Conor McAleny (Wigan - on loan from Everton)

After joining Wigan on loan from Everton at the start of February, the 23-year-old has not taken long to make an impact. He netted on his debut in a 2-0 win at Sheffield United and then struck a brilliant long-range effort to set Wigan on their way to victory at Walsall.

"I was a bit shocked myself when I saw it go in. To be honest, I thought it was going over," said McAleny. "But it dipped at the last minute and it's one of the best I've scored in a while. 

"I have hit a few like that, and hopefully I can keep on doing it. Scoring any goal is nice, but when they're like that, it's always something a bit better."

Sergi Canos (Brentford - on loan from Liverpool)

Brentford might have been on the slide in the Championship over the last month, but Liverpool youngster Canos has continued to impress.

He was particularly influential in the 3-0 win over Wolves, scoring a goal and then setting up another for John Swift. Brentford boss Dean Smith thinks he can be a "future Premier League star".

"He's got to become more consistent and work on that side of his game, but in terms of where he can go, his performances have been very good," said Smith.

"Sergi trains really hard. He wants to get better and there's a future Premier League star there, that's for sure."

Yaya Sanogo (Charlton - on loan from Arsenal)

After a disappointing loan spell with Ajax in the first half of the season, Arsenal forward Sanogo was on the move again on Deadline Day as he joined Charlton.

And it did not take him long to end his year-long wait for a competitive goal as he netted a hat-trick to help the Addicks come from 3-1 down to level at 3-3 against Reading. Even though the Royals scored a late goal to snatch victory, Charlton boss Jose Riga was impressed with the 23-year-old.

"I knew the story of Sanogo and I'm happy for him that he can show his value today," he said. "Of course, you have to show you can do it for more than one game but I'm happy.

"I saw immediately during the training sessions the quality he has. When you arrive from France early as he did, at 19 to 20, to a big team like Arsenal, it's quite difficult. My discussion with him was he can come here and take what he can from this challenge."

Gaston Ramirez (Middlesbrough - on loan from Southampton)

The Uruguayan sealed a loan move to Middlesbrough in January after hardly featuring for Southampton in the first half of the season. He bagged his first goal and won a penalty in the 3-1 victory over Cardiff and Boro boss Aitor Karanka thinks he could use the loan spell as a stepping stone.

"He's a hungry player," he said. "You could think it's a step back but for him, it's a step forward because he wants to keep going and keep improving his career.

"It's good for me having a player like him come here and help us."

Adam Armstrong (Coventry - on loan from Newcastle)

The goals have continued to flow for League One's joint-top scorer as he took his tally for the season to 19 with a brace against Bury.

The 19-year-old recently came up against former Newcastle forward Shola Ameobi, who believes he has a bright future at St James' Park.

"If he keeps developing and keeps building, keeps putting in the work, then I think he can be a top player at Newcastle," said Ameobi, now at Fleetwood.

"He's very driven, and you need to be if you want to make it at the top level in this game; you need to have that determination and he's got that in spades.

"Adam's been one of Coventry's standout players this season, so hopefully he can build on that confidence, go back to Tyneside next season and get a place in the team, which I believe he is more than capable of doing."
