  1. Kone to Chelsea off

    Chelsea have been linked with Roma midfielder Manu Kone as a replacement for Enzo Fernandez, should the Argentine depart for Manchester City.

    Reports in Italy say that, though the deal was close, Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini has asked that Kone remain at the club.

    Our reporters are looking into this, and will have an update for you soon.

  2. Get Involved

    Honestly, I think Spurs would have had Ndiaye if Liverpool signed a Gakpo replacement. We made a good offer to Liverpool, but they don't want to sell, and rightly so. I still can't fathom why Spurs' board pivoted to Tosin and Mudryk, though.

  3. Souza joins Porto on loan

    Spurs have announced that Souza has joined Portuguese Primeira Liga side FC Porto on loan for the rest of the 2026/27 season.

    The full-back joined Tottenham from Brazilian Serie A side Santos in January.

    Souza made his debut off the bench against Manchester United at Old Trafford on 7 February and made four appearances last season.

  4. Get Involved

    Tottenham have done it again! No Gakpo, no Ndiaye, no goalscorer. Kane has left a vacuum that can’t be filled. They’ve got 16 hours to come up with someone or risk a season with loads of talent running around but no end result.

    It's now 12 hours left, since your message Mike, will Spurs get any deals over the line by the end of the day?

  5. Moore to spend season with Cologne in Bundesliga

    Tottenham winger Mikey Moore has joined Bundesliga side Cologne on a season-long loan deal.

    The 19-year-old academy graduate made his Premier League debut against Manchester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in May 2024.

    He featured in the team that won the Under-17 and Under-18 Premier League Cup double in 2022-23.

    Moore was also part of Spurs' Europa League-winning campaign during the 2024-25 season.

    What started as a very promising window for Spurs has now seemingly turned into a 'get whatever is available' window. It seems like the Gapko situation, and Man City coming in and usurping us (and then not doing the deal anyway!) had a very negative ripple affect on our business.

    Arsenal are re-assessing goalkeeper Tommy Setford’s future after a loan move to Las Palmas stalled.

    The 20-year-old had looked set to move to Spain on a temporary deal but it is understood talks have slowed and it now remains to be seen whether they can be revived.

    Sources indicate that there are other options for Setford ahead of the transfer deadline later today if the move to Spain doesn’t materialise.

    Chelsea midfielder Dario Essugo is no longer expected to join Hull City on loan despite recent talks.

    That option is now expected to be offer after the Tigers instead signed alternative midfield option Tim Iroegbunam from Everton.

    Essugo, a Portugal under-21s international, will likely stay at Chelsea or go to sister club Strasbourg to fill the final international loan spot available to the Stamford Bridge club.

  12. Get Involved

    Have to say - BlueCo get a lot of (justifiable) criticism but they’re selling well (again). This 2026 clear-out has seen around 30 players sold or loaned, generating at least £257m in permanent transfer fees plus loan fees and add-ons. If Enzo Fernández leaves for £120m+ - that’s nearly £400m!

  13. Chelsea's Guiu completes move to RB Leipzig

    Chelsea striker Marc Guiu has completed a permanent transfer to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

    The Spain Under-21 international exits Stamford Bridge after joining from his boyhood club Barcelona in 2024 for about £5m.

    Guiu played three matches during a short-lived loan spell at Sunderland last season and made 29 appearances in total for Chelsea.

    Six of his eight goals for the club came during Chelsea's Conference League-winning campaign in 2024-25.

    Guiu trained away from the main first-team group this summer amid expectations that he would leave Stamford Bridge.

    A Chelsea fan worried about Fernandez saga. It seems there's no way back for him at the club and even if he eventually join City today, I don't see us signing a good replacement from the look of things and it is something that could really affect our season. Sigh.

  15. Chelsea are drafting multiple scenarios

    Nizaar Kinsella
    BBC Sport Chelsea reporter

    Chelsea's transfer deadline day is complicated, with the club working through multiple scenarios, many of which revolve around the potential departure of Enzo Fernandez.

    Several of those scenarios involve Fernandez joining Manchester City for a fee expected to exceed Chelsea's initial £120m valuation, which would help fund a replacement.

    One of Chelsea's internal aims is to emerge from the transfer window able to argue that new manager Xabi Alonso's squad has improved despite losing the Argentina international to a direct rival.

    The midfielders known to be under consideration as potential replacements are Monaco's Lamine Camara and Roma's Manu Kone.

    They also retain the possibility of keeping Fernandez and it is certain to run late with the use of deal sheets probable.

    There are also a number of exits being plotted for fringe players.

    If I were a Man Utd fan I would be looking forward to this season even after a slow start. All they need is a strong left back and they will be top 4 no questions asked.

  17. Ones to watch - Joshua Zirkzee to Juventus

    Unless there is a very late, and unexpected, development around Marcus Rashford, it feels as if Manchester United's deadline-day business will centre around Joshua Zirkzee and the smaller deals they can do.

    Fiorentina wanted to take the Netherlands forward on loan, with an option to buy.

    United, ideally, would prefer to sell, or at least get a loan with an obligation.

    With no agreement possible, Fiorentina are now looking elsewhere.

    However, Juventus are keen on Zirkzee, although a move for the 25-year-old hinges on Canada forward Jonathan David leaving for Atletico Madrid.

    Zirkzee's exit might open the door for a left-back or a reinforcement in the forward department, although that too might initially be a loan.

    Man Utd fan. Would very much like to see a LB to join today, ideally an actual striker backup as well but I concede that's unlikely with Rashford, Cunha, and Mbeumo all capable of playing through the middle. Don't hold any hope of Man Utd actually doing business today however.

  19. Busy or quiet - what is Man Utd's deadline day going to look like?

    Simon Stone
    BBC Sport Manchester United reporter

    Manchester United fans could be forgiven for not quite knowing what to expect from transfer deadline day.

    Most think the club should be trying to sign a left-back as competition for Luke Shaw and make an addition in their striking department.

    However, amid the flurry of activity yesterday, United were absent from a large amount of speculation.

    Joshua Zirkzee, the most likely senior player to leave, was heavily linked to Serie A duo Fiorentina and Juventus, but it seems those exit doors are closing, with Everton’s Beto joining Fiorentina and Newcastle’s Nick Woltemade set for a medical with Juventus.

    An unused substitute in both Premier League games so far, the Netherlands forward will hope to secure a move, which could be the trigger for someone to come into Old Trafford.

    There has been lots of interest in youngster Harry Amass, United’s only other orthodox left-back, but the 19-year-old has yet to be given clearance to have a medical.

    A number of young players; striker Chido Obi, midfielder Jack Moorhouse, Wales youth international Gabriele Biancheri and Paraguay international Diego Leon were not involved in yesterday’s Premier League 2 victory over Leicester. It will be interesting to see how many of them are still United players by the end of the day.
