Transfer deadline day: Bergvall opts for Spurs summer move, Broja set for Fulham – live | Transfer window

Fulham have filed a deal sheet for Chelsea striker Armando Broja. That will give both clubs and the player until 1am to sort things out. We wish them all good luck … and good night. Thanks for reading this rolling blog!

No news yet of Armando Broja to Fulham. Meanwhile a blow for Leicester City, as their attempt to land Internazionale midfielder Stefano Sensi has fallen through. The two clubs couldn’t agree terms in time, and so while all other Is were dotted and Ts crossed, the deal collapsed.

Ah, here we go, a bit more on that Enes Unal deal: it’s a loan, but Bournemouth have an obligation to buy him for £14m.

Adam Idah joins Celtic on loan

Burnley have already signed Montpellier defender Maxime Estève, but now they’re two in the hole: 23-year-old Rennes right-back Lorenz Assignon has joined on loan until the end of the season. “I’m ready to go,” says Assignon. “It’s the best league in the world and I’m really excited to be a part of it.”

Aston Villa have signed a new understudy for goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez: 23-year-old Joe Gauci from Adelaide United. Gauci is currently at the Asian Cup with Australia, but took his medical yesterday in the hope of getting this deal over the line.

Swedish wonderkid Lucas Bergvall has reportedly agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur in the summer. The 17-year-old Djurgården sensation, whose big birthday is tomorrow, also had an offer from Barcelona, but has opted for a senior contract with Spurs instead. Here’s what our Next Generation 2023 feature had to say about the young man:

Bervall was only 16 when he helped Brommapojkarna get promoted to the Swedish top flight in 2022. Before that he had been captain of the club’s various youth teams that had won cups all over Europe. After his exploits in Superettan with BP, Sweden’s top sides wanted to sign him and he opted to stay in Stockholm with his favourite club, Djurgården. He joined together with his younger brother, Theo. Now 17, Bergvall has impressed during his first season in the top flight, and has made 20 appearances at the time of writing, scoring the winner against Halmstad on 30 September. Plays up for the national team, with the under-18s and was recently called up to the under-21 squad. It seems just a matter of time before he moves abroad.

Deadline day: the headlines so far

The 19-year-old Chelsea midfielder Andrey Santos has joined Strasbourg on loan until the end of the season. Santos had spent the first half of this campaign at Nottingham Forest, but his appearances were limited and the deal terminated. Strasbourg are managed by Patrick Vieira and owned by a certain Todd Boehly.

Brighton were also in the hunt for Bryan Gil. However the Spain winger has turned down the chance of a loan move to the south coast for the rest of the season and will stay put at Tottenham Hotspur.

Brighton & Hove Albion have signed their latest star of tomorrow: 18-year-old midfielder Josh Robertson from Sunderland. The attacking midfielder had been at the Stadium of Light since the age of nine, and made his Premier League 2 debut last September. “He’s demonstrated his ability to play in a variety of attacking roles while also showing his goalscoring threat,” says Brighton under-21s head coach Shannon Ruth. “We believe he will fit in well with our style of play which will also allow him to show his strengths. He will join our under-21 squad and we are excited to see how he progresses in our environment.”

Jesse Lingard off to South Korea

The game at the London Stadium has finished with honours even: West Ham United 1-1 Bournemouth.

Mason Holgate has swapped a promotion push with Southampton for a relegation challenge at Sheffield United. Holgate had been on a season-long loan with the Saints from Everton, but that deal has been mutually terminated so the 27-year-old defender can join the Blades. “Mason’s desire to come here and join our fight is huge for me,” manager Chris Wilder told the club website. “He’s got a point to prove, he’s a local lad who knows what Sheffield United are all about, he has his finger on the pulse and knows what to expect here.”

Queens Park Rangers have convinced Isaac Hayden to join their Championship struggle. The Newcastle United midfielder moves to Loftus Road on loan for the remainder of the season, with the Rs in serious relegation bother. “It is obvious to see the position the club are in at the moment but it is a challenge that I feel I can add some value to,” he says. “I feel very happy, very pleased to be joining QPR.”

How Blackburn announced the Billy Koumetio deal. The estate of Ennio Morricone should have a word.

Rangers sign Lens winger Cortes

Blackburn Rovers have signed Liverpool defender Billy Koumetio on loan until the end of the season. The 21-year-old, who has played twice for the Reds, had recently returned to Anfield after spending the early part of the season on loan at French Ligue 2 side Dunkerque. The deal is subject to international clearance.

The aforementioned Kevin van Veen to Kilmarnock loan deal has been confirmed. If the Dutch striker makes his Killie debut this weekend, he’ll be doing so at Fir Park, home of Motherwell, for whom he scored so many times last season. Lovely tasty delicious juicy narrative.

At the London Stadium, West Ham have equalised against Bournemouth. Lloyd Kelly tripped Mohammed Kudus in the box, and thought he’d got away with it only for VAR to intervene. James Ward-Prowse made like Ray Stewart and battered the penalty down the middle. It’s 1-1.

West Bromwich Albion have signed Mikey Johnston on loan. The Celtic winger joins for the remainder of the Championship campaign. “I think the deal has been rumbling on since the start of the window, so I’m just happy to get it over the line,” the Republic of Ireland international tells his new club’s website.

Kevin van Veen is set to join Kilmarnock on loan. Van Veen scored 29 goals for Motherwell last season before falling out with the club and leaving for second-tier Dutch side Groningen. Desirous of returning to Scotland to be with his family, the 29-year-old became the subject of a three-way battle for his signature, and Killie have fended off Motherwell and St Mirren for his signature.

More from Ben Fisher regarding spendthrifts and transfer-deadline-day-specialists Nottingham Forest. “Orel Mangala and Brandon Aguilera are most likely heading out tonight, with Strasbourg’s Belgian international keeper Matz Sels incoming.” Forest had reportedly enquired about Liverpool reserve keeper Caoimhin Kelleher but were knocked back on that one.

CJ Egan-Riley has left Burnley for PSV Eindhoven. The 21-year-old defender, formerly of Manchester City and Hibernian, joins the 1988 European Cup winners on loan until the end of the season.

Hibernian have signed two 20-year-old centre-backs on loan: Nectarios Triantis from Sunderland and Owen Bevan from Bournemouth. Both will stay at Easter Road until the end of the season. Australia under-23 international Triantis played under Hibs head coach Nick Montgomery during Central Coast Mariners’ A-League title-winning season, while Bevan’s arrival is the first fruit of the Hibees’ new relationship with the Cherries. “Our relationship with Bournemouth allowed us to look closely at their young players, and Owen was one that stood out instantly,” Montgomery says.

Deadline day: the big deals so far

Enes Ünal continues to edge ever closer to Bournemouth. Our man Ben Fisher reports that the deal “is (all but) done, Kieffer Moore’s loan to Ipswich paving the way for Unal to come in from Getafe on loan”. The 26-year-old Turkish international has been scoring for the Azulones at a rate of one in three, give or take.

Bertrand Traore is leaving Aston Villa. The 28-year-old Burkina Faso forward has terminated his contract with the club and is off to join Villarreal.

Of course, new signings aren’t a guaranteed panacea for one’s ills. By way of illustration, West Ham recently welcomed Kalvin Phillips into the fold, and practically his first touch for the club has set up a goal … for Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke. The Cherries lead 1-0 at the London Stadium.

Elsewhere in Scotland, Rangers are hoping to get Lens winger Oscar Cortes through the door. The young Colombia international is expected to join on loan for the remainder of the campaign. Meanwhile 20-year-old Rangers full-back Adam Devine heads to Motherwell on loan for the rest of the season.

The transfer window shuts at 11pm in England. Scotland has gifted itself an extra half an hour, mind, and that’s where we head next, as St Johnstone have landed 25-year-old striker Adama Sidibeh from Northern Premier League club Warrington Rylands. He joins for an undisclosed fee on a contract until May 2026.

Thanks Niall. [takes receipt of baton, sighs, hauls oneself up for one last push] Can’t go on? Let’s go on!

Time for me to pass the transfer baton to Scott Murray, who will see you through to the bitter end, and the 11pm deadline …

Ipswich have confirmed the arrival of Kieffer Moore, on loan from Bournemouth. The Wales forward was previously at Portman Road from 2016-18, and Ipswich are reportedly paying 75% of his wages.

Just to clarify that Burnley have signed Maxime Estève on loan, not permanently – although Montpellier have wished him “the best of luck with your career”, which suggests this will be a permanent deal come summer.

Some big transfer news from the women’s game: Nigeria forward Asisat Oshoala has left Barcelona to join Bay FC, an expansion team in the NWSL based in San José, California.

“I just feel like I want something different. If you follow my career for a long time, you realise that I get easily bored,” Oshoala said. “I don’t really stay long in any place. I’ve played on a couple of continents and I feel like I want to play elsewhere.”

Marcus Rashford is in the Manchester United starting line-up as they face Wolves tonight. Follow that match here:

It wouldn’t be deadline day without Nottingham Forest making moves – and Fabrizio Romano reports they are chasing a late loan move for Ajax forward Chuba Akpom. The club have knocked back a formal bid, but the player is thought to want the move.

Orel Mangala is still expected to join Lyon, although the Ligue 1 club have about 12 deals they need to close by 10 o’clock tonight.

Maxime Estève has spoken about his move to Burnley. “I feel very good, I’m really happy and ever since I first heard about the move I wanted to move here,” he said.

“I have followed the Premier League since being a young child and had only pictured myself ever being here, so I am really excited. The manager spoke really positively about the project here and I just wanted to be a part of it straight away.”

Also, the biggest move of deadline day is now official … Mercedes have confirmed Lewis Hamilton will join Ferrari at the end of this season!

Burnley sign Montpellier defender Maxime Estève

Sky are reporting that Enes Ünal to Bournemouth is a done deal, but the club haven’t confirmed it – although they do have the small matter of a Premier League game tonight, at West Ham. The hosts have named Kalvin Phillips in their starting line-up with Maxwel Cornet – linked with a loan move to Palace tonight – on the bench.

Some breaking and somewhat surprising news from outside the world of transfers: Brighton Women head coach Melissa Phillips has left the club.

Luton have signed 18-year-old forward Taylan Harris from Reading for an undisclosed fee. “My aim is to play in the Premier League –every player in the world wants to do that,” Harris said. “This has given me an opportunity to do that and achieve that.”

“Taylan is technically very good. He is a winger or forward who is very quick, has a real eye for goal and likes a shot from range,” said the Hatters head of recruitment, Mick Harford. “We are looking forward to working with him and seeing how he develops.”

More on Adam Wharton joining Palace, for a fee that reportedly could rise to £22m.

The 19-year-old has signed a five-and-a-half-year deal at Selhurst Park, and is the club’s second January signing after Colombian right-back Daniel Muñoz. He will wear No 20 for the Eagles.

“I’m delighted that Adam, a player whose rapid development we have followed closely, has decided to join us,” said the Palace chairman, Steve Parish. “We believe Palace to be the perfect place to harness his undoubted potential.”

“I’ve always wanted to play in the Premier League and to play for such a big club like Crystal Palace is a great honour,” Wharton said. “The way they’ve brought players from the Championship and developed them into world-class players is something that stood out to me, and it’s a big reason why I wanted to come here.”

If you’re seeing Laporte and Inter Miami trending on Twitter, it’s nothing to do with transfers …

“I know he’s not a big name but Ajdin Hrustic is Australia’s most skilful player and he’s been sidelined at Hellas Verona, losing his national team place in the process,” writes Ajdin Hrus Matthew Stephens. “Have you heard any news of a possible transfer?”

Well, we don’t usually take requests – but according to my sources (Twitter) he could join Ascoli on loan before the Italian deadline – which is coming up in about 20 minutes.
