and live on Freeview channel 276

"He has good experience, including at the top level, and will be comfortable in a number of positions across the back line, whether we play with three or four at the back."
Goode joins Adam Davies, who has arrived from Stoke City, as the second new face at Bramall Lane this month.
Elsewhere, Lys Mousset has joined Serie A side Salernitana on loan until the summer, when his Blades contract will expire.
Further business today – at Bramall Lane and across the Championship – could go right down to the wire, so stick with us throughout the day on our live blog for up-to-the-minute updates.

Key Events
- Sheffield United finally land defender as Charlie Goode signs
- United lost Robin Olsen and replaced him with Adam Davies in the window
- Lys Mousset makes move to Serie A
That’s the deadline
and we heard just before it slammed shut that Millwall made a late move for Luke Freeman, after already taking Oli Burke from United in this window; the deadline has now passed but deals can still go through if a deal sheet was submitted before 11pm, allowing teams extra time to get deals over the line. So the drama could continue for a few hours yet!
Bournemouth at it again...
making a FIFTH deadline day signing by bringing in Todd Cantwell on loan from Norwich ... they’re having a REAL go at promotion this season judging by their January business
Luke Freeman on the move?
Various reports have indicated that there are two teams still trying to prise Luke Freeman away from Bramall Lane. Luton Town and Millwall have both been mentioned so far, so there could be some movement before the window closes but they’ve 20 minutes to sort it. Freeman’s contract runs out in the summer and he’ll be off then for sure, but it wouldn’t do any harm to have his wages of the books now and maybe even a nominal fee
Another former Blades target on the move
Domingos Quina, who was a target for the Blades under Chris Wilder, is returning to Watford after his Fulham loan was terminated - and may join Barnsley on loan before the 11pm deadline, according to reports...
Stoke City have gone big
Stoke City have brought in Nigeria international striker Josh Maja on loan from Bordeaux as they prepare to make a promotion push in the second half of the season. The Potters are 12th in the table, level on points with United but having played two games more.
Boss Michael O’Neill said: “Josh will bring a different dimension to our attacking options and I’m really pleased that we’ve held off competition from a number of other clubs to secure him.”
Former Blade linked with another club
Dean Henderson had earlier in the day been linked with a loan move to Newcastle and Watford are now the latest club to be mentioned in connection with the former Blades loanee, who is keen to get out of Manchester United and play football for the rest of the season after growing tired of life on the Old Trafford bench.
One to keep an eye on before 11pm, perhaps, if you like to keep an eye on top former Blades...
