Crewe Alexandra have made two loan signings from Premier League clubs.
Brighton keeper James Beadle and Southampton midfielder Ryan Finnigan have both joined the League Two club for the rest of the season.
Finnigan, 19, who is yet to make his league debut, has made one first-team appearance - as a late substitute in the Saints' 2-0 FA Cup third round win over Shrewsbury two years ago.
England Under-19 international Beadle, 18, is yet to make his debut.
But he signed a new three-and-a-half year contract with the Premier League club earlier this week.
James Beadle signed for Brighton from Charlton for an undisclosed fee in January 2022

Beadle only joined the Seagulls for an undisclosed fee in January 2022 after coming through the academy with Charlton Athletic.
Both are expected to go straight into the Crewe squad to face Stockport County on Saturday.
The Alex are 17th in League Two, 11 points clear of trouble and 10 shy of a play-off place.
After suffering three straight defeats following the confirmation of Lee Bell's appointment as boss, they have turned the corner since the start of 2023 with a win and two draws.
Crewe Alexandra have made their fifth January window signing by bringing in Stevenage's former Liverpool and Port Vale striker David Amoo.
The much-travelled 31-year-old has signed on a short-term deal until the end of the season.
Crewe, 17th in League Two, are at home to Stockport County on Saturday.
Amoo and fellow new signings James Beadle and Ryan Finnigan will all be in contention to make their Alex debut for Lee Bell's side.
Amoo began his professional career with Liverpool on 1 July, 2010, the same day Roy Hodgson was appointed manager at Anfield.
After Kenny Dalglish took charge the following January, he then made three loan moves to Milton Keynes Dons, Hull City and Bury in the space for 12 months before being signed by Graham Westley at Preston in July 2012.
He has since made moves to Preston North End, Tranmere Rovers, Carlisle United, Partick Thistle, Cambridge United, John Askey's Vale and to Stevenage when Steve Evans signed him last summer.
Amoo was part of the Vale side that won promotion from League Two last season, scoring twice in 27 appearances, mostly from the bench.
