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:

Lingard staying put at Manchester United
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.”
