Transfer deadline day summer 2019: The deals done so far

Follow all the day's latest transfer news as Manchester United and Arsenal both look to complete tide-turning transfers in their push to return to Champions League football.

United are edging closer to a swap deal that would see Romelu Lukaku join Juventus and Argentinian playmaker Paulo Dybala move in the other direction. Lukaku has agreed terms with the Italian champions and both clubs are now just waiting on the decision of Dybala after the 25-year-old met with Maurizio Sarri yesterday afternoon. It's believed he'll demand Ed Woodward pays him close to £350,000-per-week to match United's top earners.

Arsenal are set to announce Nicolas Pepe on a club-record £72m transfer after persona terms were finalised and the Ivorian winger underwent a medical earlier in the week. The Gunners are still edging closer with their pursuit of Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney, while a loan deal for Juve centre-back Daniele Rugani is also being mooted.
