Premier League transfer round-up: Latest deals from the January window

Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the very latest transfer deadline day news and rumours. Arsenal have completed the club-record signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after getting the green light from Borussia Dortmund to announce the deal, with the striker joining for £56m, and have followed it up by agreeing a new three-and-a-half year contract extension for Mesut Özil that will see him paid £350,000-a-week.

The Gunners have put the 3-1 defeat by Swansea behind them on Wednesday by announcing a new club-record deal, with Olivier Giroud now expected to leave the club. Giroud looks certain to leave Arsenal for Chelsea after Blues agreed an £18m deal with the Gunners to keep him remain in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Dortmund are set to sign Chelsea’s Michy Batshuayi on loan until the end of the season, with the Belgian striker in Dortmund undergoing a medical.

Manchester City will continue their late pursuit of Riyad Mahrez, although Leicester City are believed to have rejected a third offer on Tuesday worth £55m, and have informed the Premier League leaders that it will take a lot more to tempt them into selling as they do not have enough time to find a replacement.

Tottenham will also complete their first bit of business this month after agreeing a deal worth around £28m wit Paris saint-Germain to sign Lucas Moura, with a medical already completed this morning.

BANG!

Did you hear that? Did you hear it? That was the sound of the transfer window slamming shut!

I'm so, so sorry for inflicting such an appalling joke on all of you but I'm pretty tired now and, frankly, I'm transfer-ed out. 

Thanks for tuning into our coverage of another memorable transfer deadline day. A couple more moves will likely trickle through over the next few hours or so but the biggies have all been taken care of so I'm off to sleep. 

Goodnight!

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's £60million move to Arsenal was the big story of the day
