Championship side Sheffield Wednesday will learn later on Wednesday if they completed the signing of Middlesbrough striker Jordan Rhodes in time.
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 that Wednesday filed their paperwork to sign the 26-year-old in time.
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.
