Premier League transfer round-up: Tottenham aim for double signing

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:

Ousmane Dembele turns down move to Spurs

Ousmane Dembele has opted against a move to Tottenham, say Diario AS - several other outlets including RMC and Mundo Deportivo now report that he will be staying at Barcelona for the rest of the season.

He is out of contract in the summer and doesn’t appear to want to renew his deal...but he has also said no to moves to both PSG and now Spurs this window, too.

Newcastle chase Dele Alli

Newcastle are attempting to hijack Dele Alli’s move to Everton after their move to sign Jesse Lingard was snubbed by Manchester United. Eddie Howe is determined to add creativity and goals in midfield but it seems unlikely to get through at this hour, with Alli undergoing a medical for a permanent switch to Goodison Park.

Aubameyang set for Barcelona

It looks like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s Arsenal career is almost up. There were points today when it appeared a deal would not get done, but Barca have found a way to cover his wages. Does that mean Ousmane Dembele is on his way out of the club?

Newcastle set to miss out on Ekitike

It looks like Newcastle are going to miss out on their man, young French striker Hugo Ekitike. Eddie Howe hoped to add the teenager to his attacking unit after capturing Chris Wood from Burnley earlier in the window, and Newcastle agreed a deal with Rennes, but it appears Ekitike has thought better of the move.

Juventus confirm Zakaria signing

Juventus have sealed the deal for Denis Zakaria, the midfielder effectively replacing Rodrigo Bentancur who has joined Spurs. The 25-year-old Zakaria is a regular for the Swiss national team after establishing himself for German side Borussia Monchengladbach over the past five seasons, and had been linked with some of the biggest sides in the Premier League over the past few months.

Brereton Diaz on Barcelona radar

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s proposed move to Barcelona seemingly off, Barca are set to turn to Blackburn, of course, and Chilean striker Ben Brereton Diaz. The 22-year-old has been prolific this season with 20 goals in 24 Championship appearances.
