Nottingham Forest striker Emmanuel Dennis is close to a loan move to Blackburn Rovers.
Rovers have been interested in signing him during this window, but earlier on Monday, there was not a huge amount of confidence that the deal would get done.
However, they have managed to find a breakthrough, with Dennis poised for a move to Ewood Park to help the Championship play-off challengers.
Dennis has not played for Nottingham Forest this term and has spent time on loan at Watford and Turkish side Basaksehir in the past two seasons.

Nottingham Forest have not considered selling striker Taiwo Awoniyi this month and it is likely to be a quiet deadline day at The City Ground.
One-time Liverpool forward Awoniyi had been linked with a move during the window, with Everton and West Ham reportedly interested.
Awoniyi has scored once in 21 appearances this term and is considered key back-up to Chris Wood - who scored a hat-trick in Saturday's 7-0 thrashing of Brighton to take his season's tally to 17.
Fellow forward Emmanuel Dennis will also stay unless a late move emerges, despite being left out of the 25-man Premier League squad.
Dennis, who joined from Watford for £20m in 2022, has spent time on loan at Turkish side Basaksehir and had a spell back at the Hornets last season.

Nottingham Forest had eyes on Brentford's Yoane Wissa as a potential striking target before the window closed but the trail has gone cold.
It was reported Forest were willing to pay in excess of £20m for the 28-year-old, who has scored 11 Premier League goals this season.
Brentford were not willing sellers and would demand well in excess of that fee to even consider a deal.
Forest had become increasingly pessimistic of any deal being sanctioned, while the Bees are in no mood to sell such a vital component of their attack.

James Ward-Prowse has returned to West Ham United after the Hammers and Nottingham Forest mutually agreed to end his loan spell at the City Ground.
The midfielder, 30, made 10 appearances for Forest, who thanked Ward-Prowse for his "professionalism and dedication during his time at the club".
West Ham said the return of the former Southampton captain will "add experience, depth and quality to head coach Graham Potter's squad for the second half of the campaign".
What do you want on deadline day?published at 07:36 3 February

We asked you what would ensure you are satisfied this deadline day.
Here are some of your comments:
Ryan: There is no minimum requirement. If we have to stick with what we have, then nobody will be too upset. If we can bring in a classy attacking option, then nice. If not, no biggie!
Alun: Keeping our squad together, above all else, is imperative. Adding a striker seems to be the popular choice, but I wouldn't want to lose Taiwo Awoniyi and then fail to bring in an equally if not better player. Chris Wood is playing so well at the moment, but we still need to keep big T, who has had an awfully long time out so keep the faith in him.
Mick: We're short of strikers so another back-up striker for Wood would be ideal. Someone who'll fit in but there is no need to break the bank.
Al: Bring back Dale Taylor from his loan at Wigan. I'm not saying he's going to make a massive difference but we won't know until we try him. It could save us a packet in the process.
Sean: There's not really much that needs changing throughout the team. The dressing room is unified, they're following Nuno's vision and it's going rather well! If we need new players, it's only to cover for what we've already got. So attacking-wise we could go for a striker to cover if Awoniyi moves on, or just as cover to Awoniyi and Wood. As long as the talent we have stays together, that will be a successful window.
Nigel: Back-up for Wood with a view to a more long-term option.
