Derby County's promotion rivals making moves in latest League One transfer news

Derby County are still looking to add to their promotion-chasing squad before the transfer deadline day on Thursday.

But as they continue to search, some of their promotion rivals have been making moves and already strengthened their squad in the hopes of being in the best position for automatic promotion come the end of the season.

Paul Warne will need to add at least one more name before the end of the January window if he wants to keep up with the teams around his Derby side.

Portsmouth add hotly contested striker

League leaders Portsmouth have added Wigan Athletic striker Callum Lang to their star-studded attack.

Pompey made the move for Lang who had also generated interest from Derby County and Charlton Athletic.

Paul Warne revealed in a recent interview with BBC Radio Derby that he had lost out on a target due to another League One team outbidding the Rams, it is likely that he was talking about Lang and Portsmouth.

The 25 year-old has made 25 appearances this season for Wigan scoring two and assisting twice.

A brilliant asset that Pompey have added ahead of the promotion charge.

Peterborough look set to add Premier League loanee

Another promotion rival to the Rams, Peterborough United have been targetting Brentford attacker Michael Olakigbe and look set to add the winger.

The 19 year-old, according to Football Insider, is set to go through a medical later today before completing his loan move.

Olakigbe had generated interest from a number of League One and Championship clubs and has also made an impact for the Bees this season.

The winger has made 12 apperances for Brentford including eight in the Premier League.

Peterborough will be hoping that the youngster can add to an already pacey and electric attacking unit.

Bolton Wanderers sign Liverpool and Scotland defender

Bolton Wanderers have, much like Peterborough, signed a Premier League youngster on loan, this time from Liverpool.

Reds full back Calvin Ramsay has signed on loan with Bolton until the end of the season to help bolster the Trotters' back line in preparation for the run in of the League One season.

Ramsay, 20, has recently returned from a loan spell at Championship side Preston North End where he made just two appearances.

He will be hoping to have more of an impact in a Bolton side who are currently sat one place above Derby in the table and looking in a good position for a promotion push.
