Transfer deadline day summer 2019: The deals done so far

The transfer window ended with a flurry of activity as the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham, Leicester, Sheffield United and Manchester City all put pen to paper on a number of late deals.

While the Gunners secured the services of David Luiz and Kieran Tierney, their rivals Spurs brought in Giovani Lo Celso from Real Betis having failed to finalise a transfer for Paulo Dybala.

Elsewhere, Manchester United sold Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan, Leicester bought Dennis Praet, Mo Besic joined Sheffield United and, in one of the more unexpected deals of the day, Manchester City signed Derby's Scott Carson on loan. Look back over these transfers, and many others, in our deadline day blog below:

Besic joins United

It's not quite the Everton news that supporters were expecting, but Mo Besic has joined Sheffield United on a season-long loan deal.

Besic spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough and has 40 caps for Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder said: "I am delighted to get a midfielder through the door. Mo is a proper player. He has great pedigree which includes playing internationally and playing in the Premier League.

"He is an excellent all-round central midfielder. He is someone who can do everything we want a midfielder to do.

"Mo has played as a defensive midfielder for his country but he can also play further forward. Overall we feel this window has been a great success."

Well this is awkward..

David Luiz only recently signed a contract extension at Chelsea.

A suggested disagreement between him and the club has seen him switch Chelsea for Arsenal this evening.

There's still no official word on Alex Iwobi's move from Arsenal to Everton.

A deal sheet was submitted to the Premier League to get the deal over the line, but still we wait...

That, my friends, is that! What a day it's been, one of highs, lows and unfulfilled promises. Such is life. Anyway, that's us done for another year. See you on the other side.
