With fans already dreaming of shrewd signings, Sportscasting have combed the likes of ChatGPT, Bing AI and Gemini to predict some of the moves that could materialise.

Jordan Hugill - Rotherham United to Port Vale, undisclosed

West Ham United once forked out a reported £10m to sign Hugill, a figure that has been used a stick to beat him with when his form has dipped.

It has not quite worked out the 32-year-old at the New York Stadium and he has drawn ire from supporters at times. Port Vale are ambitious and eyeing a return to League One, therefore a high-profile swoop for Hugill does not seem completely unlikely.

Coincidentally, Port Vale were the club to give Hugill his break in the EFL as a reward for his non-league exploits.

Steven Fletcher - Wrexham to Chesterfield, loan

As a proud Northern Irishman, Doncaster boss Grant McCann keeps an eye on the talent in his home country. Cooper is among the most gifted players in the NIFL Premiership and is currently on the books of Linfield.

Liam Grimshaw - Unattached to Salford City, free transfer

A versatile figure, Grimshaw can operate at right-back or in midfield. He has been on the free agent market since leaving Dundee United in the summer and arguably has a lot more to offer at just 29.
