Gateshead have signed Leicester City forward Kian Pennant on a one-month loan deal.

The 21-year-old has been a regular in the Foxes' age-group sides and has played in the EFL Trophy, but this is the first loan move of his career.

The Heed have also signed Cheltenham Town defender Ibrahim Bakare on a loan deal running until early January 2026.

Bakare has made 35 senior appearances for Cheltenham since joining in the summer of 2024.
