With the transfer window set to open next month, teams in League One will already be preparing lists of potential targets.

Clubs who are able to nail their recruitment in January will boost their chances of achieving success in what is a highly competitive division.

Whether a side is fighting for promotion or looking to avoid relegation, the importance of the upcoming window simply cannot be understated.

Here, we have decided to take a look at the latest League One transfer news...

Derby unlikely to secure reunion with Malcolm Ebiowei in January

A report from The Sun journalist Alan Nixon on Twitter earlier this week suggested that Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County were interested in signing Malcolm Ebiowei on loan from Crystal Palace.

Whereas it remains to be seen whether the Owls will make a move for the 19-year-old, it is now looking unlikely that the Rams will secure a reunion with their former player in January.

According to the Derby Telegraph, Ebiowei is not currently expected to return to Pride Park.

Before sealing a move to Palace, the teenager provided three direct goal contributions in 16 senior appearances for Derby.

Portsmouth set to recall Haji Mnoga from Gillingham

According to a report from The News, Portsmouth are set to recall Haji Mnoga from Gillingham when the window opens in January.

The defender has struggled to make an impact in League Two for the Gills as he has only featured on four occasions at this level during the current campaign.

 

 

Mnoga was sent-off on his debut for Gillingham and was not included in their match-day squad for their recent showdown with Crawley Town in this division.

It is understood that Pompey boss Danny Cowley will be looking to sanction another loan move for Mnoga when the defender returns to Fratton Park.

Bolton boss Ian Evatt expecting Conor Bradley to stay at Bolton

Bolton Wanderers manager Ian Evatt has admitted in an interview with the Manchester Evening News that he believes Conor Bradley will stay at the club for the remainder of the season.

Since sealing a loan move to the University of Bolton Stadium from Liverpool earlier this year, the defender has produced a host of impressive performances.

In the 16 league games that he has participated in, Bradley has managed to find the back of the net on three occasions while he has also provided four assists for his Bolton team-mates.

Bradley is expected to make his 23rd appearance of the season tomorrow when Bolton take on Bristol Rovers.

Lincoln City's Regan Poole attracting Championship interest

As revealed exclusively by Football League World, Lincoln City defender Regan Poole is attracting interest from a number of Championship sides ahead of the upcoming window.

Cardiff City, Queens Park Rangers, Millwall, Luton, Blackpool and Huddersfield Town are all keeping tabs on Poole's current situation at the LNER Stadium.

Poole has made 26 appearances for the Imps in all competitions this season and is expected to be included in the club's starting eleven for their clash with Shrewsbury Town on Saturday.

Derby not looking to re-sign Duane Holmes

Derby are not believed to be interested in re-signing Duane Holmes in the New Year, according to a report from the Derby Telegraph.

Holmes was linked with the Rams last month but is not currently believed to be on the club's list of potential targets.

Despite representing Huddersfield on 20 occasions in the Championship this season, Holmes has yet to score a goal for his side who are currently bottom of the league standings.
