4. Steven Alzate to Hull City

Steven Alzate has put pen to paper on a two year deal with Hull City with the option of a further one year. The Colombian featured 51 times for Brighton including 43 Premier League appearances.

The 26 year old left Brighton at the end of the 2023/24 season and was signed by Hull on the 9th September as a last minute addition to their squad which fans were sceptical over.

A Premier League midfielder set to be in their prime for a hungry Hull City side who currently sit 19th (as of when this is written) but will be starving to climb the Championship table as high as they can.

🗣 "He's a really brilliant footballer."

🎥 @HullCity head coach Tim Walter talks about new signing Steven Alzate and what the Colombia international will add to his midfield.

5. Freddie Ladapo to Huddersfield Town

Ladapo featured 17 times last season in the Championship for newly promoted and Premier League side Ipswich Town before leaving on loan to Charlton Athletic.

The League One proven striker makes his return to the league and will be a great asset to Huddersfield as Ladapo has scored 67 goals and 12 assists during his time in League One over the years.

The 31 year old has not played consistent football since Ipswich's promotion to the Championship but a return to League One football, Lapado could be exactly what Michael Duff and Huddersfield need in order to push for their return back to the Championship after relegation last season.

🚨🚨| CONFIRMED:

Huddersfield Town have signed Freddie Ladapo! ✅️✍️#htafc
