull City: The latest

One deal that has caught the eye of many Championship fans has been Hull's pursuit of Luton Town full-back Ryan Giles, who was the Hatters' record-signing back in July following their success in the play-off final.

Since then, the former Wolves man has featured 11 times in the Premier League but only started on five occasions as Rob Edwards' side look to defy the odds and maintain their top-flight status.

Hull's progress in pursuing the man who recorded 11 assists and created 23 big chances whilst on loan at Middlesbrough last season has been extremely swift, with the deal expected to be concluded imminently, as TeamTalk reported on Monday afternoon that Giles was undergoing a medical with the club ahead of the completion of the loan move.

The Luton boss has also revealed the progress of the deal from his point of view, as per Luton Today.

“It’s getting closer, he’s there having some talks now, so I think that one’s inching its way closer. With Gileo, a fantastic person and I think this is just the right one for him and the football club as well. So if it does go through and it happens then of course we wish him well.” he said.

As well as incomings, the Tigers have seen the likes of loanees Scott Twine and Ruben Vinagre leave and join Bristol City and Hellas Verona respectively.

The potential outgoings haven't stopped there, as it has been revealed that the duo of Jason Lokilo and Allahyar Sayyadmanesh could soon depart.

City are said to have agreed a deal with Portuguese outfit Vizela regarding a loan move for Lokilo, who has only scored once for the Tigers since his summer move from Sparta Rotterdam.

Meanwhile, the Iranian has been subject to exit talks through the window, and Belgian Pro League side Westerlo are keen to acquire his services. Although an initial loan deal was suggested, HullLive report that the two clubs are working on a permanent deal which would see him depart just two years after initially signing on loan from Fenerbache.
