Holstein plan to try their luck again in the next window, while Millwall boss Neil Harris also made a surprise late inquiry.

Harris has scored in each of his four league games so far this season.

He hit the back of the net yet again on Saturday as Des Buckingham’s newly-promoted Championship side claimed a 3-1 win over Preston.

Welshman Harris joined Oxford in July 2023 on a free transfer after his Cardiff contract expired.

He has 23 goals and five assists in 60 games for the second-tier club.

Harris also has five caps for Wales after making his debut three years ago.

But he has not featured since 2022 and was not included in their World Cup squad in Qatar.

Elsewhere in the Championship, pressure ramped up on Plymouth manager Wayne Rooney after his side lost again.

The Manchester United legend watched on as his team succumbed to a 1-0 home defeat to Stoke.

The result leaves Plymouth with just two points from four league games.

At the top of the table, Sunderland maintained their perfect start with a fourth successive win, beating Portsmouth 3-1 at Fratton Park.
