Cardiff sign Karlan Grant on loan from West Brom

"I'm absolutely delighted. I can't wait to meet my new teammates and the manager, and get started," Grant told the club's official website.

"I spoke with the manager, and he said nothing but good things about the Club. I know how big the stadium is, and I know how good the crowd can be. I've got a few friends here as well.

"Callum Robinson and I got on really well when we were at West Brom, and we're actually still very close. He's a good friend of mine and we complement each other when we play together, so hopefully we can replicate that."

Cardiff manager Erol Bulut added: "Karlan will bring goals, speed and work rate to this team. He works hard on the pitch, not just offensively but in defence as well.

"Now, we have a few players like Karlan who can play in different positions. He can play as a winger, but we can also use him as a striker and a second striker.

"I am very excited, and happy that we have these attacking players. All of them are good goalscorers and playmakers who can make assists. They can win games and change the table by getting results for us."

Antonio Colak joins Parma from Rangers

"Antonio can be really proud of his time here at Rangers," Rangers boss Michael Beale told the club website.

"He scored goals and made a good contribution on the pitch but also as a man and professional, he was someone that I enjoyed working with and who built strong relationships with his teammates and staff off the pitch.

"We initially had a conversation at the end of last season, where we discussed football, his family and also what the future would look like in terms of the team. Antonio was very honest on his side and we have been working with him and his agent in the following weeks to find a solution that suits all parties. I am pleased for him to have this excellent opportunity in Italy.

"He took the time to speak to all the staff and squad in Germany to say goodbye and thank you. This moment typified Antonio's class as a man. Everyone at Rangers would like to wish him and his family huge success moving forwards and he will always have a warm welcome at Ibrox."

Kofi Balmer joins Port Vale on loan from Crystal Palace

"I'm looking forward to working with Kofi again, he is the type of player that will fit in well with what we're building on and off the field here at Vale Park and will provide good competition in defence," manager Andy Crosby told Port Vale's website.

"He has played more than 100 senior games in his career and has further developed his game at Premier League first-team level, he has also gained invaluable experience training and learning from elite-level players at Crystal Palace, Kofi has experienced playing international football with Northern Ireland and will be looking to regain his place in the senior squad.

"I've been lucky to see what Kofi is capable of first-hand during my time at Northern Ireland Under 21s, he has got the drive to succeed and is a natural leader, even at a young age. He will also have the support network around him to help him grow during his time here."

Director of Football David Flitcroft added: "Kofi will be an excellent addition to our defensive unit as he can operate in all three central defensive positions.

"At the age of 22 he already experienced real men's football playing for Ballymena and Larne over the last 12 months he has been a part of a great learning and elite training environment at Crystal Palace.

"The manager and John Schofield have first-hand experience of Kofi having worked with him at International level and the support staff will help him with his continued development.

"We'd like to thank Crystal Palace, in particular Mark Bright and Ben Stevens for allowing Kofi to continue his development with us and we look forward to working with them in the future."
