Transfer deadline day: Premier League clubs' targets Wednesday's derby victory over West Bromwich Albion lifted the mood at Villa Park and Paul Lambert has bolstered his squad by recruiting a left-back and a forward, which leaves a creative midfielder as his remaining target. Villa have make another bid for Norwich's Wes Hoolahan but that has been rejected. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been busy in the market so far and is unlikely to do any further business, although a central defender is badly needed at the Cardiff City Stadium. However, it appears that his main target, Wigan Athletic's Iván Ramis, has slipped through the net. The frustrating goalless draw against West Ham United on Wednesday at Stamford Brudge once again highlighted Jose Mourinho's need for a striker in the mould of Didier Drogba, but it seems the manager will have to wait until summer to land one of his major targets. Tony Pulis would like at least four new additions as he attempts to secure survival for his fast-improving side and wants cover in all positions. The arrivals of Tom Ince and Iván Ramis are expected, while the Palace manager is also keen to sign a proven centre-forward. Roberto Martínez has declared himself satisfied with his January business, especially giant striker Lacina Traoré, but if Johnny Heitinga completes his move out of Merseyside, possibly to Galatasaray, expect Martínez to have one last look around the market for a defensive midfielder. The Cottagers, who lie next to bottom of the Premier League, could be one of the busiest clubs over the final hours of deadline day, having attempted to set up deals for Olympiakos striker Konstantinos Mitroglou and Tottenham midfielder Lewis Holtby. They certainly need reinforcements. Steve Bruce, having secured the signings of Shane Long and Nikica Jelavic, will be mainly concerned with trimming the first-team squad of unwanted players before the window closes, but he may make a late attempt to sign a centre-back because of an injury to James Chester. Liverpool are riding the crest of a wave at the moment, but It has been an unfulfilling January in the transfer market, the capture of Yevhen Konoplyanka the only deal on the horizon. Brendan Rodgers will still be short of the top-class full back and No 10 he first said he wanted last May. With Manuel Pellegrini's squad operating on full power ahead of a quadruple trophy bid, the only target appears to be making a head start on summer business with a late move for the Porto duo, central defender Eliaquim Mangala and defensive midfielder Fernando. Despite the £37.1 million club record signing of Juan Mata from Chelsea, United's two gaping holes at left-back and in central midfield remain unfilled. Frustratingly for David Moyes, his main targets have proved either too expensive or too difficult to prise from their clubs. The desire to sign a replacement for Yohan Cabaye in this window is not as strong as Newcastle supporters were led to believe. Alan Pardew is still hoping to bring in Lyon's Clément Grenier, but a deal looks extremely unlikely after a bid of £10 million was rejected. Chris Hughton's search for a centre-half was concluded last night with former Everton defender Joseph Yobo agreeing to sign on loan from Turkish side Fenerbahce. Norwich had also considered Blackburn's Scott Dann but the deal collapsed due to his big wages. After a month of boardroom drama, the on-field priority was always to keep key players, notably Luke Shaw, Jack Cork, Morgan Schneiderlin and Rickie Lambert. That is likely to be achieved but Southampton would still like to move Pablo Osvaldo out of the club today and recruit another striker. Mark Hughes has solved one problem by signing Peter Odemwingie but still wants another forward. He is also keen on a defensive midfielder to strengthen his squad, with Sunderland's Lee Cattermole his preferred option and a late bid is likely to be made today. The arrival of Liam Bridcutt from Brighton and Ignacio Scocco from Argentina this week mean departures are more likely than arrivals at the Stadium of Light on deadline day with Lee Cattermole and Craig Gardner just two of those attracting interest. Michael Laudrup would ideally like to see another striker, a centre-half and a midfielder come in today as he looks to move further away from relegation danger, but there is no sign that the Dane is about to break the bank and meet the escalating demands of clubs and agents. Chairman Daniel Levy cannot help but look for last-minute bargains. Dimitar Berbatov could return to White Hart Lane from Fulham, even though manager Tim Sherwood claims he does not need more strikers - despite the midweek drubbing at the hands of Manchester City. With Nicolas Anelka likely to miss the Liverpool game this Sunday with a knee injury, Pepe Mel's need for a forward has increased as his side hover just three points above the relegation zone. Queens Park Rangers' Bobby Zamora has been considered. Manager Sam Allardyce and co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan are still looking for deadline-day deals for a central defender and a forward to further bolster the attack after the return to fitness of Andy Carroll. Former Leeds winger Max Gradel has also emerged as a target.
