Coventry City manager Aidy Boothroyd has stated he is happy with the make up of his squad at present but elsewhere in the Championship some last minute deals are being done before the window for loan signings closes on Thursday.

Arsenal midfielder Henri Lansbury is back in the division after a spell with Watford last season having signed a one-month deal with Norwich City.

City boss Paul Lambert told the club’s website: ‘I’m delighted Arsenal have agreed to let Henri come here.

‘We have been hit with injuries and midfield is one of the areas we need strengthening. Henri gives us more options in there which is important.’

Former Sky Blues loanee Leon Barnett meanwhile is enjoying his time at Carrow Road and is keen to extend his stay from West Bromwich Albion.

Leaders Queens Park Rangers have allowed Mikele Leigertwood to join rivals Reading until January with the 28-year-old out of favour at Loftus Road so far this season.

Leicester City have been told that Ishmael Miller will not be farmed out by West Bromwich Albion while Nottingham Forest are in the market for a replacement for Dexter Blackstock, injured in their impressive win at Cardiff on Saturday.
