  1. Hull's Millar having medical at Birminghampublished at 14:31 BST

    Hull winger Liam Millar is having a medical at Birmingham ahead of a loan move.

    The 26-year-old had interest from Stoke and Preston but is due to move to St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park.

    Tigers boss Sergej Jakirovic did not rule out an exit before the deadline despite Millar's winner at Coventry on Saturday, which earned Hull a second win in their opening two Premier League games.

    Canada international Millar was understood to be open to a return to Preston after spending 2023-24 on loan at Deepdale but is now due to move to Birmingham.

    He moved to Hull from Basel in 2024 and has made 53 appearances, scoring five goals for the club.

  4. Everton recruiting like it's 2021published at 14:18 BST

    The news that Everton have directed their search for a new right-back towards Lyon's Ainsley Maitland-Niles may draw a wry grin or two from their supporters.

    Everton were in talks for the then-Arsenal defender on deadline day in 2021 before he opted to stay in north London. Six months later, Maitland-Niles joined Roma on loan before eventually leaving Arsenal for Lyon on a permanent deal 18 months later.

    It means that Everton's three-year search for a right-back could end by signing a player they first made an offer for five years ago.

    He would be half the price of Fulham's Kenny Tete, though, and with a better recent fitness record.

  5. Why are fees often undisclosed?published at 14:15 BST

    Ask Me Anything

    Undisclosed transfer fees are really just a way of clubs keeping their cards close to their chest.

    It means rivals do not know how much of their transfer budget Team A have spent, nor do they now how much Team B have to re-invest in a replacement player.

    It all seems quite pointless in the modern era, where we generally get to hear about most transfer fees through agents or other sources.

    Then there are the deals done with overseas clubs which are listed on the stock market, such as by Lyon and Juventus.

    A Premier League club might list a deal as undisclosed, then the other club has to tell the stock market the exact fee and any variables. There's even less point in the English club holding back the details of the deal, but they still do.

  6. Fulham agree deals for Larsson and Angelpublished at 14:10 BST

    Fulham have agreed deals to sign Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson for €25m and Manuel Angel on undisclosed fee from Real Madrid.

    Both players have permission to do a medical.

    Angel will be the third signing from from Cottager's manager Alvaro Arbeloa's former club, after 22-year-old Gonzalo Garcia for £34m and 21-year-old Cesar Palacios for £8.5m

  8. Why are players so expensive, so high this summer?published at 14:03 BST

    Football finance expert speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live

    There certainly seems to be a lot of inflation in the market, we saw record levels of spending last season.

    But I think we have a unique set of circumstances in the summer of 2026, in the sense that five of what we refer to as the big six clubs have got new managers.

    It's their first window, they'll be trying to mould teams and squads into the vision of football that they want - that will come at a significant cost.

    We've had six teams in the Champions League for the first time ever. The rewards of the Champions League are very very high, and what we've also seen this summer is the circulatory of transfers in that there has been a much higher proportion of Premier League to Premier League deals and that puts money into the coffers of the receiving club, allowing them to spend, and that creates a ripple across the market.

    Manchester City and Chelsea have entered into final negotiations over the sale of Enzo Fernandez.

    Talks over the fee are now said to be advancing with City prepared to meet Chelsea’s minimum £120m valuation.

    The final agreement is also subject to Chelsea signing a replacement for Fernandez with Lamine Camara and Manu Kone among the options explored.

  10. Ones to watch - Julian Alvarez to Barcelona or Arsenalpublished at 13:56 BST

    Julian Alvarez's potential move to Arsenal could be the biggest deal to watch, with the Atletico Madrid striker's future now hanging in the balance.

    The 26-year-old is caught between his desire to leave Atletico and the club's refusal to sell him to Barcelona. But they would do a deal with Arsenal.

    The Gunners have had a long-term interest in Alvarez and have been monitoring the dramatic situation, with Atleti looking for a fee of 150m euros (£128m).

    Alvarez has missed multiple training sessions and did not travel to face Sevilla on Saturday, with Simeone saying he wasn't well enough.

    Simeone, meanwhile, has attempted to keep the door open, saying he will "do everything" he can to make Alvarez feel important when he returns to training.

    If Arsenal don't strengthen their attack, will see this window as a failure. We desperately need some pace in the team.

  15. Palace and Chelsea get creative to make Ahanor deal workpublished at 13:40 BST

    Dale Johnson
    Football issues correspondent

    Honest Ahanor's loan move to Crystal Palace is an interesting one.

    It comes after the 18-year-old Italy international agreed to sign for Chelsea from Atalanta.

    But to work within the Premier League loan regulations, the deal had to be structured in a certain way.

    Here's what went down.

    The Premier League allows a maximum of two loans from English or Welsh clubs, and only one from any one club.

    Palace had already maxed out domestically - Axel Disasi is on loan from Chelsea, and Evann Guessand from Aston Villa.

    So, how could the Eagles sign Ahanor? By doing an international loan.

    Even though there are pictures of Ahanor signing for Chelsea, he is technically not their player until the summer of 2027.

    So Palace can legitimately loan the defender from the Serie A club.

    Given the widely accepted knowledge that Liverpool need a quality defensive midfielder- and a dedicated right winger to suit Iraola's system- I'm disappointed that it seems there's nothing going on today. However I do believe that a good coach should be able to improve players instead of simply buying

  18. Elliott expected to join Valencia on loanpublished at 13:24 BST

    Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott is expected to join Valencia on loan for the rest of the season.

    The 23-year-old spent last season on loan at Aston Villa but made only one Premier League start for them.

    Valencia, who finished ninth in La Liga last season and did not qualify for Europe, had been working to find a financially viable way of making the loan deal work.

    Elliott is yet to undergo a medical at Valencia. La Liga's transfer window closes on Tuesday at 23:00 BST.

    The Spanish club want Liverpool to cover half of the midfielder's wages. It remains unclear what the exact wage split will be.

    Sources indicate there is no option or obligation for Valencia to buy Elliott in the terms of the loan deal.

    Chelsea striker Shim Mheuka is set to complete a season-long loan move to Celtic.

    The 18-year-old will soon travel to Scotland after undergoing a medical ahead of what would be his first senior loan spell.

    As first reported by BBC Sport, Mheuka has also signed a new Chelsea contract until 2033, committing his future to the club as he continues his development.

    Mheuka attracted interest from at least a dozen clubs this summer, including sides from Europe's top five leagues, Scotland, the Netherlands and the Championship.

    However, a move to Celtic Park was ultimately chosen after careful deliberation by Mheuka and Chelsea officials.
