Premier League transfer round-up: Tottenham aim for double signing

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:

Ramsey in line for Rangers medical

Aaron Ramsey is in Glasgow and a move appears imminent, pending his medical. A big signing for the Gers if they get it done, but the Welsh midfielder’s career simply hasn’t gone to plan since he departed Arsenal.

Will this be the deal that helps Rangers go on to win the title again?

Medical time for Aubameyang at Barcelona

Looks like this deal is right on the verge of completion, with Arsenal reportedly letting Aubameyang - captain of the club until six weeks ago - leave for free.

Pizza sounds like it’s pretty much deadline-day sponsored food too, right? Easy to get at short notice late at night, everybody likes it and you feel like a winner eating it.

Fulham consider late loan bid for Liverpool’s Neco Williams

Fulham and Liverpool have been in discussions all day - over Fabio Carvalho. Now there looks to be another player on the table for a deal between the two, in Neco Williams.

The right-back wants some regular action to ensure he’s picked for Wales’ World Cup qualifier and the Athletic report that Fulham are considering a late loan bid for him.

Whether that’s to be tied in with a Carvalho deal remains to be seen.

Man United ‘block’ Henderson move to Watford

Manchester United don’t want Dean Henderson going anywhere and their second-choice goalkeeper looks like staying.

Latest updates on Aubameyang’s free transfer move to Barcelona

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was on the verge of joining Barcelona as the January transfer window headed into the final hours.

The 32-year-old former Gunners captain arrived in Spain on Monday morning, sparking rumours of a loan move to the LaLiga side although confusion reigned as no agreement had been reached.

The Gabon international returned home early from the Africa Cup of Nations due to health reasons but has not played for the Gunners since being disciplined by the club in December.

He had been linked with a loan move this January, with Barcelona among those clubs reportedly showing an interest.

The PA news agency understands that talks have since progressed between the two clubs and a medical is now expected to take place with the view to Aubameyang moving permanently on a free transfer.

Here’s all the latest:

Aubameyang poised for late deadline-day move to Barcelona

The deposed Arsenal captain was set for a medical with the LaLiga giants, while Everton and Tottenham were both busy on the final day of the window.

Bournemouth seal fourth deadline-day signing

Siriki Dembele joins Bournemouth from Peterborough! He’s added to Keiffer Moore, Freddie Woodman and Nat Phillips who have all signed today.

Real Madrid Mbappe rumours resurface over free transfer deal

An on-again, off-again deal for the past six months and it doesn’t look like changing until he signs somewhere - Kylian Mbappe’s agents have had to deny any pre-agreement with Real Madrid, with Spanish outlets Diario AS and El Chiringuito both claiming ‘done deals’ with regards to a summer switch on a free transfer.

Bit awkward, given PSG have actually just kicked off in a Cup match against Ligue 1’s second-placed team Nice. Mbappe is sub!

Liverpool still chasing Fulham’s Fabio Carvalho

Liverpool signed Luis Diaz yesterday and the Colombian winger will prove a big addition to the attack. He could yet be joined by another new face - Fulham’s youngster Fabio Carvalho.

He’s out of contract at the end of the season but the Reds are attempting to get the deal done tonight, rather than wait for a free-for-all on a deal going to a tribunal.

Bournemouth sign Wales international Kieffer Moore

Busy day for the Cherries. The Championship battering ram that is Kieffer Moore has signed a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee with Bournemouth, joining on a long-term contract from Cardiff.

Aubameyang set to sign for Barcelona on free transfer

Reports on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s future have swung back and forth wildly today, with his wages seemingly a massive problem for the Catalan club at £350,000 a week.

That however looks to have been resolved easily: Arsenal are selling him on a free transfer and the striker is reducing his wages significantly, according to multiple reports, allowing him to sign for Barcelona on a permanent deal.

Looks like it will be this season plus the option of another, or else a straight 18-month deal.
