Transfer deadline day LIVE: Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, Man Utd, Tottenham latest rumours and deals

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 ahead of a potential loan deal that hinged on Ousmane Dembele’s move to Paris Saint-Germain – but negotiations for the 32-year-old are on the verge of collapse due to the striker’s wage demands. Newcastle and West Ham are set to compete for the loan signing of Jesse Lingard from Manchester United, while Donny van de Beek could also be on the move as he edges closer to joining Everton. Rangers, meanwhile, are leading the race to sign Aaron Ramsey on loan from Juventus.

Lingard staying put at Manchester United

Story continues

17:57 , Lawrence Ostlere

Jesse Lingard is staying put at Manchester United until the end of the season, according to The Athletic. His contract ends this summer and it sounds as if the club are happy for it to run down at Old Trafford rather than at a top-four rival like West Ham or a potential future rival in big-spending Newcastle United.

Alli undergoes Everton medical

17:54 , Lawrence Ostlere

The Dele Alli transfer is close, and it sounds like Frank Lampard played his role in securing the midfielder’s services for Everton.

Tottenham’s Gil joins Valencia on loan

17:40 , Lawrence Ostlere

Dele Alli is on the verge of joining Everton and Bryan Gil is another outgoing from Spurs today, heading to Valencia on loan. Gil joined Tottenham last summer from Sevilla and has looked lively in his few appearances for the club, but hasn’t been able to hold down a place in the team and has barely featured for latest manager Antonio Conte.

Steer heads to Luton

17:34 , Lawrence Ostlere

Aston Villa confirm back-up goalkeeper Jed Steer is heading to Luton Town on loan for the rest of the season.

Everton closing in on Donny van de Beek

17:26 , Lawrence Ostlere

Everton have been busy today and they are set to conclude the signing of Donny van de Beek on loan from Manchester United, as well as Dele Alli signing permanently from Tottenham, in the coming hours.

Two No 8s joining the club would suggest Frank Lampard could be set to play a 4-3-3 formation, something he used to good effect at Chelsea initially.

Newcastle in pole position to land Jesse Lingard

17:22 , Lawrence Ostlere

Jesse Lingard’s future remains in limbo with only a few hours left in the window. West Ham carry a strong interest after his success at the London Stadium last season, but Manchester United are reluctant to let Lingard go to a top-four rival.

That means Newcastle are the favourites right now, although whether they can come to an agreement with Manchester United over a loan fee remains to be seen.

Dele Alli on his way to Everton

17:16 , Lawrence Ostlere

It sounds like Dele Alli is ready to depart Tottenham. The 25-year-old joined as a teenager and has had some good times in north London, earning 37 England caps along the way, but his career has stalled and a fresh start could be just what’s needed.

Frank Lampard’s Everton is the destination, in an odd deal which will see him move for free but rack up plenty of cost for Everton should he succeed at Goodison Park.

Tottenham complete double deadline day signings of Kulusevski and Bentancur

17:06 , Jamie Braidwood

Full report from Karl Matchett on Tottenham’s double deal

Tottenham have finally managed to get two transfer deals over the line on deadline day, completing a double swoop from Juventus to land Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur.

Antonio Conte had been vocal about needing to improve the players at his disposal if Spurs were to continue their hunt for a top-four finish in the Premier League and return to Champions League football next season, and he has now been boosted by this twin addition after a month of frustration.

After being beaten to Adama Traore and Luis Diaz by Barcelona and Liverpool respectively, the signing of Kulusevski brings pace and ball-carrying ability from wide areas of attack to Conte’s team. He joins on an 18-month loan for a reported fee of £8.3m, with an option to make the deal permanent for £29.2m in future.

Bentancur, meanwhile, makes an immediate permanent switch to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, joining for £16m rising to £21m with performance-related add-ons.

No more incomings expected at Spurs after Kulusevski, Bentancur deals

17:03 , Jamie Braidwood

Tottenham Hotspur are not expected to make any more signings following the announcements of Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus. It means Antonio Conte’s side will miss out on a right wing-back after top target Adama Traore joined Barcelona.

According to The Independent’s Miguel Delaney, Tottenham’s remaining business is likely to be outgoings, with Dele Alli on the verge of joining Everton in a permanent transfer.

The deal is set to be a free transfer with a £10million payment dependent on appearances.

DONE DEAL! Tottenham sign Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus

16:47 , Jamie Braidwood

And confirmation, too, from Spurs on the Kulusevski deal. “We are delighted to announce the signing of Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus, subject to international clearance and a work permit,” Tottenham said. “The attacking midfielder joins us on an 18-month loan with an option to buy from the Serie A side.”

16:02 , Jamie Braidwood

The 24-year-old played a key role in Liverpool’s qualification for the Champions League last season but his made just three appearances so far this campaign.

Phillips was the target of several Premier League clubs, according to reports, including Burnley and Watford.

Aubameyang move to Barcelona on verge of collapse

15:59 , Jamie Braidwood

Latest from The Independent’s Miguel Delaney on the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang:

Arsenal and Barcelona cannot come to an agreement on the format of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s wage demands, putting the move under significant threat.

The 32-year-old is understood to be paid around £350,000 a week, and Barcelona’s budget could not extend to that without getting Ousmane Dembele off the budget.

The Independent reported earlier on Monday that the Catalan club had offered Dembele to Arsenal, but he had no interest in going, and they ultimately couldn’t find an option for him.

That put the Aubameyang deal under strain to the point that Barcelona are being forced to walk, pending any dramatic late turnarounds.

Newcastle and West Ham target late loan for Jesse Lingard

15:50 , Jamie Braidwood

Latest from The Independent’s Mark Critchley on the future of Jesse Lingard:

Newcastle United and West Ham have revived their interest in Jesse Lingard, though it remains to be seen whether Manchester United will sanction a late loan move before Monday’s transfer deadline.

Lingard has been granted permission to leave by interim manager Ralf Rangnick, with his playing time limited at Old Trafford and his contract set to expire at the end of the season.

Newcastle all but pulled out of a deal for Lingard last week after failing to reach an agreement with United over the loan fee involved, which included a potential £12m bonus should they avoid relegation.

Talks between the two clubs are now on again in the hope of agreeing an eleventh-hour deal.

15:31 , Jamie Braidwood

Aaron Ramsey is set to join Rangers on loan from Juventus.

The Wales international is undergoing a medical in Glasgow after the Scottish champions won the race to sign the 31-year-old midfielder amid interest from Premier League clubs.

It has been reported that Juventus will cover a significant portion of Ramsey’s wages, while Rangers will have an option to buy the former Arsenal player at the end of the season.

Tottenham still open to letting Dele Alli leave, Everton linked

14:52 , Jamie Braidwood

It’s been a quiet day at Tottenham so far, with a number of incomings and outgoings still to be announced. Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur are undergoing medicals at Spurs while Tanguy Ndombele has agreed to join Lyon on loan, although all of those deals are still yet to be confirmed.

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte remains open to letting Dele Alli leave before the window shuts, as well as Giovani Lo Celso. Everton have emerged as an option for Dele , while Newcastle and Southampton have also been linked.

If Dele was to join the club on deadline day, it would have to be on a permanent deal as the impending loan signing of Donny van de Beek would see Everton fill their quota of Premier League loans.

But according to reports this afternoon, Everton are now exploring a permanent deal for the former England international, following the appointment of Frank Lampard as permanent manager.

Newcastle set to be snubbed by Hugo Ekitike

14:37 , Jamie Braidwood

Newcastle have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of striker Hugo Ekitike after the 19-year-old turned down the chance to join the Premier League club.

Newcastle agreed a fee with Reims this morning for the forward, who has scored eight goals in Ligue 1 this season, but L’Equipe are reporting that the Frenchman has rejected the move.

According to reports, Ekitike wants to complete his first season with Reims, his hometown club, and has doubts over Newcastle given their position of 18th in the Premier League table.

14:20 , Jamie Braidwood

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants Aubameyang to leave before the end of the window but the Gunners were not expecting the striker to fly to Spain.

BREAKING: Manchester City confirm Julian Alvarez signing

14:05 , Jamie Braidwood

Manchester City have completed the €17m (£14.2m) signing of Julian Alvarez, with the 22-year-old set to remain at River Plate for the rest of the season.

Alvarez has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with the Premier League champions though will only join up with his new club during the summer at the earliest.

The 22-year-old ended River’s most recent campaign with 24 goals in 46 games across all competitions, while also finishing as the Argentine top flight’s leading scorer.

Alvarez has emerged as one of the brightest young talents in South American football, with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Internazionale among those interested in his signing.

The signing of Alvarez is not expected to change City’s plans for the summer transfer market, when a striker will be considered the top priority.

Lingard holds further talks with Rangnick amid Newcastle, West Ham offers

14:03 , Jamie Braidwood

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has reiterated to Jesse Lingard that he would allow the England international to leave the club on loan before the transfer window shuts.

Newcastle have submitted an offer to sign Lingard on loan but refused to match United’s valuation, which included a significant relegation survival clause of around £12 million.

Lingard wants to leave the club in order to get more game time and improve his chances of returning to Gareth Southgate’s England squad ahead of the World Cup in Qatar – and according to reports the 29-year-old met with Rangnick on Monday.

It is believed the German will not stand in Lingard’s way, leaving it up to the United hierarchy to accept one of the offers made to them. West Ham, who signed Lingard on loan last season in a successful spell, are also said to have come back in for the midfielder.

Ramsey closes in on Rangers move

13:55 , Jamie Braidwood

Rangers are leading the chase to sign Aaron Ramsey from Juventus in what would be a sensational signing for the Scottish champions.

West Ham, meanwhile, have also hit trouble in their bid for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez. The Guardian are reporting that Benfica are not listening to offers for the Uruguay international.

Everton appoint Frank Lampard as new manager

13:34 , Jamie Braidwood

Lampard said: “It is a huge honour for me to represent and manage a club the size and tradition of Everton. I’m very hungry to get started. After speaking to the owner, chairman and the board, I very much felt their passion and ambition. I hope they felt my ambition and how hard I want to work to bring it together.

“You can feel the passion Everton fans have for their club. That will be hugely important. As a team – the competitive level that the Premier League brings and the position we are in the table – we certainly need that. It’s a two-way thing. I think Everton is a unique club in that you can really understand what the fans want to see. The first thing they want is fight and desire and that must always be our baseline.

“My first message to the players will be that we have to do this together. We’ll try to do our job and I know the fans will be there backing us.”

The announcement of Donny van de Beek’s loan signing is expected to follow:

Everton appoint Frank Lampard as new manager

13:32 , Jamie Braidwood

Everton have confirmed the appointment of Frank Lampard as the club’s new head coach after holding a further round of talks over the weekend.

It brings the Toffees’ chaotic search for a new manager to an end after Wayne Rooney rejected an approach and Vitor Pereira’s lack of credentials and connection to the agent Kia Joorabchian caused backlash among supporters.

The appointment marks Lampard’s return to the dugout almost exactly a year after he was sacked by Chelsea, where he guided the club to a fourth-placed finish in the Premier League and an FA Cup final.

Here are just a few of the deals that are awaiting confirmation following medicals:

Barcelona offer Dembele to Arsenal as part of Aubameyang deal

12:58 , Jamie Braidwood

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:

Arsenal not expected to replace Aubameyang

12:34 , Jamie Braidwood

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

12:14 , Jamie Braidwood

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.

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.

Aubameyang’s Barcelona move comes down to deadline day

11:25 , Jamie Braidwood

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is expected to complete a deadline day move to Barcelona but the striker’s exit from Arsenal could depend on other deals at the Nou Camp.

Barcelona want Ousmane Dembele to leave the club, with Paris Saint-Germain agreeing personal terms with the France international winger. However, Barcelona are also holding out for a £20 million fee, which is delaying the transfer.

Aubameyang is unlikely to join Barcelona unless Dembele moves on given the financial difficulties at the club. Elsewhere at Arsenal, Eddie Nketiah is expected to stay and enter the final six months of his contract despite interest from Crystal Palace and Newcastle.

Incomings are unlikely, however, with Arsenal running out of time in their pursuit of Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad.

10:23 , Jamie Braidwood

Newcastle are favourites to sign Aston Villa left back Matt Targett on loan with the two clubs reportedly reaching an agreement over a deal until the end of the season.

Uruguay international Bentancur was linked with a move to Aston Villa earlier in the window but The Telegraph report he prefers a move to Tottenham and permanent deal appears close.

Director of football Fabio Paratici, who previously worked at Juventus, has moved to sign the player after he fell out of favour under Max Allegri.

Tottenham agree Valencia loan for Bryan Gil

10:02 , Jamie Braidwood

09:39 , Jamie Braidwood

Jesse Lingard has not given up on wanting to leave Manchester United on loan in search of regular game time – with Newcastle still keen for a deal.

According to the Athletic, Lingard has discussed the move with United’s interim manager Ralf Rangnick and has pleaded for the club to lower their valuation.

The Independent’s Miguel Delaney has reported that United included a significant relegation survival clause in their loan terms, which could see Newcastle have to pay up to £16m if they were to sign Lingard until the end of the season.

Lingard has played just 24 minutes of Premier League football since Rangnick was appointed and the 29-year-old is desperate for more minutes in order to push for a place in Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad.

Donny van de Beek expected to complete Everton loan

09:29 , Jamie Braidwood

Eriksen signs for Brentford seven months after cardiac arrest

08:46 , Jamie Braidwood

Brentford’s director of football, Phil Giles, said: “We first discussed the possibility of Christian joining Brentford when we heard that he would be leaving Inter. It is fantastic that he is now with us.

“Naturally the process of signing Christian was more elongated than most transfers. I understand that many people will have questions about the process. In order to respect Christian’s medical confidentiality, we won’t be going into any details.

“Brentford fans can rest assured that we have undertaken significant due diligence to ensure that Christian is in the best possible shape to return to competitive football. Now Christian has made the decision to sign for Brentford, all parties want to focus fully on football.

“We are sure that Christian will make a big impact at Brentford and on the Premier League between now and the end of the season.”

The explosive talent and traits which make Colombia star Luis Diaz Liverpool’s latest ideal signing

08:30 , Jack Rathborn

The top scorer for the top team in Portugal. More than a goal or assist every 90 minutes of league play. Two goals in the same Champions League group as the team keen to sign him and the Copa America’s joint-top scorer, along with a certain Lionel Messi.

It’s easy to see the broad strokes of the attacking play which have attracted Liverpool to Luis Diaz, with the Reds now hopeful of signing the FC Porto wide man before Monday’s transfer deadline.

There’s far more to his game though, and his personality, than mere goalscoring – however important that factor might eventually be in one of Europe’s top teams outlaying big money for his services.

AC Milan eye Dele Alli loan move

08:27 , Jack Rathborn

AC Milan are looking into a loan deal for Dele Alli on deadline day, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Christian Eriksen hopes to join new Brentford teammates ‘very soon’

08:22 , Jack Rathborn

Christian Eriksen hopes to join up with his new Brentford teammates “very soon” after clinching his return to both the Premier League and London.

The former Spurs midfielder arrives from Inter Milan until the summer after working his way back to fitness following his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 last summer.

“I’m happy to announce I’ve signed for Brentford,” said the Dane. “I can’t wait to get started and hopefully I’ll see you all very soon.”

Brentford sign Christian Eriksen

08:11 , Jack Rathborn

Brentford have signed Christian Eriksen on a deal until the end of the season, subject to international clearance.

Thomas Frank said: “I am looking forward to working with Christian again. It has been a while since I last coached him, and a lot has happened since then. Christian was 16 at the time and has become one of the best midfield players to appear in the Premier League. He has also won trophies all over Europe and become the star of the Danish national team.

“We have taken an unbelievable opportunity to bring a World Class player to Brentford. He hasn’t trained with a team for seven months but has done a lot of work on his own. He is fit but we will need to get him match fit and I am looking forward to seeing him work with the players and staff to get back towards his highest level.

“At his best, Christian has the ability to dictate games of football. He can find the right passes and is a goal threat.
