United clinch three new signings

Former West Bromwich Albion midfielder Tom Solanke and ex-Huddersfield Town striker Micah Obiero arrived on permanent contracts.

Sheffield United defender Jean Leroy Belehouan, meanwhile, arrived on loan until January 2 from Bramall Lane.

All three players are aged 21 and have been handed squad numbers 17, 19 and 20 respectively.

"We have had some fantastic reports on Tom," said manager Paul Cox, in relation to Solanke. "He was set to sign for a club at our level, but we have managed to secure Tom. There were a lot of positives from his performance (against Nottingham Forest).

"Micah has been on our radar and we have managed to get it over the line. He's a young player with tonnes of potential. When we get him into our environment and get him fitter and stronger, we think we have got a real player on our hands.

"We have kept our eye on Jean for a while now and he came in and played one of the behind-closed-doors games (earlier in the summer). He is a big, strong athlete who I feel will only get better."
