Manchester United have failed in their attempts to sign highly-rated midfielder Louis Page from Leicester City.

United's interest in Page was first reported by BBC Sport in August.

However, the first sign of a problem was Page being named in Leicester's starting line-up for their League One fixture against Plymouth on Tuesday.

It was then confirmed by sources the deal will not be concluded and Page will remain a Leicester player.

It is understood the Foxes wanted well in excess of £10m for the 18-year-old, who only made his first team debut in August 2025, but has already carved out an impressive reputation, making 25 appearances in total.

It was anticipated United were willing to loan Page straight back to Leicester, given they have already spent in excess of £150m on international midfielders this summer.

One club we haven't discussed much today is Manchester United.

Let's see what's happening at Old Trafford...

Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini on Sunderland's deal for Kevin Danso:

"I think they are sensible signings."

"They're not going to make the blood rush through the veins of Sunderland supporters as far as attacking options or how dynamic they are but you need players like this to build your team around so that the Enzo Le Fees and the [Chris] Riggs and the [Noah] Sadikis can go and be a little bit more expansive."

"So, yes, another solid signing which we've made quite a number of those over the last couple of years."

Tottenham have agreed a £2.5m loan deal for Kevin Danso to join Sunderland for the remainder of the season.

The Wearside club will have a £22.5m obligation to buy fee if Regis Le Bris' side stay in the Premier League.

The 27-year-old has not featured in the Premier League this season under Roberto de Zerbi, but he scored in his League Cup appearance against Charlton Athletic.

Chelsea

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has completed a season-long loan to Como.

Sanchez started Chelsea's opening Premier League game at Fulham but wasn't named in the squad in Sunday's win over Brighton with Emi Martinez joining from Aston Villa.

Earlier we brought you the news that Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was undergoing a medical at Italian side Como.

Well, we have some news on that front...

Fulham are in advanced talks to sign David Affengruber from Elche, but with work still to be done.

The Austria international, 25, is keen on a move to Craven Cottage where officials are confident of completing a move before Tuesday's deadline.

It would be the third potential addition of the day, alongside two midfielders - Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Larsson and Real Madrid's Miguel Angel, who have both been completing medicals in London.

They are also looking at potentially adding a right-back before the deadline.

Ask Me Anything

Clubs sometimes conclude deals at the last minute and it is not always easy for them to get everything completed and sent over by the deadline.

The deal sheet allows a club to confirm that a deal has been reached in order to allow for additional time to submit the remaining documentation.

For a deadline of 23:00, the deal sheet cannot be used before 21:00 and needs to arrive fully completed before the transfer window closes.

Once the sheet arrives, clubs have got another two hours, or until 01:00, in which to submit the full paperwork.

WAHHHH.

This is your three-hour klaxon.

The Premier League transfer window will shut in three hours time. There's still plenty of time for those last-minute deals to get over the line. And of course still time to get a deal sheet prepped...

Crystal Palace have seen an initial approach for Mainz midfielder Kaishu Sano turned down.

The Eagles’ intimated they would be willing to pay around £25million for the Japan international, which is below the German club’s valuation.

Not loads going on here, is there?

Remember we're still waiting for updates on Jack Grealish's return to Everton, confirmation of Iliman Ndiaye's move to Manchester City and Enzo Fernandez's switch from Chelsea to City.

Could there be a big last-minute transfer that catches us all off guard?

It kind of doesn't feel like it's coming but you never know.

Someone get tracking some flights or something...
