Conor Gallagher was attracting interest from Spurs but that move is off the table, though Tottenham have at least signed Brennan Johnson for £45million.

Manchester United have landed Sergio Reguilon from Tottenham and late in the day confirmed the signing of Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat on loan. Mason Greenwood has joined LaLiga club Getafe on loan. Follow all the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip live on deadline day below!

00:02 , Marc Mayo

Fulham made the call to sign AC Milan defender Fode Ballo-Toure on loan without an option to buy just nine minutes before the transfer deadline, writes Nizaar Kinsella...

The full-back should still arrive from AC Milan on loan with an option to buy.

Hugo Ekitike to Crystal Palace collapses

23:46 , Marc Mayo

Sky Sports report on Hugo Ekitike staying put at PSG despite his desire to sign for Crystal Palace.

The French striker wanted to make a loan move to Selhurst Park, with West Ham also interested.

However, Ekitike was told he had to make a permanent move amid offers from Zenit St Petersburg and Eintract Frankfurt, who have just sold Randal Kolo Muani to PSG.

Les Parisiens have reportedly told the player he won’t play another minute for them!

Maupay back at Brentford!

23:18 , Matt Verri

Neal Maupay has sealed a season-long loan move to Brentford.

The forward has struggled to impress at Everton, but now returns to a club where he enjoyed the best two goalscoring seasons of his career.

Can he refind some form?

Crazy numbers!

23:13 , Matt Verri

Greenwood joins Getafe on loan

23:09 , Matt Verri

LaLiga club Getafe have signed Mason Greenwood on loan from Manchester United.

The former England striker is set for a return to football 18 months after being suspended by United amid allegations of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault.

The Crown Prosecutive Service ended its own case in February of this year following the “withdrawal of key witnesses”, and United confirmed it would conduct its own investigation.

Last month, the Premier League club revealed that Greenwood’s future would lie away from Old Trafford despite a statement outlining their belief that the 21-year-old “did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged”.

The player has Madrid-based side Getafe until the end of the season on loan. He still has two years left to run on his United contract.

A United statement on the move read: “The move enables Greenwood to begin to rebuild his career away from Manchester United.

“The club will continue to offer its support to Mason and his family during this period of transition.”

Spurs seal £45m deal

23:05 , Matt Verri

Tottenham have signed Brennan Johnson on transfer deadline day after agreeing a £45million deal with Nottingham Forest.

The Wales international, who travelled down from Forest’s training ground to London for a medical on Friday, becomes the seventh signing of the Ange Postecoglou era at Spurs.

Tottenham had been locked in talks with Forest over the forward, after interest from Chelsea waned following their capture of Cole Palmer from Manchester City. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis led discussions and an agreement was reached on deadline day.

Fulham secure more time for Iwobi

23:02 , Matt Verri

Fulham have submitted a deal sheet for the £20million transfer of Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

The Nigeria international has already completed his medical and we await confirmation beyond the 11pm deadline.

Tottenham have their man!

Confirmation of Holding to Palace!

22:58 , Matt Verri

Moyes on West Ham business

22:57 , Matt Verri

David Moyes has been asked after West Ham’s win over Luton about the possibility of any late transfer activity.

“I’ll need to see what’s on my phone and see if there’s anything there,” he said.

That would be a no then.

Holding seals Palace move

22:53 , Matt Verri

Rob Holding has completed his move to Crystal Palace from Arsenal.

The Athletic report that the deal is now done, with Palace paying the Gunners an initial £1m with a possible £2.5m in add-ons.

Holding has signed a three-year deal in time for him to face Wolves on Sunday.

Done deal!

22:48 , Matt Verri

The deals are flying in now.

It’s another loan deal, as Eric Garcia leaves Barcelona to join Girona for the rest of the season.

The former Man City defender was linked with a move to Arsenal, but Garcia will remain in Spain.

Sarr made to wait

22:44 , Matt Verri

Chelsea defender Malang Sarr hasn’t found a move away before transfer deadline day, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

The 24-year-old has struggled to find a move due to his £100,000-a-week wages and difficult loan spells at Monaco and Porto.

Sarr can still move to any of Turkey, Belgium, Czech Republic, Greece, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia where transfer windows remain open beyond the 11pm deadline tonight.

Lyon move for Moreira

22:40 , Matt Verri

Chelsea winger Diego Moreira has joined Lyon on a season-long loan deal, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

The 19-year-old made his Chelsea debut in the 2-1 win over AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday but joins the French giants in a surprise move.

Mauricio Pochettino had a good look at Moreira during his pre-season tour of the United States but has decided the youngster is better off gaining experience elsewhere after his free transfer move from Benfica.

Moreira takes up the final international loan spot meaning new signing Deivid Washington, who joined in a £17million deal from Santos last week, will likely stay.

The 18-year-old striker was expected to join Chelsea’s partner club RC Strasbourg.

Big boost for Man United

22:36 , Matt Verri

Manchester United have bolstered their midfield with the addition of Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.

United confirmed the deal for the 27-year-old late on transfer deadline day, which is thought to be an initial loan from Fiorentina with an option to buy.

Erik ten Hag had long identified Amrabat – who he managed between 2015 and 2017 at Dutch club Utrecht – as a priority midfield target, to add support and backup to Casemiro. The player was always keen on the move.

United sold Fred to Fenerbahce earlier in the summer, with Amrabat now joining Casemiro, Scott McTominay – who is expected to stay at the club amid interest from Fulham – and fellow summer signing Mason Mount in Ten Hag’s revamped midfield at Old Trafford.

With the deal having been completed after midday on deadline day, Amrabat will not be available for United’s weekend Premier League clash at Arsenal.

Done deal!

22:32 , Matt Verri

Albert Sambi Lokonga has joined Luton on a season-long loan.

Minimal effort with the social media work from the Hatters as they announce the arrival of the Arsenal midfielder...

Man United confirm Amrabat!

22:30 , Matt Verri

Johnson announcement to come...

22:26 , Matt Verri

Brennan Johnson’s move to Tottenham now appears to be done.

It’s believed that the 22-year-old has now signed his contract after completing a medical, with the official announcement of the £45m move from Nottingham Forest to come very shortly.

Job done for Spurs!

Greenwood set for Getafe move

22:21 , Matt Verri

Getafe are increasingly confident of sealing a loan move for Mason Greenwood.

The Athletic report that the Spanish side are close to reaching an agreement with Manchester United and are currently finalising the paperwork ahead of the window closing tonight.

Lazio had been keen themselves and were in talks earlier today, but could no reach a deal before the Serie A deadline.

Felix reacts to Barcelona move!

Maatsen to remain at Stamford Bridge

22:11 , Matt Verri

Ian Maatsen is now set to stay at Chelsea, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

The Blues will have a 26-man squad this season. Pochettino said 22-23 was optimum, but not an issue until players come back.

Maybe it is nearly January anyway by the time some return.

Done deal!

22:08 , Matt Verri

Gravenberch shirt number explained

22:01 , Matt Verri

Ryan Gravenberch’s Liverpool shirt number has been confirmed after he completed a £34million transfer from Bayern Munich.

Ajax academy graduate Gravenberch will don the No38 shirt an Anfield.

Traditional midfield options No14, No15 and No16 were also up for grabs and there was a big gap between No22 and No 31 - last worn by Raheem Sterling - that only Andy Robertson occupies at No26.

However, a sentimental option was also there for Gravenberch. He wore the No38 shirt during his early days in the Ajax first-team and took that number at Bayern too, with his more regular Ajax No8 not available at either Munich or Anfield.

More on that here!

Lloris considers Nice move

21:53 , Matt Verri

Nice have offered Hugo Lloris a contract, with the Frenchman considering his options.

Kasper Schmeichel’s contract at the Ligue 1 side was terminated earlier today, and they are now eyeing the Spurs goalkeeper as a replacement.

The move would be a free transfer as Spurs are keen on securing a move for Lloris - one to watch!

West Ham unable to reach Edwards deal

21:49 , Matt Verri

Ronnie Edwards will remain at Peterborough United for another few months after West Ham were unable agree a fee, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

The 20-year-old stays at the League One club having also had an offer from Swansea City in the Championship.

Done deal!

21:45 , Matt Verri

Liverpool have completed the transfer deadline day acquisition of Ryan Gravenberch.

The Dutch midfielder joins from Bayern Munich for a reported fee of £34.2million, a year after joining the German giants for £15m from Ajax.

There had been late fears that Bayern would pull the plug on the deal after their bid for Fulham’s Joao Palhinha collapsed, with the Portuguese star eyed as Gravenberch’s replacement.

Alas, Liverpool were still able to complete the deal after the 21-year-old completed a medical on Friday afternoon.

Click here for more on that!

Here comes the Gravenberch announcement...

21:43 , Matt Verri

Monaco fail to match Adarabioyo valuation

21:42 , Matt Verri

Tosin Adarabioyo is set to remain at Fulham despite Monaco’s interest in a deadline day deal, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

Fulham rejected an £8million bid last week and demanded £13m, but the Ligue 1 club didn’t make a suitable offer.

Johnson completes medical at Spurs

21:39 , Matt Verri

Brennan Johnson has now completed his Tottenham medical.

That’s according to Sky Sports, with his £45m move from Nottingham Forest now on the verge of being made official.

Spurs are finally set to get their man.

Chelsea outgoings unlikely

21:31 , Matt Verri

Trevoh Chalobah is expected to remain at Stamford Bridge despite links to Tottenham, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

Chelsea are set to remain as, despite Spurs’ approach for Conor Gallagher and Burnley having a bid accepted for Ian Maatsen.

Marc Cucurella was also available on deadline day but didn’t attract any known offers.

No West Ham move for Ekitike

21:26 , Matt Verri

Some reports out of France that West Ham submitted something of a Hail Mary offer for Hugo Ekitike late in the day are being denied by the club, writes Malik Ouzia.

They say things never advanced beyond talks today. Either way, the Hammers won’t be signing the forward tonight.

Done deal!

21:20 , Matt Verri

Joao Felix is officially a Barcelona player!

He has joined on a season-long loan deal from Atletico Madrid, where he has extended his contract through to 2029. Of course.

Palace move on from Guaita

21:18 , Matt Verri

Crystal Palace have terminated Vicente Guaita’s contract to allow him to join Celta Vigo on a free transfer, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

The 36-year-old goalkeeper has spent five years in south London but leaves after falling out with manager Roy Hodgson.

Sam Johnstone will remain the club’s No1 option and Dean Henderson has been brought in from Manchester United as competition.

Guaita returns to his native Spain where he will play under former Liverpool and Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez.

He leaves after 154 games for Palace, during some of the best years in the club’s recent history.

Lloris will not join Newcastle

21:14 , Matt Verri

There are conflicting reports emerging from Tottenham and Newcastle over the Magpies’ reported interest in Hugo Lloris, writes Dan Kilpatrick.

Spurs believe the Frenchman has turned down a loan offer from St. James’ Park but sources at Newcastle insist the stories are wide of the mark.

Either way, Lloris will not be moving to the north east but there is some hope at Spurs that his hometown club Nice may make an eleventh-hour move after releasing their own veteran goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel.

Spurs could decide to cancel the final year of Lloris’ contract but, with just under two hours of the window to go, that is very much considered a last resort.

Sanchez unlikely to get Spurs exit

21:08 , Matt Verri

Davinson Sanchez is another player expected to remain at Tottenham after the deadline, writes Dan Kilpatrick.

As it stands, he is with the squad in Burnley preparing for tomorrow’s match after interest from French club Rennes and PSV Eindhoven apparently came to nothing.

Spurs are not giving up on offloading Tanguy Ndombele, although a move to a European club is now all but over.

The Saudi and Turkish remain open, which gives Spurs hope of shifting the Frenchman at a later date. Ndombele turned down interest from Galatasaray and Fenerbahce earlier this month but it remains to be seen if he will have a change of heart once all other options are exhausted.

Forest to sign Omobamidele

21:04 , Matt Verri

Nottingham Forest have reached an agreement with Norwich for Andrew Omobamidele.

Trevoh Chalobah was on Forest’s wishlist as they look to strengthen at the back, but the Chelsea defender is yet to be convinced about the move and so they have looked elsewhere.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Norwich have accepted their approach for Omobamidele, with a medical to take place imminently.

Sorensen secures Midtjylland move

20:57 , Matt Verri

Mads Bech Sorensen has left Brentford to join Danish side Midtjylland on a four-year permanent deal, writes Dom Smith.

He was looking for more game time this season after only ever being a squad player for the Bees.

Barcelona set to seal Cancelo signing

20:53 , Matt Verri

Arsenal were linked with a shock move for Joao Cancelo earlier today, but that feint hope is now over.

Sky Sports report that Barcelona are expecting to complete a loan move for the Man City full-back, with no obligation to make it permanent next summer.

Arsenal hold out Pepe hope

20:48 , Matt Verri

Arsenal are not expected to offload Nicolas Pepe or Cedric tonight.

The Gunners remain keen on selling the duo, who are not in Mikel Arteta’s plans, but that will not happen before the 11pm deadline.

Football.London claim that the club still have hope of selling Pepe though, with Saudi Arabian clubs having until September 7 before their window shuts.

Lloris to Newcastle?

20:38 , Matt Verri

Newcastle have made a surprise move for Hugo Lloris late in the day.

The Spurs goalkeeper has been looking for a move all summer, but the club have so far been unable to find a buyer.

That could change now though, with The Times reporting that Newcastle have approached Spurs to discuss the possibility of a season-long loan deal for Lloris.

Spurs turn to Chalobah

20:31 , Matt Verri

Well then...

Tottenham have reportedly approached Chelsea over a possible loan deal for Trevoh Chalobah.

That’s according to Fabrizio Romano, with it claimed that contact has been made but the rivalry between the clubs will make an agreement difficult to reach.

Nottingham Forest meanwhile remain keen on a permanent move for Chalobah, but the player is not convinced about that move.

Dan Kilpatrick on Hojbjerg situation

20:26 , Matt Verri

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg turned down interest from Fulham and Spurs could not agree a deal with Atletico Madrid, who were exploring a last-minute loan move for the midfielder.

Spurs wanted to include an obligation to buy Hojbjerg, who has two years remaining on his contract, but Atleti could not come up with a suitable package.

Hojbjerg is now set to stay at Spurs, and is expected to return to the bench for Saturday’s Premier League game at Burnley.

Fulham set to keep hold of Reed

20:19 , Matt Verri

Harrison Reed is looking likely to stay at Fulham after Wolves had a bid rejected and further talks today proved unable to find an agreement, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

Everton have also shown an interest in the midfielder, who could renew terms at Craven Cottage after the transfer window closes.

He has entered the final 12 months of his current deal, which expires next summer.

Amrabat announcement imminent

20:13 , Matt Verri

Sofyan Amrabat has completed his Manchester United medical.

That’s according to Sky Sports, with it reported that the checks, which took place earlier today in Italy, are now done.

An official announcement is expected soon, with United paying Fiorentina an £8m loan fee with the option to make the deal permanent next summer.

Spurs moves off the cards

20:04 , Matt Verri

Tottenham will not be making late moves for Lloyd Kelly or Conor Gallagher, writes Dan Kilpatrick.

Spurs were interested in Chelsea midfielder Gallagher, but the fact Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will now remain at the club has hindered that deal.

Bournemouth centre-back Kelly was also linked with a deadline-day move, but the Cherries are reluctant to sell.

Wait goes on at Tottenham...

19:59 , Matt Verri

Brennan Johnson is currently doing his medical at Spurs, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

All the agreements are in place, so it is just about getting it over the line before the transfer deadline at 11pm.

Girona win Garcia race

19:54 , Matt Verri

These clubs can’t get enough of loans today...

Eric Garcia has been linked with a move to Arsenal, but the centre-back is set to make the move to Girona.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Barcelona have agreed a season-long deal, with documents expected to be signed shortly.

Barcelona close in on double deal

19:44 , Matt Verri

Barcelona are expected to complete moves for Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix this evening.

Journalist Gerard Romero reports that the pair have met their new team-mates and both are expected to officially become Barcelona players in the next few hours.

It’s believed that the deals are both loan moves with no option to buy.

“Delighted to be here"

19:32 , Matt Verri

Good news for Luton...

19:27 , Matt Verri

Luton Town have agreed a season-long loan deal for Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

It’s unclear at this stage whether there is an option to buy for the 23-year-old, but he gives the newly-promoted Premier League minnows a boost on transfer deadline day.

Carragher questions Gravenberch deal

19:20 , Matt Verri

Liverpool are expected to announce the signing of Ryan Gravenberch later this evening, but Jamie Carragher is not convinced he will be the answer to their defensive midfield issues.

“It’s interesting where he is going to fit in because I don’t think he’s necessarily this defensive midfield player that I think Liverpool still need, even though they have brought a player in from Germany,” Carragher said.

“I think he’s more of a No 8, he’s box-to-box, he gets forward - and I think that’s why Bayern got rid of him, because Thomas Tuchel didn’t want to play him in that position.

“He’s a player Jurgen Klopp and the club wanted 12-18 months ago and I’m interested to see where he fits in and if Klopp thinks he’s going to be that defensive midfield player.”

Time up for Italian clubs!

19:07 , Matt Verri

The Italian transfer window has now shut.

That means Mason Greenwood will not be making a move to Serie A, despite Lazio’s attempts to sign him this evening.

Di Marzio reports that they were still pushing for the Manchester United forward into the final minutes of the window, but ran out of time.

Lokonga to make Luton move

18:59 , Matt Verri

Albert Sambi Lokonga has now agreed his season-long loan move to Luton.

The Mail report that the Arsenal midfielder has now completed the switch to the newly-promoted side, with Lokonga not in Mikel Arteta’s plans in north London.

The Belgian spent the second half of last season on loan at Crystal Palace, but was unable to make an impression.

PSG unhappy with Ekitike

18:55 , Matt Verri

PSG are reportedly angry with Hugo Ekitike, who they claim is trying to move to Crystal Palace behind their back.

The Eagles have made a loan offer for the striker, with a £26m option to buy next summer, though PSG preferred to sell him to Eintracht Frankfurt as they try and sign Randal Kolo Muani.

According to The Telegraph, PSG have not given Ekitike permission to speak to Palace and feel the forward’s agent has been trying to agree a deal without them. Palace want a loan, but PSG prefer a permanent sale.

Dier expected to stay at Spurs

18:46 , Matt Verri

Some more Tottenham news for you.

Eric Dier is set to stay at the club, with The Athletic reporting that he is now likely to leave on a free transfer next summer.

The centre-back was mentioned in talks with Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, linked with Spurs’ interest in Brennan Johnson and Lloyd Kelly, but Dier wants a move abroad in 12 months’ time.

Hojbjerg and Gallagher doubts grow...

18:38 , Matt Verri

Doubts are beginning to grow about Tottenham’s interest in Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s potential move to Fulham or Atletico Madrid is looking less and less likely too, as the player has been unable to agree terms with either club.

Of course, all three players were in a transfer chain with Joao Palhinha who saw a £60million transfer to Bayern Munich collapse despite him flying to Germany to complete a medical.

Gallagher isn’t pushing for a move but Chelsea could be tempted to cash in at the right price.

Trevoh Chalobah is also very likely to stay at Chelsea after his loan move to Munich collapsed.

Carragher: Why have Al-Ittihad left it so long for Salah?

18:34 , Matt Verri

Jamie Carragher has questioned Al-Ittihad taking so long to make their move for Mohamed Salah, believing they have left themselves an impossible task on deadline day.

The Saudi side are believed to be prepared to go to £200m for Salah, but Liverpool continue to insist he is not for sale.

“For Liverpool to sell now, they’re not going to want what he’s worth,” Carragher told Sky Sports.

“They’ll want well more than that. Is he worth £150m if there’s no Saudi Arabia situation at the moment? Of course he isn’t.

“Why have they left it so late? If they wanted him so badly, why wouldn’t they make this bid six weeks ago?”

Hudson-Odoi explains Forest move

18:25 , Matt Verri

“It’s massive for me to be here and I can’t wait to get started,” Callum Hudson-Odoi told Forest’s official website after being given the No14 shirt.

“It’s a new chapter for me. I know a couple of the boys already which was a big thing for me, and I obviously know the manager well, so it’s nice to be here and see familiar faces around.

“Forest are a big club which won two massive trophies in its history and I’m really excited to play at The City Ground. I know all about the atmosphere having watched a couple of times and I can’t wait to get playing in front of the Forest fans.”

Sanchez future up in the air

18:17 , Matt Verri

PSV Eindhoven remain hopeful of signing Davinson Sanchez in the final hours of the transfer window.

Voetbal International claim that the Dutch side have booked a medical for the centre-back, so they are ready in case an agreement can be reached with Tottenham.

It’s been suggested that Spurs are holding out for a fee in the region of £12m.

Johnson undergoes Spurs medical

18:11 , Matt Verri

Brennan Johnson is close to completing his move to Tottenham.

The forward is currently at Hotspur Way, undergoing a medical as he closes in on a £47.5million transfer from Nottingham Forest.

Official confirmation of that one to come later this evening...

Done deal: Hudson-Odoi to Forest

18:02 , Dominic Booth

Callum Hudson-Odoi’s move to Nottingham Forest is now done.

He has been at the training ground doing his medical but needed a final details tying up around his Chelsea exit before it could be announced. He leaves his boyhood club of 15 years for a £5million fee plus a sell-on clause.

Dom Smith on Palhinha’s failed Bayern switch

17:56 , Dominic Booth

It is a major boost for Fulham that they have been able to hold on to Joao Palhinha. He flew to Munich today for his medical, but his move to Bayern always depended on Fulham finding a replacement.

There was interest in McTominay and an approach about Hojbjerg but no official bid for either player. Neither was convinced it was a move that suited them perfectly. Bayern pushed hard to get the Palhinha deal done, but Fulham rejected a “massive” bid and get to keep their man as a result.

What a boost. In a post-Mitrovic world, the Cottagers’ most important and best player by far.

Done deal: Evans to Man United

17:47 , Dominic Booth

It looks as if Manchester United are going to confirm four incomings on deadline day, with Jonny Evans’ free transfer now confirmed as he signs a one-year deal.

Bayindir and Reguilion are already through the door, with Sofyan Amrabat the missing piece of the puzzle.

Barcelona to beat Arsenal in Cancelo race

17:40 , Dominic Booth

Arsenal have reportedly explored a deadline day move for Joao Cancelo, but it seems he is Barca-bound.

Reports suggest the Manchester City full back only had one club in mind as his destination this summer. He’s expected to sign for Barcelona in a double deal with Joao Felix.

Done deal: Burstow to Sunderland on loan

17:38 , Dominic Booth

Chelsea striker Mason Burstow had interest from both AC Milan, Werder Bremen and other clubs in Europe before accepting a move to Sunderland.

The 20-year-old was happy to move to the North East as he seeks homegrown status to improve his chances of making it at Stamford Bridge.

Burstow was signed from Charlton for £1.25million in January 2022 and is highly regarded by Mauricio Pochettino after excellent performances in training against his star-studded squad.

Gravenberch deal on course despite twist

17:31 , Dominic Booth

Reports suggest Liverpool’s move for Ryan Gravenberch should not be affected by Bayern’s failed Palhinha bid.

It’s said the Gravenberch deal is expected to go ahead as planned, to bolster Klopp’s midfield.

Saudi club to launch new Salah bid

17:25 , Dominic Booth

Al-Ittihad have shrugged off Jurgen Klopp’s warning by formulating a £200million bid for Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, according to reports.

The Mail say the Saudi Arabian club are willing to make the Egyptian winger the most expensive footballer in history - and won’t let up until their transfer window shuts next Thursday.

No Bayern move for Chalobah

17:21 , Dominic Booth

Another Bayern Munich move for a Premier League player that isn’t happening... Trevor Chalobah.

Palhinha to Bayern off

17:17 , Dominic Booth

Joao Palhinha’s move to Bayern Munich has collapsed, Nizaar Kinsella reports.

Disappointment for the player who was in Germany completing a medical before the German transfer window closed at 5pm, but it solves a lot of problems for Fulham. Their star remains.

Bergstom to leave on loan

17:13 , Dominic Booth

Chelsea goalkeeper Lucas Bergstom is expected to go out on loan but it may not be until after the Premier League transfer window closes, Nizaar Kinsella reports. He will likely join a club in one of the leagues which continues to do transfers beyond September 1. Eddie Beach will stay as the Under-21s goalkeeper.

Done deal: Dominguez to Forest

17:08 , Dominic Booth

Another one through the door at the City Ground.

Postecoglou message to Spurs fringe stars

17:03 , Dominic Booth

There’s been lots of talk that Spurs are keen to jettison players today, an issue Postecoglou addressed in his press conference today:

“No-one’s not been integrated, no-one hasn’t been training with the team. I’m not isolating anyone at the moment.

“Players have got their own reasons for making these decisions but ultimately, come the deadline, we’re going to have to name a 25-man list and we’ve got more than that at the moment, so some people are going to miss out. It’s up to them to decide the next step.

“From my perspective, we haven’t excluded anyone from training. The numbers in training are manageable right now and while they’re manageable I don’t see the need to do anything different.”

West Ham exits latest

16:50 , Dominic Booth

Still all quiet on the West Ham front at the moment, Malik Ouzia reports.

It won’t be too long before we start to get team news through from their game at Luton tonight, where any involvement at all for the likes of Maxwel Cornet and Pablo Fornals would, you assume, rule out the chance of a late exit.

Nizaar Kinsella reports

16:46 , Dominic Booth

Chelsea forward Louis Flower has joined Brighton in an academy team switch. He was a regular for the Under-18s last season and played for the Under-21s but, with Chelsea having strengthened their youth teams, has been allowed to leave for a nominal fee.

Sangare to Forest

16:29 , Dominic Booth

There’s an incoming deal at the City Ground.

Dom Smith on Holding to Palace

Crystal Palace’s imminent signing of Rob Holding feels like a sensible move from the Eagles. The £4million fee is certainly an affordable one, and Palace were in need of bolstering their options in central defence.

The performances over the last year of Marc Guehi and Joachim Andersen were masking a need to add depth in central defence. Veteran James Tomkins is the only other central defender at the club.

When they were promoted back to the Premier League a decade ago, Palace had five experienced centre-backs in their ranks. Holding adds much-needed back-up.

Reguilon could make debut vs Arsenal

16:12 , Dominic Booth

Having been strongly linked with Marc Cucurella, it is Sergio Reguilon who makes the move to Manchester United on a season-long loan deal – and it’s likely he could be thrown straight in against Arsenal on Sunday.

This is what he told the United official website:

“In life you have to be ready for everything and the chance to represent this great club with such an illustrious history is one that I could not turn down.

“Having spoken to the manager, I know what he needs from me, and I am ready to play my part in helping the team to achieve success.”

Hojbjerg turning down moves

16:01 , Dominic Booth

According to widespread reports, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is set to reject a move to Atletico Madrid from Tottenham. As Standard Sport reported earlier, he does not want to be Joao Palhinha’s replacement at Fulham either. It may leave the Danish international in limbo at Spurs, having been on the periphery of Ange Postecoglou’s plans so far.

Time is running out for Trevor Chalobah to join Bayern Munich, amid a loan proposal from Thomas Tuchel’s side. The German champions may instead look to explore a deal for Armel Bella-Kotchap. The Bundesliga window closes at 5pm UK time.

Chelsea accept Burnley bid for Maatsen

15:32 , Dominic Booth

Chelsea have accepted an initial loan with obligation worth £31.5million from Burnley for defender Ian Maatsen.

The 21-year-old is reluctant to accept the move to his former loan club having made three appearances under Mauricio Pochettino this season.

Maatsen was more open to a move to West Ham but they have cooled their approach, with Aaron Cresswell now expected to stay.

He may yet choose to move on deadline day with competition from Marc Cucurella remaining after his loan move to Manchester United collapsed yesterday.

Maatsen also has renewed competition from new £40million signing Cole Palmer as he has played out of position in the front four under Pochettino.

As first revealed by Standard Sport, Chelsea want Maatsen to sign a new deal if he chooses to stay in west London.

Two Chelsea youngsters heading on loan

Nizaar Kinsella reports here:

Chelsea defender Bashir Humphreys is set to join Swansea City on a season-long loan. The 20-year-old has had the move lined up for nearly a month but Mauricio Pochettino gave serious consideration to keeping him in his squad.

However, with players like Reece James soon returning from injury, it was deemed the best move for his development to send him on loan. Norwich City and Stoke City were both also keen on the defender, who has opted to join Michael Duff at the South Wales club.

And Chelsea striker Mason Burstow is set to join Sunderland on a season-long loan deal.

The 20-year-old makes the move after Chelsea added a further attacking option in Cole Palmer, signing him for £40million from Manchester City on deadline day. Burstow will continue his development in the Championship as he celebrates his first start for Chelsea in the 2-1 win over AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup.

Palace make approach for Ekitike

14:55 , Dominic Booth

Crystal Palace have made a loan offer with a £26million option to buy bid for PSG forward Hugo Ekitike, writes Nizaar Kinsella.

The Eagles are now considered frontrunners after Eintracht Frankfurt’s approach collapsed. West Ham are also interested but a stay at PSG isn’t discounted either at this stage.

‘Hint of panic about Bees swoop for Maupay'

14:44 , Dominic Booth

That move for Neal Maupay has a small hint of panic about it, writes Malik Ouzia, which is unusual for Brentford.

But I suppose a loan deal makes sense given the gap that needs plugging in terms of depth until Ivan Toney’s return. Mapuay is said to be very keen on the move, which is hardly surprising given Everton’s start to the season. You could argue that the Frenchman’s career has been on a gradual, and then steep, decline ever since he left Griffin Park.
