Tykes turn to Knight

Barnsley made it four new arrivals on loan deadline day as they snapped up Swansea City striker Leon Knight.
The Tykes had already snared Cheltenham Town's Grant McCann, West Brom's Ronnie Wallwork and West Ham's teenage winger Kyel Reid.
Knight had been transfer-listed by the Swans after a falling-out with manager Kenny Jackett.
However, he told his new club's official website: "I am not disappointed with the way things went at Swansea. Kenny Jackett had his opinion and I had mine so that is the end of it.
"Strikers are judged on goals and I scored a lot at Swansea and want to do the same here for Barnsley.
"I am ready to get out there and am really excited about this chance. I cannot wait to get playing and score some goals."
