Sheffield Wednesday will learn on Wednesday if their signing of Jordan Rhodes from Middlesbrough was completed before the transfer window closed.
The Owls agreed a £10m deal with the Premier League club, but a meeting at the English Football League will determine if the deal can go through.
BBC Radio Sheffield understands the Championship side filed their paperwork to sign the 26-year-old in time.
English clubs had until 23:00 GMT on Tuesday to complete transfers.
Striker Rhodes has scored six goals in 24 league appearances for Boro.
However, the Scotland international, who moved to the Riverside from Blackburn for £9m in January 2016, has featured just six times this season and has failed to score.
