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:
Aubameyang completes Barcelona medical
All very cloak-and-daggers in Catalunya over the Arsenal striker’s medical - Aubameyang has finished his medical and then the club sent the car away empty without him, trying to throw the local media off the scent.
He’s been spotted in another vehicle though and it looks as though the announcement of the move is imminent.
Liverpool agree deal with Fulham for Carvalho
Liverpool have reached an agreement with Fulham for Fabio Carvalho, leaving a race against time to conclude the deal before the January transfer deadline.
Talks between the two clubs on Monday have concluded, with the highly-rated 19-year-old set to remain at Craven Cottage on loan for the remainder of the season.
Latest reports and all the details from Mark Critchley here:

One hour until the transfer window closes!
Right, we’re into the last hour of it all - just under 60 minutes for clubs to get those deals done in the Premier League and Football League.
The biggest deals we’re still waiting on include:
- Aubameyang leaving Arsenal for Barcelona
- Dele Alli following Frank Lampard over to Everton
- Liverpool signing Fabio Carvalho and loaning him back to Fulham
- Dan Burn signing for Newcastle
Any late surprises beyond these?!
Former Chelsea defender Panzo set to sign for Forest
Double deal incoming for Championship side Nottingham Forest. One at the back and one up top to boost their promotion hopes - Forest are eighth in the table, two places and two points off the play-off spots.
Liverpool agree terms with Fulham over Carvalho move
Liverpool making moves! The Reds have already added Luis Diaz - will they get Fabio Carvalho over the line too? They have just over an hour to get the medical and personal terms done.
The signing will include a loan back to Fulham for the rest of the season, if it can all be sorted in time.
Report: Van de Beek moves on loan to Everton from Man United
Reminder of one of today’s biggest deals: Donny van de Beek has joined Everton on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old’s wages will be covered by Everton for the duration of his stay at Goodison Park, though the deal does not include an option to buy.
Van de Beek had also attracted interest from Crystal Palace but has chosen to effectively become the first signing of incoming Everton manager Frank Lampard.
The Netherlands international has been eager to secure a move away from United having struggled to establish himself following his £39m move from Ajax in September 2020.
Van de Beek is yet to start a Premier League game this season, with all of his eight appearances coming as a substitute.

Done deal: Rangers confirm signing of Aaron Ramsey
Rangers have their man! Aaron Ramsey has joined the Ibrox club on loan until the end of the season.
Ramsey says he had “a number of offers on the table” this month but wanted European football and “the chance to play in front of 50,000 fans every other week”.
Big signing for the Gers.
Only one more deal for Newcastle to complete - and it’s not Dele Alli
Still on the subject of Newcastle, looks like getting Dan Burn in from Brighton will be their last bit of business today.
They have signed Trippier, Wood and Guimaraes this window, as well as landing Matt Targett on loan from Aston Villa today.
No Dele Alli incoming in that case, so Everton’s run should be clear.
Botman admits to Newcastle interest
Lille defender Sven Botman has reportedly told Ziggo Sport that Newcastle wanted to sign him this month - and he hasn’t ruled out a summer move to St. James’ Park.
“I’m fine at Lille for the time being. I assume that I will take a good step in my career next summer. You never know in football. This time both Newcastle and Milan were in very concrete talks. Both clubs have their positive points.”
Have the challengers done enough for a Champions League place?
West Ham have seen bids rejected for the likes of Lingard and Nunez; Spurs missed out on Diaz, Dembele and Adama; Arsenal pinned their hopes on Vlahovic who instead went to Juventus.
Each might be left wondering what might have been come May - if Man United can find consistency to go with their quality. With on and off-pitch issues though, that’s far from a certain thing.
