The French defender has signed a fourand- half-year contract with ‘Gladbach, currently struggling in 14th in the Bundesliga.

Sporting director Max Eberls is impressed by the 25-year-old versatility with Kolodoejczak able to play left and centre-back.

LEE GRANT (Derby to Stoke)
£1.3m (Dh5.8m) – DONE DEAL

It was only a matter of time before Grant turned his loan deal into a permanent one and the keeper has penned a contract until 2019 at the Potters.

Grant has started 15 league games this season and provided strong cover in the absence of injured No1 Jack Butland.

IAGO FALQUE (Roma to Torino)

The former Spain Under-21 forward has converted his loan into a permanent deal which also includes mercurial Argentine winger Juan Iturbe on loan until the end of the season.

JERMAIN DEFOE (Sunderland to West Ham)
£6m (Dh27.2m) – BID REJECTED

West Ham’s search for a striker has taken them to one of their old boys and the man responsible for 11 of Sunderland’s 19 goals in the league this season. With survival at stake, the Black Cats would be mad to sell but the Hammers are ready to up their first offer.

KOUASSI EBOUE (Krasnodar to Celtic)
£2.8m (Dh12.6m) – FREE AGENT

Celtic are close to completing their first signing of the window with the 19-year-old midfielder in Glasgow to hold talks after a fee was agreed with his Russian club. One issue could be a work permit as Eboue is yet to be capped by the Ivory Coast.
