Transfer news LIVE!

A remarkable, record-breaking summer window slammed shut on Tuesday night as the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham all finalised their squads for the next few months. For the Gunners, the dream of Julian Alvarez never materialised, as Deadline Day saw outgoings and no incomings . Gabriel Martinelli’s move to Saudi Arabia is still to be confirmed.

It was a far busier, and more dramatic, day at Chelsea, who sold Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City for a British-record-equalling £125million. A fee was agreed to make Lamine Camara his replacement, but Monaco pulled the plug to leave the Blues furious. Florian Balogun’s move to Everton from Monaco also collapsed, despite the Ligue 1 side needing money.

Tottenham saw Iliman Ndiaye move to Man City, but snapped up Chelsea pair Mykhailo Mudryk, on loan, and Tosin Adarabioyo, for £12m. Liverpool the day earlier signed Bradley Barcola for £123m and felt their business was done. It was a very busy day at Crystal Palace, despite missing out on Fofana.

DONE DEAL! Obi seals loan move

Manchester United striker Chido Obi has agreed to join Willem II on a season-long loan.

A statement reads: “The 18-year-old is coming off the back of an impressive season with our Under-21s, scoring 15 goals in 31 appearances last term. The Denmark youth international made his senior debut for the Reds in February 2025 against Tottenham Hotspur and has since gone on to make seven further appearances for the first team, becoming our youngest-ever Premier League starter later that season against Brentford.

“He is now set to link up with the Eredivisie side to gain further senior experience.”
