Transfer news LIVE: Deadline day latest as Arsenal loan Raheem Sterling, Chelsea chase Jadon Sancho but lose Victor Osimhen

New signing Joao Felix is ‘player that will help us’ says Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca

The transfer window faced a frantic conclusion as Premier League clubs scrambled to complete last-minute business up to – and after – the 11pm deadline.

Arsenal were still hoping to get a loan deal over the line for Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling in a sensational switch between the London rivals. The Independent reported that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is an admirer of Sterling from their days at Manchester City, and the deal was understood to have been completed after talks late on Friday night.

Chelsea wanted to sign a striker, but top option Victor Osimhen turned down their wage offer in favour of staying at Napoli, while Ivan Toney is set to move to Saudi side Al-Ahli in a £40m transfer from Brentford.

Instead, Chelsea and Manchester United are set to agree to a deal for winger Jadon Sancho, who is expected to depart Old Trafford. United also finally finished off a move for PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte, after Scott McTominay was sold to Napoli.

Wolves signed a trio of players, Nottingham Forest captured James-Ward Prowse on loan, as Everton tried to seal Armando Broja from Chelsea and Fulham chased Reiss Nelson from Arsenal into the small hours.

Still to come…

We are still expecting Raheem Sterling’s loan from Chelsea to Arsenal to be completed, and Jadon Sancho’s move from Manchester United to Chelsea should also be confirmed tonight (soon to be this morning in the UK). They are the two big ones we are waiting on.

Then there is Armando Broja, who looks set to join Everton on loan from Chelsea, and Reiss Nelson, heading to Fulham from Arsenal, again on loan. Maxwel Cornet’s loan move from West Ham to Southampton should also be confirmed overnight. Trevor Chalobah from Chelsea to Crystal Palace on loan is thought to be another.

That’s six of the nine…

Ivan Toney heading to Saudi Arabia after Brentford accept Al-Ahli bid

Brentford have accepted a £40m offer from Al-Ahli for Ivan Toney.

England forward Toney has attracted interest from Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, but is now set for a medical ahead of completing a move to the Saudi Pro League outfit.

The 28-year-old has one year left on his Brentford deal and has yet to feature in a Bees matchday squad this season ahead of a potential move away from West London.

Raheem Sterling’s Arsenal loan set to go ahead

Raheem Sterling is set to join Arsenal from Chelsea on loan after the final details were agreed between the two London clubs.

The Independent understands that Arsenal will not have to pay a loan fee for the winger, and will pay less than 50 per cent of his staggeringly high wages. It seems like a pretty good deal for all parties, though whether Sterling will get significant game time, up against Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard for a place on the left wing, remains to be seen.

Manchester United sign PSG’s Manuel Ugarte for initial £42m: ‘I will sacrifice and give everything’

The Uruguay international, whose fee could rise by a further £8.5m if add-ons are triggered, has signed a five-year contract at Old Trafford after passing a medical.

He joined as Scott McTominay ended his 22-year association with United by moving to Napoli for £25.7m, with the FA Cup winners also having a 10 percent sell-on clause.

Chelsea have submitted deal sheet for Sancho

Sky Sports reports that Chelsea “have submitted [the] deal sheet in their bid to sign Jadon Sancho, meaning they have until 1am to complete a deal for the Manchester United forward”.

That is another deal that looks like it should be going ahead.

Sterling latest

The Independent’s Miguel Delaney reports that the relevant documents were sent in time, so the “deadline shouldn’t be a problem”.

Sterling looks set to join Arsenal as long as everything goes ahead as planned.

Deals announced in the Premier League

Deals are still being announced in the top flight, with James Ward-Prowse having just joined Forest on loan.

Meanwhile, Forest have also completed the signing of Benfica defender Morato for £15m.

In addition, Aguerd has joined Real Sociedad from West Ham.

Fabrizio Romano was correct about that move to Fulham for Ernest Nuamah – that is off, with the winger staying at Lyon.

Giovani Lo Celso has left Spurs for Real Betis, while Fulham have submitted a last-minute deal sheet for Reiss Nelson, who ended up rejecting Ipswich.

Transfer window – what happens next?

Thought the window is technically shut, clubs get an additional hours to complete deals if they have submitted a ‘deal sheet’.

A deal sheet is a document that confirms that an agreement has been reached before the 11pm deadline, but at the same time requires additional time to be sealed.

According to Sky, “deal sheets must be fully completed and submitted after 9pm but before the 11pm deadline”.

“However, international transfers must be completed by 12am – the deadline set by FIFA”.
