Ian Watson

Ulloa, Townsend, Gabbiadini & Sakho: On the move?

See how Deadline Day with TEAMtalk unfolded as clubs across the country attempted to strengthen their squads before the transfer window closes at 11pm…

0:00: And that’s a wrap! A frantic last couple of hours has made for quite an eventful Deadline Day where we will still await confirmation of Mamadou Sakho’s loan move from Liverpool to Crystal Palace. Thanks for joining our live coverage and be sure to check back in with us in the morning for a round-up of all the late movements.

11:33: As if by magic…

11:29: What are we waiting for? We’re looking for official confirmation that Crystal Palace have signed Mamadou Sakho on loan from Liverpool and the whopping £12million deal taking Scott Hogan from Brentford to Aston Villa.

11:27: Bournemouth have indeed left it too late to complete a deal for Nathan Ake, with Chelsea rejecting an £18million bid.

11:09: Some late business at Norwich with Yanic Wildschut moving from Wigan for an undisclosed fee and on a deal until summer 2019.

11:05: Confirmation from West Brom about the late capture of Tony Pulis favourite Marc Wilson from Bournemouth.

11:03: Two last-gasp outgoings confirmed by Everton as Calum Dyson joins Grimsby and Leandro Rodriguez moves to Belgian side Waasland-Beveren.

11:00: And there it is! Another transfer window closes…Stick with us though as we bring you news of any late deals getting over the line….

10:57: Bournemouth have upped their bid for Nathan Ake to £18million. Surely too late to get that one over the line….

10:55: A late one over the line for Middlesbrough. The fee is reportedly £3.5m plus adds on up to £4million.

10:53: Tony Pulis loves a late deal! West Brom have taken Marc Wilson on loan from Bournemouth.

10:52: Yeovil bring in Swansea’s Owain Jones on loan.

10:50: Birmingham have completed some late business…(note – the word ‘loan’ will suffice for future reference!)

10:45: Sakho is done for Palace! A loan deal has been agreed with Liverpool. More to follow on this….

10:39: David Cotterill is back at Bristol City!

10:35: Two late exits at Arsenal as Marc Bola joins Notts County on loan and goalkeeper Matt Macey makes a similar switch to Luton.

10:32: Fee for Ben Marshall is thought to be £1.8million….

10:31: Some late outgoings at Everton as youngster Steven Kinsella has joined Dundalk on loan until the end of the League of Ireland season.

10:20: Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has confirmed his club have failed to agree a potential club record deal with Chelsea for defender Nathan Ake.

Nathan Ake: Bournemouth want him permanently

10:19: Another incoming at Hull as Alfred N’Diaye arrives from Villarreal on loan until the end of the season.

10:16: And Allardyce has confirmed Andros Townsend will definitely stay at Selhurst Park after Newcastle failed to match their asking price.

10:15: Palace boss Sam Allardyce has confirmed he’s still hopeful of securing a deal for Mamadou Sakho from Liverpool. Watch this space as they say….

Mamadou Sakho: Hasn't played for Liverpool since April

10:14: Ryan Hedges has joined Barnsley on a permanent deal, signing on a two-and-a-half year contract from Swansea. The 21-year-old has been on loan with Yeovil

10:13: An outgoing at Liverpool as youngster Jack Dunn joins Tranmere on loan for the rest of the season.

10:08: Leicester have finally got Molla Wague over the line. The defender arrives from Udinese after complicated negotiations that took the best part of 11 hours. He joins a struggling Foxes side on loan, with the option to make it permanent in the summer…

10:02: Southampton have done it! The biggest deal of deadline day as striker Manolo Gabbiadini signs from Napoli for a fee of £17.1million.

10:01: Reading have signed striker Lewis Grabban on loan from Bournemouth for the rest of the season.

9:56: A late deal wrapped up at Bournemouth, with the Cherries again looking to the future… England U19 goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, 18, has arrived from Sheffield United for a fee of around £1.1m and on a deal to 2021.

9:49: Crystal Palace have signed Luka Milivojevic on a three-and-a-half year deal for a fee of £12.5million. The Serbia midfielder joins from Olympiakos.

9:43: One in, one out at Swansea as Jordan Ayew arrives from Aston Villa, with the long-serving Neil Taylor moving the other way. Ayew has signed a three and a half year deal, with the Swans paying a cash adjustment on the deal.

9:34: QPR have brought Ravel Morrison back to the club from Lazio.

9:28: More late business at Wigan; this one from Hartlepool United.

9:19: There could be some late business at West Brom, with Tony Pulis’ side agreeing a deal to sign one of his former players, Marc Wilson, who is set to arrive on loan from Bournemouth.

9:17: Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul has completed a loan move to AZ Alkmaar.

9:07: Bournemouth have agreed a deal worth around £1.2m to sign Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale – still time for a few more deals, yet….

8:55: Better news for Hull though, with reports suggesting a deal has been agreed for Rennes winger Kamil Grosicki. The Polish star was linked with a £10m move to Everton over the summer…

Kamil Grosicki: Linked with a move to Everton

 

8:52: Watford’s Adlene Guedioura looks set to move to Middlesbrough, with a medical currently underway. The fee is around £4m, with the player turning down a rival approach from Hull.

8:48: Another winger signs for Leeds!

8: 37: A done deal at Burnley – and one of the biggest of deadline day! We reckon the fee for the Irishman is an eye-watering £12.8million. News first announced at half-time over the tannoy at Turf Moor!

8:32: Sheffield Wednesday are reported to have completed a £10m deal for Middlesbrough striker Jordan Rhodes. We await official confirmation….

8:17: Former Manchester United winger Gabriel Obertan has returned to the North-West – to sign a deal with Championship strugglers Wigan. Here he is looking like a man who once had it all….

7:58: Ronald Koeman hinted Arouna Kone could be off before the window shuts – and it seems he was right, with the striker closing on a switch to Crystal Palace.

7.55: One for TEAMtalk’s Bradford City contingent!

7:49: Norwich City have finalised the loan signing of Ajax left-back Mitchell Dijks. The Canaries were hoping to sign him on a permanent deal, but a loan deal has been struck.

7:44: An outgoing at Burnley. Oldham have signed 18-year-old midfielder Aiden O’Neill on loan until the end of the season

7:31: Nottingham Forest have also asked Aston Villa about the possibility of taking out-of-favour Ross McCormack from Aston Villa on a loan deal. We assume his house gates will open in time for any medical he has to undertake!

7:17: Watford have confirmed the sale of Odion Ighalo to Chinese side Changchun Yatai.

7:15: Looks like Nottingham Forest are ready to bolster their attack with some late business. With his surname – he couldn’t really sign anywhere else!

7:12: Fulham have agreed a deal to sign Ivory Coast striker Cyriac on loan from Oostende.

6:43: Reece Oxford has completed his loan move from West Ham to Reading.

6:33: A deadline day move for Andros Townsend is looking unlikelier than ever, as he’s arrived with the rest of the Crystal Palace squad for the game at Bournemouth.

6:14: Nottingham Forest are going a big Clough-crazy this week.

6:02: Looks like Sheffield Wednesday are gearing up their promotion bid. Boro’s Jordan Rhodes incoming.

5:49: Big news from Bournemouth, as the Independent report a £18million bid for Chelsea’s Nathan Ake.

5:42: Sunderland probably aren’t that desperate. They maybe should be, though…

5:29: News that is unlikely to make Leonardo Ulloa or Sunderland happy.

5:13: No official confirmation yet, but looks like Crystal Palace have bagged another.

5:11: Looks like a matter of time before Odion Ighalo finalises his move from Watford now.

5:04: Charlton have snapped up a youngster from Arsenal on loan.

4:54: Cross him off your list, Hull fans…

4:48: He doesn’t look entirely thrilled about it, mind!

4:45: Ashley Westwood swaps one claret and blue for another.

4:38: Can Klopp end his January hell tonight?

4:30: That’s what happens when you give Jeffrey Schlupp £56,000 a week…

 

4:10: Bristol City stick the boot into Rovers after signing “star striker Matt Taylor”…

 

4:05: They’re doing you a favour, Leonardo…

 

4pm: With Leeds getting Pedraza and Newcastle more hopeful of re-signing Townsend, where does that leave Mo Barrow? Swansea, presumably…

 

3:50: Not sure Leeds fans have forgiven the club for the ‘don’t go to bed just yet’ tweet two and a half years ago…

 

3:40: Some players are enjoying this as much as us…

 

3:35: Various sources reporting Scott Hogan is edging closer to becoming an Aston Villa player. The Brentford striker has had a medical at Bodymoor Heath and the finishing touches are being applied to deal worth in excess of £10million…

 

3:30: Some news from one of the big boys. Well, sort of…

 

3:15: There is almost nothing happening. Aside from Sunderland getting custard pie-d twice..

 

2:35: Premier League clubs shifting some deadwood…

 

2:20: Check your Sky Sources…

 

2:15: Not the one we’re waiting for from Southampton, but they’ve signed a back-up keeper…

 

2:05: Branislav Ivanovic’s nine years at Chelsea appear to be over…

2pm: Hardly a surprise, but good news for United all the same…

 

1:55: No Andrew Robertson for Burnley today, but…

 

13:30: The full story on ‘Golden Genes’ latest transfer.

 

13:20: Not Madrid, but Wigan for Alex Bruce. Almost the same…

 

13:15: Fight, fight, fight…

12:30: Last-ditch, indeed…

 

12:20: It is lunchtime. Get involved…

12:10: Always seemed strange that Hull might be prepared to let Robertson leave…

12:05: Vincent Janssen is indeed going nowhere…

 

12pm: Fifty-six thousand pounds per week…

 

11:50: This may mean absolutely nothing but, you know…

 

11:45: Is that Antoine Griezmann in the boot?

#welcomeGriezmann

 

11:35: Three league goals in 2017…

 

11:30: Manchester United legend heading back to England, will undergo a medical at Wigan…

 

11:22: We have an actual transfer! Plenty more to come from Hull today, you’d think…

 

11:20: Leeds mean business…

11:15: Bournemouth were linked with a bid for Nathan Ake but the Chelsea defender is with the squad ahead of tonight’s clash with Liverpool…

11:10: This, and Jack Whitehall was on earlier. Anyone would think there’s absolutely nothing happening…

 

10:55: Moussa Dembele has flown to London, it would seem. Though instead of travelling to hold talks with Chelsea, some sources are reporting the Celtic striker is in the Big Smoke for a scan on a knee injury…

 

10:50: The authority has spoken…

 

10:45: As seemed likely over recent days, PSG forward Jese has chosen Gran Canaria over Teesside…

 

10:35: It wouldn’t be Deadline Day without Emmanuel Adebayor getting involved. He’s joined Turkish outfit Istanbul Basaksehir…

 

 

10:30: Mourinho will be pleased…

 

10:25: Chelsea director Michael Emenalo is in Italy, according to Sky Italia, who claim Torino striker Andrea Belotti is the subject of his interest.

The Blues are also linked with Inter Milan winger Jonathan Biabiany on loan and Sassuolo forward Domenico Berardi.

It’s almost as though everyone is guessing…

For all the latest whispers, check out Rumour Mill

Andrea Belotti: Wanted by Man Utd

10:20: Can’t be certain that at least one of these names isn’t made up…

 

10:15: Palace and Sunderland shopping in the ‘Whoopsie’ aisle…

 

10:10: A few West Ham fans might disagree with the last part of that statement…

 

10:00: Jose keeping his powder dry for the summer. Though there may be an exit or two, with Ashley Young the biggest name possibly heading out. The manager said on Sunday that he’d love to keep Young, but the lure of West Brom, Watford or Swansea may be too strong…

 

9:55: Another line from Leicester…

 

9:50: Awkward…

 

9:40: The West Ham starlet had been linked with a loan switch to Nottingham Forest, but…

 

9:30: Missed the morning papers? We’ve got you covered. Includes an interesting line on which other striker Chelsea might turn to today…

Paper Talk: Arsenal line up £47m raid; Chelsea striker swoop

 

9:20: #bienvenidoAlexBruce

 

9:00: Of the big boys, Chelsea could be busiest today. They appeared to have a clear run at Sead Kolasinac after Juventus pulled out yesterday but Schalke appear to be putting up a fight.

Sky Sports are reporting the Blues are interested in Celtic’s Moussa Dembele, but the Hoops won’t consider any offers under £40million.

One player maybe making the trek south from Parkhead might still be goalkeeper Craig Gordon, who was understood to be in two minds over a possible move to Stamford Bridge.

There is expected to be at least one exit from Chelsea today, with Branislav Ivanovic likely to join Zenit St Petersburg.

Cesc Fabregas, though, apparently won’t be joining West Ham. Of course he isn’t…

 

8:50: Wouldn’t be surprised to see Townsend head back to Tyneside. Not sure being back-up at Watford is what Krul had in mind at this stage in his career, but Ajax are desperate to end his unsuccessful loan spell to get him off the wage bill…

 

8:40: One done deal to get us started. Three league starts in a season and a half at Boro for this midfielder…

 

8:30: Good morning, and welcome to Deadline Day. Okay, we can’t lie and tell you it’s going to be the BEST EVER, but there’s still a lot of important business to be done, especially at the wrong end of the table. And there’s usually a surprise or two along the way….
