EFL Analysis can name the side that has won the race to sign Dexter Lembikisa.

The right-back has been available for loan after being deemed surplus to requirements at Wolves.

Last season the Jamaica international spent the second half of the season on loan at Barnsley as they failed to secure promotion from League One to the Championship.
