Calum Davenport will not be leaving West Ham before the transfer window closes at the end of the month. The centre half sold to Spurs to facilitate a payment to City's bankers is wanted by Norwich City to whom he was loaned to,during his days at White Hart Lane.

Davenport's agent had denied him leaving saying to the Norwich Evening News that "He is definitely not going back to Norwich and he will be staying with West Ham. "He may have been in the Norwich area for an operation, but the rumours that he will be returning to Norwich are not true."

Marton Fulop and Clive Clarke have joined Leicester City on loan from Sunderland. Hungarian Fulop who was much wanted by Micky Adams will be at the Crisp Bowl for the rest of the season whilst Clarke who hails from a Coventry City supporting family has signed a three month deal.

Covsupport can confirm that Jerome Grandison has been not taken on by Coventry City. The Birmingham born forward who was used in the U18's as a striker and a defender was released at the end of last season and has signed for Stratford Town in the Midland Alliance.

He scored twice on his league debut at Barwell and was involved in two of the goals that beat Coventry Sphinx last night. He is not the only former Sky Blue at the club which is currently ground-sharing at Solihull Moors as former City Reserve team Rory May and youngster Kirk Miller also play for Micky Moore's side.

Adam Virgo has joined Colchester United on loan from Celtic on a six month loan deal. The defender/striker made twelve appearances in two spells for City last season. He had five substitute appearances and scored in the away game at Leeds United.
