Harry Redknapp says he is hoping to sign some more players on transfer deadline day at Birmingham

The transfer window may be closing, but Harry Redknapp's car window was just opening as Deadline Day began on Thursday.

Birmingham City have already been active as the clock ticks down, with the club agreeing a £6m fee for Brentford winger Jota, according to Sky sources.

The business at St Andrew's may not be done there, though, as the former West Ham and Tottenham manager revealed there could be more comings and goings in the West Midlands - despite Redknapp already having been backed by Birmingham's board with 10 signings in the summer window.

"We've been busy," Redknapp told Sky Sports News as he drove into Birmingham's Wast Hills training ground.

"I've had great support from the owners. They're ambitious, want to build a team here that the people of Birmingham can be proud of.

"We've brought some good young players in, good loans, I think we'll see a different Birmingham team after the window.

"I don't think we'll be that busy today. There's still one or two pieces that could happen. I've been pleased with what we've done so far.

"It's up to me to get on with it now and get results. No excuses, it's up to me now. I've had the backing. We've got most of the targets we were after in."
