Leeds United: Grayson's triple swoop
Busy Simon Grayson has bolstered his options by launching a successful triple beat-the-deadline raid to land Tony Capaldi, Hogan Ephraim and David Martin.

Jet-paced right-winger Ephraim, 21, has joined from QPR until January 1, having featured just four times in the Championship for Rangers this term, making two starts.
He is ineligible for Sunday's tie.
Liverpool keeper Martin, 23, who had a successful loan spell at Leicester last season, has joined until December 28 and will cover for Casper Ankergren with Shane Higgs currently injured.
Left-back Sheehan, whose days at United look increasingly numbered, has signed for League One rivals Swindon and will stay with the Robins until January 4.
South Africa forward Somma has linked up with Chesterfield until January 2, while reserve defender Andrew Milne has headed to Steve Staunton's Darlington until the new year.
