Just hearing that Marcos Rojo is on his way to Merseyside to complete his move from Manchester United to Everton.
Simon Jones: Stoke City midfielder Badou Ndiaye is in talks to join Premier League new boys Sheffield United.
The 28-year-old Senegal international was on loan at Galatasaray last season and has been linked with Everton in recent months.
Craig Hope: Newcastle United will sign Andy Carroll today. Medical checks done. One year deal agreed. Low basic wage with incentives to play.
Simon Jones: Marcos Rojo is still in Manchester as Everton and United try to reach an agreement on the defender’s transfer.
As Sportsmail reported this morning, Everton had hoped for a loan deal for the Argentina international owing to his lack of game time in recent seasons but United are pushing for a permanent deal.
The clubs have still to find a common ground but negotiations are continuing. However, they have not advanced enough for Rojo to travel to Everton’s training ground in preparation as yet.
Sami Mokbel: Wilfried Zaha reported for training at Crystal Palace this morning – but didn’t train with the first team. He did, though, train in the gym. Make of that what you will.
Adrian Kajumba: Wilfried Zaha’s future was thrown into further doubt after he sat out of Crystal Palace training today.
Zaha did report to the club’s Bromley HQ this morning, allaying Palace fears that he would ramp up his attempts to leave, following his transfer request yesterday, with a deadline day no-show.
But he did not take part in the session with the rest of Roy Hodgson’s first team and instead did a short session in the gym before returning home.
Meanwhile, Palace are in for Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose. Roy Hodgson is desperate for more firepower ahead of today’s deadline.
Pete Jenson: Manchester City are signing another full-back. Girona’s highly-rated 19-year-old right back Pedro Porro will arrive from the Spanish side who were relegated last season, and then be sent out on loan to Ronaldo’s Valladolid for a season.
Craig Hope: I understand Newcastle defender Kelland Watts is travelling to Stevenage ahead of a proposed loan move. Highly-rated 19-year-old who has been in and around the first team this summer. Only ever heard very good things about him.
Our reporter Chris Wheeler reporting that United have ended their interest in signing Mario Mandzukic from Juventus as they look to replace Romelu Lukaku.
The deal has collapsed over the fee demanded by Juventus.
Simon Jones: Fulham have stepped up interest in Cardiff City’s 26-year-old attacking midfielder Bobby Reid who had looked poised to return to former club Bristol City earlier today.
Sami Mokbel: Saido Berahino will join Belgian club Zulte Waregem following his release from Stoke. Sportsmail revealed he was training with Zulte last month.
Mike Keegan: Danny Drinkwater’s loan move from Chelsea to Burnley is edging closer to completion. Should be done by the end of the day.
Simon Jones: Burnley and Chelsea are working on a compromise over Danny Drinkwater’s salary to help push the midfielder’s loan deal through.
Burnley have also considered Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama. The Kenya international looks likely to stay for the time being though may consider foreign options once the UK window closes.
Sami Mokbel: Kieran Tierney’s arrived at London Colney to complete his £25million move to Arsenal. Just David Luiz to rubber-stamp now.
Brighton have completed the signing of Romaric Yapi from Paris Saint-Germain for an undisclosed fee.
Yapi, 19, is a right-back and has agreed a one-year deal at the Amex Stadium with a one-year extension option.
Bruno Fernandes is training with Sporting Lisbon as his chances of a Premier League move to either Tottenham or Manchester United fade.
If you want to keep up to date with every transfer completed by the 20 Premier League clubs this summer, they’re all here.
Sami Mokbel: Watford are showing strong late interest in Danny Rose. Tottenham saying no at the moment.
But with Ryan Sessegnon, who is due to arrive at the Spurs training ground imminently, set to sign – Rose could yet leave.
Craig Hope: Andy Carroll is in line for a return to Newcastle United on an incentivised pay deal.
The striker has been a free agent since his release from West Ham at the end of last season but we understand he is desperate to sign for his hometown club and talks have opened.
Newcastle United have completed the signing of defender Emil Krafth from Ligue 1 side Amiens for an undisclosed fee.

A touted move to Sunderland is off the cards for the 24-year-old who spent last season on loan at Kilmarnock

Midfielder Badou N’Diaye also has late interest from Premier League clubs.
Tottenham’s attempts to sign Juventus forward Paulo Dybala have collapsed.
Spurs were looking to complete a stunning late deal for the Argentine international on deadline day but negotiations have been called off.
It was thought that Dybala’s demands may prove too difficult too accommodate with Manchester United also finding them a sticking point in their own negotiations with the 25-year-old earlier this summer.
Joe Bernstein: Stoke’s only business on deadline day is likely to be bringing in Tottenham centre-half Cameron Carter-Vickers on loan. That would free up Bruno Indy Martins to leave the club later in the month when the European transfer windows are still open.
Sami Mokbel: Watford are in talks to sign Germany defender Marvin Plattenhardt from Hertha Berlin. A fee has agreed between the clubs and work on thrashing out personal terms is underway.
Simon Jones: Cardiff City are in talks to sign 22-year-old Le Havre forward Alimani Gory.
The Championship club are understood to have upset Le Havre with their approach for the left-sided attacking midfielder and the deal was in doubt earlier this week but he is understood to be on his way to Wales after the clubs agreed a £2million fee.
Cardiff have interest from Bristol City in their midfielder Bobby Reid.
Tottenham are holding further talks with the representatives of Juventus forward Paulo Dybala but are understood to be pessimistic about reaching an agreement at this stage.
Midfielder Sam Field and forward Jonathan Leko have completed moves from West Brom to Charlton on season-long loans
Craig Hope: I’m told that Crystal Palace are desperate to bring in CSKA Moscow striker Fedor Chalov but the Russian club are holding out for more money.
Nick Harris: Transfer deadline days have invariably been the dampest of squibs in recent years but it seems like this one might be shaping up as a zinger. And that’s just at Tottenham.
Across the Premier League as a whole, it’s shaping up to be a record-breaking window. As of 10am today (see table), the 20 clubs combined had spent £1.263 BILLION gross on new players this summer.
The Hungarian international defensive midfielder joins the Championship side from Bologna
Simon Jones: Tottenham defender Cameron Carter-Vickers is heading to Stoke City on loan.

Simon Jones: Tottenham are holding further talks with the representatives of Juventus forward Paulo Dybala but are understood to be pessimistic about reaching an agreement at this stage.
Craig Hope: I’m told that Chelsea want £5million for centre-back Michael Hector, and Sheffield Wednesday are still trying to negotiate a deal for the player who spent last season on loan at Hillsborough.
Bristol City and Fulham have also expressed an interest in the 27-year-old, although the latter are only interested in a loan deal.

The 20-year-old box to box midfielder impressed on loan at Rochdale last season and they have shown interest again as have Peterborough United and crisis club Bolton Wanderers.
Simon Jones: Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah is joining Leeds United on a season loan.
The 20-year-old is due in Yorkshire for his medical after rejecting an offer from Bristol City.
Sami Mokbel: Small line from Stoke – several Premier League and Championship sides are showing an interest in taking Tyrese Campbell – son of former Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin.
Scott Hogan’s arrival at Stoke has pushed the youngster down the pecking order and a number of clubs are plotting moves for the 19-year-old.
Adrian Kajumba: Little update on Wilfried Zaha. Just a ‘man goes to work’ one but in the case of Zaha it’s worth noting.
Palace were concerned whether he would step up his attempts to leave after handing in a transfer request by staying away from training today but he is on his way in now.
Will it be his last day at Palace? Will depend on Everton and if they can make Palace an offer that is too good to turn down, one worth more than the £80m Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire.
If not, Palace will stand firm and hold onto their star man.
Adrian Kajumba: The focus at Southampton is on offloading players. The main three Ralph Hasenhuttl wants to move on are Charlie Austin, Mario Lemina and Guido Carillo.
All three have been frozen out, training with the under-23s and, as it stands, have been left out of Southampton’s provisional Premier League squad.
Optimism last night that a deal could be done for Austin looks well-founded as West Brom have come in for him. West Brom are also hoping to get Grady Diangana on loan.
Others Southampton are happy to move on are Wesley Hoedt, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Sofiane Boufal and goalkeepers Fraser Forster and Alex McCarthy.
Tottenham are closing in on the signing of Paulo Dybala from Juventus, according to reports. An agreement for the 25-year-old Argentina striker is very close.
Adrian Kajumba: This Paulo Dybla to Spurs deal is so intriguing. The whisper going around last night was the fee being talked about was around £50m. The big issue will be the Argentinian’s wage demands and the image rights issue. Can chairman Daniel Levy really pull it off?
