Transfer Deadline Day LIVE! Spurs £60m blow; Greenwood loan; Liverpool announce deal
The clock is ticking on transfer deadline day and plenty of deals are still left to be completed. Liverpool have sealed the signing of Ryan Gravenberch, despite Bayern Munich’s move for Joao Palhinha collapsing in dramatic fashion.
The Gunners were said to want a new defender, but have missed out on Eric Garcia who has joined Girona. Chelsea, meanwhile, have signed Cole Palmer and will keep Ian Maatsen. Conor Gallagher was attracting interest from Spurs but that move if off the table, though Tottenham are set to sign Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest.
Manchester United have landed Sergio Reguilon from Tottenham and late in the day confirmed the signing of Sofyan Amrabat on loan. Mason Greenwood meanwhile has joined Getafe on loan. There will be plenty of twists and turns before the fun ends at 11pm BST so follow all the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip live on deadline day below!

Greenwood joins Getafe on loan
LaLiga club Getafe have signed Mason Greenwood on loan from Manchester United.
The former England striker is set for a return to football 18 months after being suspended by United amid allegations of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault.
The Crown Prosecutive Service ended its own case in February of this year following the “withdrawal of key witnesses”, and United confirmed it would conduct its own investigation.
Last month, the Premier League club revealed that Greenwood’s future would lie away from Old Trafford despite a statement outlining their belief that the 21-year-old “did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged”.
The player has Madrid-based side Getafe until the end of the season on loan. He still has two years left to run on his United contract.
A United statement on the move read: “The move enables Greenwood to begin to rebuild his career away from Manchester United.
“The club will continue to offer its support to Mason and his family during this period of transition.”

Spurs seal £45m deal
Tottenham have signed Brennan Johnson on transfer deadline day after agreeing a £45million deal with Nottingham Forest.
The Wales international, who travelled down from Forest’s training ground to London for a medical on Friday, becomes the seventh signing of the Ange Postecoglou era at Spurs.
Tottenham had been locked in talks with Forest over the forward, after interest from Chelsea waned following their capture of Cole Palmer from Manchester City. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis led discussions and an agreement was reached on deadline day.

Confirmation of Holding to Palace!
Moyes on West Ham business
David Moyes has been asked after West Ham’s win over Luton about the possibility of any late transfer activity.
“I’ll need to see what’s on my phone and see if there’s anything there,” he said.
That would be a no then.
Holding seals Palace move
Rob Holding has completed his move to Crystal Palace from Arsenal.
The Athletic report that the deal is now done, with Palace paying the Gunners an initial £1m with a possible £2.5m in add-ons.
Holding has signed a three-year deal in time for him to face Wolves on Sunday.
Done deal!
The deals are flying in now.
It’s another loan deal, as Eric Garcia leaves Barcelona to join Girona for the rest of the season.
The former Man City defender was linked with a move to Arsenal, but Garcia will remain in Spain.
Sarr made to wait
Chelsea defender Malang Sarr hasn’t found a move away before transfer deadline day, writes Nizaar Kinsella.
The 24-year-old has struggled to find a move due to his £100,000-a-week wages and difficult loan spells at Monaco and Porto.
Sarr can still move to any of Turkey, Belgium, Czech Republic, Greece, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia where transfer windows remain open beyond the 11pm deadline tonight.
