As it happened: Transfer Deadline Day 2022 - Premier League/EFL updates, contracts and transfers

For more information, please check out VAVEL.com. For breaking news that isn't on there, Twitter is your friend. 

Once again, thanks for following along with this and enjoy the rest of your week. 

PS: You should get some sleep before work!

Jonny Bentley - Editor-in-Chief

A big thank you to everybody who filled in throughout the day. It has been a long slog!

As Editor-in-Chief, I have been popping in and out from the very start so it's only fitting that I bring this live to a conclusion. 

We have 4 minutes to go. Fabio Carvalho and Dele Alli still unannounced! 

Less than 10 minutes to go and we're also wrapping it up here at VAVEL. We'll keep you informed on anything that happens up until 22.59 but, after that, you're on your own! Well, Twitter will be able to help you along the way. 

 

I thought this one had already happened! Dan Burn has been set to join Newcastle United for a number of days now and the club have finally got the Brighton & Hove Albion man over the line. 

As Sir Alex Ferguson used to say, it's getting into "squeaky bum" territory right now. Lots of frantic scrambling around to try and get everything into place. 

Fabio Carvalho remains on the cards and Dele Alli seems all-but done. 

Perhaps Everton are waiting for the final minutes of the window, building the suspense. Alli has been busy completing his medical and supposedly putting pen to paper. We wait to see the official release of that information. 

The Charlton Athletic youngster has joined Chelsea in a very late Deadline Day deal.

Ryan Longman has finalised a permanent deal to Hull City,  making a late move from Brighton & Hove Albion. 

5. Watford - Amid the craziness of the past few weeks, the Hornets managed to acquire six new players. None of them have Premier League experience but Hassane Kamara could impress.

4. Liverpool - Luis Diaz was an excellent signing for Jurgen Klopp's attacking depth. Fabio Carvalho could be a smart deal for the future – if they can get it over the line.

3. Everton - They turned around their window today. Appointing Frank Lampard was a factor in helping the club acquire Donny van de Beek and  – probably  – Dele Alli. A high-energy end to the month. 

2. Aston Villa - The Lucas Digne capture for £25-million was a bargain and Philippe Coutinho on loan could be an inspired move. Calum Chambers provides defensive depth.

1. Newcastle United - They blew everyone around them out of the water with a big-money splurge. Kieran Trippier and Bruno Guimaraes were the stand-out buys.

 

 

We are finishing this live at 11pm so strap yourselves in, even though we have probably covered all the big bits!

Liverpool have been chasing Fabio Carvalho all day. They have finally agreed terms with Fulham. They now need a medical and personal terms completed in super-quick fashion. Just over an hour to go!

Fabrizio says it's done but we're still awaiting official confirmation from Everton! This looks set be the final big deal of the day. 

Dembele has been linked with several clubs but, in the end, he won't going anywhere for a little while. 

 

Looking like Burnley are done for the night. A big disappointment for fans who had grown hopeful following the Weghorst arrival. 

It seems like an age ago since Burnley announced Wout Weghorst. It's looking like that might be the final signing of the lot, though, with a move for Ross Barkley looking a little bit out of time. 

 

Lille centre back Sven Botman to Ziggo Sport: “I can confirm both Newcastle and AC Milan were concrete options this winter. Both were good options for me. I assume that I will take a good step in my career next summer”. 🇳🇱 #ACMilan #NUFC

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 31, 2022

Sven Botman was Newcastle's number one target at central defence, but Lille were unwavering in their stance on his near future.

The Dutch player has hinted that a move may be on the cards within the year, however. 

Just 120 minutes to get everything wrapped up. Obviously, there are certain deals that go over the deadline but the majority of the work has to be done before 11pm BST. After that, there's only time to dot the i's and cross the t's. 

Liverpool have been trying to sign the Fulham midfielder all day but they are struggling with the finer details. Carvalho would help with their midfield depth but it might have to be something they look towards in the summer.

We're absolutely delighted to welcome Kieffer Moore to #afcb ✍️

— AFC Bournemouth 🍒 (@afcbournemouth) January 31, 2022

Bournemouth have completed the signing of Cardiff City's Keiffer Moore, who has scored 25 goals in 66 games for The Bluebirds.

Moore pens a three-and-a-half year contract and becomes the third signing on a busy deadline day in Bournemouth. 

𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟: Auston Trusty is set to join @Arsenal this summer.

From your entire #Rapids96 family, congratulations @austheboss3!

— Colorado Rapids (@ColoradoRapids) January 31, 2022

Arsenal have completed their first bit of  January transfer business with the signing of  MLS star Auston Trusty. 

He will remain with Colorado Rapids on loan before joining up with the Gunners in July. 

Dele Alli medical with Everton still ongoing. Long one, yes - but no problem. Normal process. I’m told still the same: he’s going to join Everton. 🔵🤝 #EFC #DeadlineDay

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 31, 2022

Dele Alli's deal to Everton is edging closer to completion, deal is set to be concluded in the closing hours.

Aubameyang has been lauded as one of football's fiercest finishers for several years now, but has seen his career in London come to a halt despite scoring 92 goals in 163 games for Arsenal.

Arteta knows he needs a talisman to aid the pursuit of a return to the Champions League, but Auba has been ousted regardless. 

Whether Arsenal sign a new striker in the closing hours remains to be seen, but supporters of the club will certainly be anticipating a manoeuvre after seeing a number of outgoings.

Steve Bergwijn stays at Tottenham. Final decision has just been communicated also to player and agents. No way for Ajax late move. It’s definitely over. ❌⚪️ #THFC #Ajax

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 31, 2022

Ajax had appeared confident in their pursuit of Dutch winger Steven Bergwijn, but a deal has trailed off after issues over Spurs' £25m asking fee.

Bergwijn will remain in London and a firm part of Antonio Conte's plans.

Jesse Lingard will sure at Man United, final decision has been made. The plan was always that Jesse would stay - club convinced he will be an important player in second half of season. 🔴 #MUFC

Jesse’s expected to leave Man United as free agent at the end of the season. pic.twitter.com/KGDnXOI8Rt

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 31, 2022

Jesse Lingard will STAY at Manchester United. 

Newcastle had attempted to secure his services and emulate the success he had on loan at West Ham last season, but Reds boss Ralf Rangnick decided Lingard would have an important role yet to play.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's on-off move looks like it has swung back on. Barcelona's president, Joan Laporta, now sounds confident about wrapping up a solution. 

Dele Alli is still having his medical at Everton. He'll hope to have that done and dusted

Donny van de Beek has finally put pen to paper with Everton, securing his loan deal to Goodison Park.

 

There will be no Jesse Lingard, but the Geordies have secured another deadline day target(t).

 

 

Manchester United are understood to have blocked a deadline day move for Jesse Lingard.

We're another hour closer to that 11pm deadline...

Giovani Lo Celso looks set to join Bryan Gil in heading out of Spurs this evening.

 

Luton Town have confirmed the loan signing of Aston Villa goalkeeper, Jed Steer.

 

It looks as though Barca haven't given up on their man just yet.

 

Look away now Hammers fans, as it looks as though there is only one club in the race for Jesse Lingard.

 

Frank Lampard has wasted no time in bringing in the cavalry at Everton, with both Donny van de Beek and Dele Alli on course to be announced in the coming hours.

 

Spurs' Bryan Gil has joined Valencia on loan until the end of the season.

 

Jesse Lingard is understood to be pushing for a move away from Manchester United before the close of play, but will he get his move? 

 

It has yet to be officially confirmed, but the numbers behind Dele Alli's move to Everton are being reported:

 

One of the biggest Premier League moves of Deadline Day is taking place at Goodison Park, with Everton and Spurs close to a deal which would see Dele Alli join the Toffees on a permanent deal.

Here's a reminder of what Fabrizio Romano had to say regarding the deal earlier today:

 

 

There is just six hours remaining in the January transfer window, with plenty of business still to be done.

Stay tuned throughout the evening for all of the updates as we approach the 11pm deadline.

News and updates have slowed down slightly as Boris Johnson takes centre-stage in the House of Commons! If you want a break, switch that one on for a bit! It's coming towards an end (I think) so it might be a job for catch-up. 

 

 

 

Juventus have passed their best wishes over to Dejan Kulusevski ahead of his move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Dejan Kulusevski set to join Tottenham on an initial 18-month loan.

A fair bit has happened in the last hour or so...

- Everton and Tottenham have agreed on a deal that will see Dele Alli join The Toffees on a permanent deal. 

- Tottenham have signed Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus, while Tanguy Ndombele has re-joined Lyon on loan. 

- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's loan move to Barcelona is in serious doubt after the Catalan giants seemingly can't afford to pay his already significantly-reduced wage. 

- Newcastle United's potential deal for Hugo Ekitike is off after the forward decided he didn't want to leave Stade Reims. 

- Jesse Lingard is instead on the list of players The Magpies are trying to bring in during the late hours of this window. 

- In the Championship, Bournemouth have announced the signing of Nat Phillips from Liverpool while Todd Cantwell has had his medical ahead of a loan move from Norwich City. 

Official and confirmed. Rodrigo Bentancur joins Tottenham on a permanent deal, statement confirms. ⚪️🤝 #THFC

Juventus will receive €19m plus €6m add ons, as previously reported here. Boca Juniors will receive 30% of this deal. — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 31, 2022

Rodrigo Bentancur has joined Tottenham Hotspur on a permanent deal.

It comes after Tanguy Ndombele joins Lyon on loan from Spurs earlier on today.  

We're thrilled to announce the signing of Nat Phillips on loan until the end of the season 🤝 — AFC Bournemouth 🍒 (@afcbournemouth) January 31, 2022

Another incoming at Bournemouth.

And they are not quite done - deals for Peterborough's Siriki Dembele and Cardiff City's Kieffer Moore are still in the works with Todd Cantwell expected to be announced anytime soon. 

Hugo Ekitike will NOT join Newcastle. Final communication just arrived to club directors. He prefers to stay at Reims until the end of the season. ❌ #NUFC

Newcastle were also not happy with sell on clause for future 30% to Reims. — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 31, 2022

Newcastle United have failed in their pursuit for Hugo Ekitike.

Talks continue with Manchester United for Jesse Lingard.

More EFL news now, and it is from Nottingham Forest.

Todd Cantwell has passed his #afcb medical.

Just the paperwork to be completed… — Mark McAdam (@markmcadamtv) January 31, 2022

Some Bournemouth news here. 

After Freddie Woodman came in to the Vitality Stadium earlier on, Todd Cantwell is set to join on loan from Norwich City.

Announcement will be soon, and expect more from The Cherries later this evening.

Oh dear...

Seems like the massive pay cut he was willing to take was still not enough for Barcelona  

Here we are with what is happening with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang...

- Arsenal are in advanced talks with Barcelona for the striker to join on loan for the rest of the season. 

- Aubameyang is open to taking a massive pay cut to get his deal over the line. 

- He has even flown over to the Catalan city himself to make sure the loan is complete before the deadline.

Ring any bells, Peter Odemwingie?

Dele Alli to Everton, done deal and here we go! Full agreement reached with Tottenham, permanent move subject to medical in the next few hours. It’s done. 🔵🤝 #EFC

We are waiting for the official announcement but Dele Alli is off to Goodison Park!

It will spell the end of a turbulent time at Tottenham Hotspur which started positively but has fallen off in the last couple of years or so. 

Now, we wait for the announcement from Everton!

Jesse Lingard wants to leave Man United, he told Ralf Rangnick again today during face to face meeting. West Ham and Newcastle still keen on signing him. Up to Man United now. 🔴 #DeadlineDay

Jesse Lingard is looking to leave Old Trafford on loan in January as he did last season, with West Ham United back in for the England international. 

Newcastle United are also chasing Lingard, with their deal for Stade Reims youngster Hugo Ekitike stalling somewhat.

Arsenal and Barcelona have yet to reach a financial agreement and Aubameyang could still end up staying at the Emirates.

Aubameyang, 32, took it upon himself to fly to Spain as Barcelona were not expecting him with negotiations still ongoing and now it will be a race against time to get it done.

The ticking point is over Aubameyang’s wages as he is on £350,000-a-week, Arsenal would expect Barcelona to cover the majority of his earnings to make a loan move happen.

But agreement has not been reached with talks ongoing. Barcelona are still hoping to get the deal done - but it is in the balance now.

Newcastle back-up goalkeeper Freddie Woodman has completed a loan move to Bournemouth, with opportunities scant on Tyneside.

Barça will try to find a solution to sign Aubameyang while he’s in the city - huge salary reduction needed to complete this move.

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 31, 2022

Arsenal are still pushing for offensive reinforcements, but they will not come in the form of touted Barcelona outcast Ousmane Dembele.

The Frenchman does NOT want to ply his trade for the Gunners, and will not be used in Aubameyang's prospective move to the Catalan club. 

Nicolo Schira seems to think the transfer has been completed. Aaron Ramsey to Rangers on loan: who would have given that a chance? 

Liverpool are still looking likely to be lively on Deadline Day. They have a strong interest in Fabio Carvalho of Fulham, as we noted earlier on.

 

Frank Lampard takes charge of his first club in over a year, following his dismissal at Chelsea. He replaces Rafael Benitez at Everton. 

Rangers bursting the bank for Aaron Ramsey?

The paperwork has been signed for Tanguy Ndombele's loan move to Lyon for the remainder of the campaign.

After a difficult spell in London, the Frenchman's move could be made permanent for £65 million in the summer.

Leeds United look set to hold on to star man Raphinha as the Brazilian has been linked to a number of clubs, including West Ham United, German giants Bayern Munich as well as Chelsea, who look set to make a fresh bid for him in the summer. 

Kalvin Phillips has also been linked with a move to West Ham with Manchester United also keeping an eye on the situation.

American international Brendan Aaronsen has been a target for the Whites, with two bids already rejected by Red Bull Salzburg. A third bid is a possibility. 

Other names linked with the club are Eddie Nkeitah, who looks set to leave Arsenal, Kenedy as cover in case Crysencio Summerville leaves the club and Takumi Minamino, who would join the Yorkshire outfit on loan from Liverpool. 

John Lupo, Leeds United editor

Aside from a smattering of outgoings, including Donny Van de Beek's loan move to Everton, Manchester United's transfer activity appears sparse; Ousmane Dembele's services have been touted, but that deal appears dead and buried.

Unless United make a late move the season will continue with no freshening of the squad.

Was still hope this morning that Lingard to #nufc could happen, however Newcastle and #mufc a long way apart on valuation still, with time rapidly running out.⏳ Looks increasingly like Ekitike, Burn and Targett will join Trippier, Wood and BrunoG. Let's be honest... #whatawindow

— Pete Graves (@PeteGravesTV) January 31, 2022

Lingard excelled during his loan spell at West Ham during the latter half of last season, and Newcastle had hoped to replicate the success by bringing him to Tyneside one year on. 

At this stage, a deal appears "unlikely" with Manchester United and Newcastle some way apart on the players valuation.

Nicolas Pepe has endured an indifferent spell at Arsenal since his cliub record signing back in 2019. 

An offensive revamp is clearly on the agenda for Mikel Arteta, and Pepe has been deemed expendable.

As confident as you can be, with nearly 11 hours of the window left, that Yves Bissouma will be a Brighton player for the rest of the season. #BHAFC

It only depends on Barcelona outgoings to complete the deal. Arsenal already approved. pic.twitter.com/UBc6UJA3a0

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 31, 2022

 

Former Arsenal club-captain Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang has travelled to Barcelona, with the Gunners having agreed to let the striker join the Spanish side on a loan deal until the end of the season.

The move will be finalised should Barca be able to offload some of their own players.

Nat Phillips has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs since impressing during Liverpool's defensive injury crisis. However, he is now being pursed by Bournemouth of the Championship. 

Matt Targett looks set to join Newcastle United after the Aston Villa left-back was spotted in Tyneside earlier today.

The defender wanted to find a new employer after the arrival of Lucas Digne looked set to cut his minutes short. He could be one of many new arrivals at St James' Park. 

Donny van de Beek is putting pen to paper as we speak. It will be a standard loan fee and Everton will have to decide what to do at the end of that period. There is no contractual agreement to buy, or clause to meet.

When Aaron Ramsey joined Juventus, it was supposed to be the next step in his career after many years at Arsenal. Unfortunately, he has struggled to make a major impact in Italy and current manager Massimiliano Allegri had no future plans for the midfielder. 

The Welshman only caught concrete interest from one Premier League club (Burnley) and seems to have opted for Rangers, who are in pursuit of the Scottish title.

#YearOfTheTiger

Aaron Ramsey had an offer from Burnley but it looks like he has decided to join Rangers in Scotland!

There were days when January 31 was just a normal day for Newcastle United. Not anymore, with Graeme Bailey noting that they could make FIVE Deadline Day signings. Good heavens! 

 

 

The player will join Tottenham Hotspur today, all being well.

Burnley have gone all Jurassic Park to announce Wout Weghorst – and it's brilliant! 

 

Arsenal could find themselves priced out of a move for a striker in January. The crazy buy-out clause for Isak and Everton's £60-million price-tag for Dominic Calvert-Lewin leaves the Gunners in a bit of a pickle. 

The formerly talismanic Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looks set to join Barcelona on a loan deal, after falling out with manager Mikel Arteta. 

Tariq Lamptey has been outstanding for Brighton & Hove Albion when he has actually been on the field of play. The wing-back has missed roughly a year of football due to a long-term injury that he sustained last season. However, he has bounced back strongly and bigger clubs have been watching with intent. 

Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool have been linked with a swoop for the youngster. Brighton won't sell unless the bid is a big one!

 

Brighton & Hove Albion don't want to lose Yves Bissouma but – with only 18 months left on his current deal – they would sell if a high enough offer came in. 

He has been linked with a whole host of Premier League clubs. 

Liverpool have already signed Luis Diaz. 

 

Let's recap what has happened so far:

• Brentford signed Christian Eriksen to a six-month deal.
• Newcastle United have submitted a bid for Hugo Ekitike 
• The Magpies are also closing in on Matt Targett from Aston Villa on loan
• Donny van de Beek is having a medical at Everton this morning ahead of a loan move from Manchester United.
• Tottenham Hotspur midfielders Bryan Gil and Tanguy Ndombele are leaving on loan to Valencia and Lyon respectively. 
• Spurs are set to complete two midfield loan signings of their own, bringing in Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus.
• Aaron Ramsey is also set to leave Juve this window, with Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers chasing the Wales international. 

Two midfielders leave, two midfielders arrive for Antonio Conte and Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs look set to sign Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur today. 

Medical successfully completed for Dejan Kulusevski in London today morning. Deal signed between Tottenham and Juventus. ⚪️🤝 #THFC

Tottenham Hotspur midfielders Bryan Gil and Tanguy Ndombele are heading out on loan.

The former is off to Valencia in Spain for a straight six-month deal while Ndombele is going back to Lyon in France, who have the option to make his temporary switch a permanent one in the summer. 

Bryan Gil deal now finally signed between Tottenham and Valencia. Straight loan until June. No option to extend the loan, no buy option included. 🦇⚪️ #Valencia

Matt Targett is also expected to be announced in the coming hours, Dan Burn remains a possibility too.

It seems like Aaron Ramsey to Burnley has been a non-starter all window long - the club are very much the keener of the two parties. 

Rangers have emerged as the new favourites for his signature, but still a long way to go.

It is probably best the Clarets move on to other targets now, less than 14 hours to go now.

The great Dane has made his Premier League return after joining Brentford from Inter Milan.

Weghorst set to join Burnley for approximately £12m. 

With very little talk of potential incomings, Liverpool fans were resigned to yet another in active transfer window. 

 

This all changed on Friday after reports in Colombia emerged that the Reds had stepped up their attempts to sign in-demand Porto winger, Luis Diaz. 

 

This was a deal originally thought to be a priority in the summer but interest from Tottenham meant Liverpool had to accelerate the transfer and eventually wrapped it up on Sunday morning, officially announcing it via their social media channels.

We have completed the signing of Luis Diaz from FC Porto, subject to the successful granting of a work permit and international clearance ✍️😄 #VamosLuis

Julian Ward, the Sporting Director replacement for the much loved Michael Edwards, had another trick up his sleeve and stepped up interest in Fulham youngster, Fabio Carvalho.

 

Sources close to VAVEL are telling us that Carvalho is penned in for a medical ahead of singing for the club. It is expected he will remain a Fulham player on loan until the end of the season as the Cottages continue their push for promotion back to the top flight.

Reaction to all the latest news, including Liverpool's pursuit of Fulham midfielder Fabio Carvalho – just days after completing a deal for the highly sought after Luis Diaz from Porto. 

For all the latest on rumours, moves, and reaction to those moves, stick with VAVEL on this live blog! 

Tino Anjorjin looks destined to join Huddersfield Town on a loan deal, linking up with fellow Chelsea starlet Levi Colwill. 

The Blues have had a quiet January transfer window and supporters of the club have become rather frustrated.

Injuries to Reece James and Ben Chilwell have left Thomas Tuchel with an ageing Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso as his only full-back options. However, the club have not reacted to the situation – as of yet – and it looks like Tuchel will have to wait for his wounded soldiers to return.

Manchester United have been fairly quiet across the January transfer window, but there is still lots of room for a few late changes at Old Trafford.

Both Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek have been loaned to Sevilla and Crystal Palace respectively, and there's a strong chance we could see Jesse Lingard follow a similar path in the next 24 hours.

In terms of incomings, doubt looms over United's progress whilst Ralf Rangnick remains the manager merely on an interim basis. 

However, there has been talk surrounding a possible late move for Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele as the deadline rapidly approaches.

Tottenham Hotspur look to have wrapped up a late double deal for winger Dejan Kulusevski and midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur – both of whom were earning their trade with Juventus.

Bentancur joins for £18.5-million while Kulusevski will initially arrive on a loan deal, after which, Spurs will be able to decide whether they want to make him a permanent transfer or not. 

This late activity will be a big boost for Antonio Conte, who was starting to get restless at the lack of transfer activity up until this point. Sporting director Fabio Paratici had seen Adama Traore and Luis Diaz move on to Barcelona and Liverpool, respectively, but he will be pleased to have landed the Serie A duo. 

Spurs will also be looking to offload some of their peripheral players, with Dele Alli attracting the interest of several Premier League clubs. 

 

The pending arrival of Wout Weghorst is the first order of business for Burnley on Deadline Day. 

The Wolfsburg striker has had his medical and, according to reports in Germany, the deal is done and we are waiting for the confirmation.

Another striker is not such a priority but Divock Origi is a name being banded about and would definitely add another dimension to Sean Dyche's squad. 

The central midfield position is the main situation to keep an eye on, Aaron Ramsey and Ross Barkley continued to be linked to Turf Moor, while names like Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard could also come into play.

While the names are speculation, it should be almost guaranteed that it will be a busy day in East Lancashire for The Clarets.

It’s been a relatively quiet window for Manchester City this far, and that doesn’t look like changing across Deadline Day.

The Citizens are expected to announce the signing of highly-rated Argentine youngster Julian Alvarez, although it is understood that the River Plate forward will remain with the club on loan until the end of the season.

There is little to write home about in the way of outgoings, but do keep one eye on James McAtee, with a number of Premier League and Championship clubs understood to be keen on a deal for the attacking midfielder.

Guardiola is set to refute any offers to sign McAtee on a permanent deal, although he is set to be open to allowing the academy graduate to leave the club on loan as long as the loanee plays the right style of football to improve his game.

Donny van de Beek looks set to join Frank Lampard as his first signing!

Frank Lampard will take succeed Rafael Benitez – as the manager of Everton – on a two-and-a-half year contract.

As per several reports, it seems Duncan Ferguson will now leave the club as Lampard looks to bring in his new set of staff. 

We also expect the Toffees to be busy on the 31 January –looking to bring in Donny van de Beek on a loan deal from Manchester United.

Newcastle United have been the Premier League's biggest spenders this month so far, and we expect them to be active in the transfer market right up to the 11pm deadline.

Eddie Howe's side announced the £33.5m signing of Lyon midfielder Bruno Guimaraes today who becomes the third player through the door this month after Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood's earlier arrivals.

Brighton defender Dan Burn is set to complete a £13m back to his boyhood club tomorrow – and moves for Jesse Lingard, Eddie Nketiah and Matt Targett could yet still happen.

It's never dull on Tyneside, is it?
