Leyton Orient could involve two Premier League loan signings against Carlisle United.

The Os, on transfer deadline day, brought in Khayon Edwards from Arsenal and Dan Adu-Adjei from AFC Bournemouth.

The duo bolstered Richie Wellens' squad in the final hours of the winter window.

Edwards, 20, has impressed in Arsenal's Under-21s and said of the move to east London: “I'm really excited to be joining Leyton Orient.

"I know that the club were promoted last season and have had a good first half to this season. I'm really excited about making the step up to senior football.

"I hope that I can come in, get my chance and help the club to have a strong second half of the season by scoring some goals."

Fellow striker Adu-Adeji, 18, has come through Bournemouth's academy ranks after spells with Fulham and Brentford.

"I’m over the moon to have signed for Leyton Orient. The club seems to have a real feel-good factor about it looking from the outside in and I think that it is a perfect club for me to continue my development at," he told the club website.

Their arrivals took Orient's January signings tally to four after the earlier arrivals of Brandon Cooper and Ollie O’Neill.

Two deadline-day departures at the Gaughan Group Stadium, meanwhile, included striker Aaron Drinan - who scored in November's FA Cup win over Carlisle - moving to Swindon Town on a permanent deal.

Defender Ed Turns was recalled from his Orient loan by Brighton & Hove Albion, Turns going on to make a loan switch to Crewe Alexandra in League Two.

The moves came at a club who are in fine form in League One with Orient having won four and drawn two of their last six unbeaten games.

Wellens' team, last season's League One champions, sit tenth in the table ahead of Carlisle's visit.
