A HECTIC day is expected today as Oxford United bid to secure loan deals in and out of the club before the 5pm deadline.

It is the final chance for boss Michael Appleton to make changes before the transfer window opens in January.

John Campbell’s switch from Jarrow Roofing is set to go through, with the prolific striker joining on loan until the new year, when it will become a permanent move.

The Oxford Mail understands there is a chance of one more new face arriving if negotiations go smoothly today.

There could also be departures, with Appleton keen to loan out senior players who need games with Junior Brown and Michael Raynes the most likely to exit.
