Milton Keynes Dons have completed the signing of defender Elijah Campbell from Everton, having already added midfielder Ibrahim Fullah from Charlton Athletic on transfer deadline day.

Campbell, 22, has been with Everton since 2017 and made his debut in an FA Cup tie against Sunderland in January of this year.

The centre-half has previously had loan spells with Fleetwood Town, Ross County and, last season, Port Vale, and will now be granted an opportunity to impress in League One with the newly promoted Dons.

Boss Paul Warne said: "With Eli, we needed a left-footed centre-half, wing-back and left-back - someone that could cover those positions. So he's coming in on loan to compete in all of those positions really.

"He's athletic and has, as they all seem to have, a really nice left foot, and is technically a really good player, so he comes with some good recommendations.

"I know he was at Port Vale last year on loan and did really well. He's another young player and he's been welcomed into the club today."

Fullah signed a new contract with parent club Charlton Athletic before his loan switch to Stadium: MK was confirmed.

The 19-year-old made 14 senior appearances for Charlton in 2025-26 and scored his first two goals for the London club in League Cup ties against Stevenage and Cambridge United. He has not previously had a loan spell elsewhere.

"The key for Ibrahim now is to get exposure to regular first-team football and continue his development in a competitive environment," said Dons sporting director Liam Sweeting.

On his new contract, Fullah told the Charlton website: "It's another step in the right direction and I just can't wait to kick on."

Both clubs are in action on Wednesday evening, with Charlton away to West Brom in the Championship and MK Dons travelling to Wigan in League One.
