Transfer deadline day LIVE reaction: Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, Man Utd, Leeds, Tottenham latest deals
Follow all the latest news, rumours and deals on a frenetic day in the Premier League and beyond
Transfer deadline day is here with several Premier League teams looking set for a busy end to the window. Everton are aiming to sign Dele Alli on a permanent deal from Tottenham following the appointment of Frank Lampard, who has offered the former England international a chance to revive his career. It comes after Spurs completed the double signing of Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus, with Tanguy Ndombele also leaving the club after agreeing to rejoin Lyon on loan until the end of the season.
Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang arrived in Barcelona earlier on deadline day, with the move at one stage looking off. That seems to have changed and he has had a medical in Spain - it could be confirmed in the early hours. Jesse Lingard is now staying at Man United after a loan move broke down, while Donny van de Beek has secured a departure, moving on loan to Everton. Rangers, meanwhile, have completed the signing of Aaron Ramsey on loan from Juventus - but Liverpool’s move for Fabio Carvalho fell through late on.
We’ve brought you all the late rumours and done deals right here and the transfer window is now closed in the Premier League and Championship. Follow all the latest transfer updates from deadline day below:
BREAKING: Everton confirm Lampard appointment
Not a transfer, but a huge announcement.

- Bentancur and Kulusevski to Tottenham
- Van de Beek to Everton
- Targett to Newcastle
- Ndombele to Lyon
- Gil to Valencia
Barcelona offer Dembele to Arsenal as part of Aubameyang deal
Barcelona have investigated whether Ousmane Dembele could go to Arsenal as part of a deal to send Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the other way.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants the 32-year-old out of his squad and Barcelona are one of the few possible options interested, but they need to clear up space on their wage bill.
The Catalan club may struggle to afford the Gabon international’s wages otherwise and a deal could hinge on Dembele leaving on deadline day.
Latest from The Independent’s Miguel Delaney:
Barcelona offer Ousmane Dembele to Arsenal as part of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang deal
Aubameyang has arrived in Barcelona ahead of a proposed loan move but the deal hinges on Dembele leaving the club on deadline day
Arsenal not expected to replace Aubameyang
Arsenal are unlikely to sign a replacement striker for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should the 32-year-old’s loan move to Barcelona go through today.
Aubameyang has arrived in Barcelona as he looks to complete a move to the LaLiga side until the end of the season.
The striker had been frozen out by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after he was stripped of the captaincy following a disciplinary breach and it leaves Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah as the only remaining strikers at the club.
Arsenal have been linked with various strikers throughout the window, including Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins. Dusan Vlahovic was another target before his move to Juventus.
Bournemouth interested in Liverpool duo
Bournemouth have approached Liverpool over potentially singing centre-back Nat Phillips and full-back Neco Williams on loan until the end of the season.
According to several reports, Liverpool would be open to letting Phillips leave on loan if there are no suitors for a £15 million permanent transfer.
Bournemouth are third in the Championship as they look to secure promotion back to the Premier League.
Manchester City preparing Julian Alvarez deal
Manchester City are set to announce the signing of Argentina striker Julian Alvarez from River Plate.
The Premier League leaders have agreed terms with River for the 22-year-old, who scored 18 goals as the club won the league last season.
Alvarez is expected to return to Argentina on loan once the deal is completed.
Ramsey set for Juventus exit
Juventus are trying to arrange a deal for Aaron Ramsey to leave the club, and the Wales international is attracting interest from the Premier League.
It has emerged, however, that Scottish champions Rangers are leading the race for the 31-year-old, who has fallen out of favour at the Serie A side.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that Rangers have made a loan offer with option to buy, with Ramsey set to make a decision.
Meanwhile, the Athletic’s David Ornstein is reporting that Ramsey will chose between Rangers and two rival offers from the Premier League.
Arsenal’s Aubameyang arrives in Barcelona
Meanwhile, footage on social media appears to show Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang arriving at Barcelona airport ahead of his loan move from Arsenal.
Tottenham’s Gil arrives in Valencia ahead of loan move
Tottenham forward Bryan Gil has arrived in Valencia ahead of his loan move to the LaLiga club.
Gil, 20, has yet to start Premier League for Tottenham following his transfer from Sevilla last summer.
The Spain international will join Valencia until the end of the season and it has been reported that his deal does not include an option to buy.
