No further moves in or out of Portman Road are set to take place before the January transfer window closes at 11pm this evening.

The Blues made two final-day additions on loan for the rest of the season, Tottenham striker Troy Parrott and right-back Luke Matheson from Wolves, while Brett McGavin departed to Ayr United on the same basis.

Parrott and Matheson are the Blues' fifth and sixth loanees - in addition to Mark McGuinness, Keanan Bennetts, Josh Harrop and Luke Thomas - meaning one loan player will have to be left out of matchday squads.

As reported earlier, Salford City showed interest in forward Jack Lankester but ultimately made no formal approach.

Claims early in the day that Kayden Jackson was in talks with Huddersfield regarding a loan were wide of the mark, as was a late report that a £1 million bid had been accepted from the Terriers. The West Yorkshiremen did, however, make a loan offer close to the deadline but too late for Town to consider.

Fleetwood and Doncaster showed tentative interest in Toto Nsiala but without it being progressed.

Jon Nolan was linked with Peterborough, Rotherham, Wigan and Doncaster and there was some interest, however, we understand the Blues received no firm offers for the midfielder.

Elsewhere, former Blues loanee Jonny Williams has been reunited with his Town boss Mick McCarthy at Cardiff City from Charlton for a fee understood to be below £200,000.

Ex-Blues striker Frank Nouble has rejoined Colchester United on loan from Plymouth Argyle.

Former Blues winger Jordan Roberts joined Motherwell from Hearts on loan.

alfromcol added 10:55 - Feb 2 I am working on the basis that Lambert now has until the end of the season to sort it out. Failure to get promotion will mean the sack.

ChrisFelix added 13:28 - Feb 2 As there appears to be a need to include Chambers in the team surely we need to play wing backs. That way he can wander arround in the middle 3

blues1 added 17:07 - Feb 2 Aas1010. Showing it total ignorance of the situation. We could not sign the players you suggesting due to the salary cap. We could not sign anyone over 21 in news years day last year, as we already have the maximum 22 players in that category. Plus, their wage would have been higher than we're allowed to pay. Plus,we not able to pay transfer fees. So loans for players under 21 were only option.
