Derby County have taken Arsenal midfielder Nacer Barazite on a one-month loan.

Derby manager Paul Jewell told his club’s official website: “Nacer is young but has played in their first-team and he will come here to join up with our first-team squad.

“I am quite keen to get a link-up with some of the top teams and I spoke to [Arsenal manager] Arsene Wenger over the summer about a few players.

“Nacer is going to be a good player. He is an exciting prospect, a very good footballer, and he will be a good addition to our squad.”

Huddersfield Town have loaned in Deby County striker Liam Dickinson for a month.

Town manager Stan Ternent told his club’s official website: “I spoke to [Derby manager] Paul [Jewell] and I knew he was bringing a few players in and it’s a big step up for Liam from where he has been to the Championship. I’ve been on with it for a while and I actually asked when he first made the move, but Paul now thinks it would be a good idea for him to come and play for us.

“I think it’s an excellent idea, because I have to look after Boothy [Andy Booth] and he hasn’t trained at all so far this week. Boothy is ‘Mr. Huddersfield’ and is a fantastic player but I do need cover for him and Liam becoming available is ideal for us.

“Paul knows I’ll look after him and I’ll teach him; I appreciate the favour. Liam is a £750,000 footballer and he’ll certainly go on to be a very, very good player. He’s still only relatively young and this is a step up from his experiences with Stockport in League Two, so it’s a good challenge for him. We’ll make him very welcome here as we have a fantastic set of lads and it can only be good for us.

“The move is for one month, but obviously I would like to keep him for longer than that because he’s a proven goalscorer and he’ll do well for us. However, his club is Derby; we’ll have to see what happens - if Liam and Paul are up for it, we could extend it. One step at a time.”

Striker John Sutton has left Wycombe Wanderers by mutual consent and joined Motherwell on a three-year contract.

The 24-year-old former Raith Rovers and St. Mirren player told his new club’s official website: “I am looking forward to getting back playing in the SPL.

“I’ve always enjoyed my spells in Scotland and have usually done not too bad. The teams I’ve played with have always tried to play good football and Motherwell are no different. The SPL is a great league with every week being a real test.

“Europe is also massive for us - as I understand it, if we win one tie we’ll be in the group stages and could play against some massive clubs so I am really looking forward to that. Motherwell, to a certain extent, were the surprise team last year and to finish third was a hell of an achievement. I want to come here, score goals, and help us get there again.”
