  1. 'We'll know after tonight'published at 22:06 BST

    Deadline day

    Stoke City

    Stoke City first-team coach Ryan Shawcross, speaking to BBC Radio Stoke about Sorba Thomas and transfer speculation: "It's not ideal. After tonight, we'll know what the 25-man squad looks like.

    "The most important thing is that, when that is announced in the coming days, it's got 25 players who want to be at the club."

  2. DONE DEAL: Millwall sign Stevenage goalkeeper Marschallpublished at 22:04 BST

    Deadline day

    Millwall have completed the signing of goalkeeper Filip Marschall from Stevenage for an undisclosed fee.

    The 23-year-old joined the League One club from Aston Villa in July 2025 following multiple loan spells at Gateshead, MK Dons and Crewe.

    Marschall has made 53 appearances for Stevenage in that time, keeping 19 clean sheets.

    Lincoln City have signed right-back Daniel Oyegoke from Italian Serie B club Hellas Verona for an undisclosed fee.

    The 23-year-old former England youth international played for the Arsenal and Brentford academy teams and had loan spells with MK Dons and Bradford City before moving to Hearts in 2024.

    Oyegoke joined Hellas Verona in January 2025 and made 22 appearances for the club.

    He has signed a four-year contract with the Imps.

  4. More deals to come?published at 21:52 BST

    Deadline day

    It is now full-time in all the EFL games taking place this evening.

    Follow all the reaction here:

    With the matches now over, we can perhaps expect more news to come in from clubs about last-minute deals they've managed to get over the line, for better or worse...

  5. 'Reyes Cleary timing would be a shame'published at 21:48 BST

    Deadline day

    I went to have a look at who Ben Hamed Toure is. The bulk of the description was 'he was once forgotten by the team bus'.

    What an opportunity now, at Barnsley, to add some different things to his Wikipedia entry by scoring loads of goals, winning promotions and games and making that a funny aside to some glory in England for the Reds.

    It's pretty obvious what's going on with Reyes Cleary. You don't hand a transfer request in, as was reported, without trying to make something happen.

    We've contacted the club and they've not denied it. I understand a Championship club seems to have been interested.

    It's going to be an interesting few days because we've been here before with Barnsley, when there's nothing you can do to bring anybody else in.

    It will be a shame if he goes and they don't have time to do anything else.

  6. 'Sorba who?'published at 21:42 BST

    Not much commitment from the wealthy owners in the EFL.

  7. 'Do something, Cardiff'published at 21:39 BST

    Get Involved

    Come On, CARDIFF - either get the chequebook, dip into the loan market or see if there is somebody out there without a club. But just do something.

    Khufu5288, Mountain Ash

    I have just read that Cardiff City are not bringing in any players today even though they need three. Brian Barry-Murphy has been misleading the supporters for the past few weeks - including last weekend - saying that these players were coming when he obviously knew they weren't.

  8. 'Swindon want Drinan to be talisman'published at 21:33 BST

    Deadline day

    Andrew Hawes
    BBC News, Wiltshire

    New Swindon signing Antwoine Hackford is a pacy striker who came through the Sheffield United academy, went to Wimbledon last year and was also largely on the bench there.

    He's not a traditional goalscorer, but perhaps someone who can come and stretch defences, run around and try to press and lead the closing down.

    He's got about 70 games under his belt, but I think fewer than 20 of those are starts in his league career. So he's looking for somewhere to really get a solid, consistent starting starting place.

    With four forwards, I'm not guaranteeing it, but he'll certainly be a useful addition and has some experience in a fairly young squad.

    Aaron Drinan signing a new deal is quite unusual in the sense that, if I've got my maths right, he'll be turning 33 at the end of his contract, so he's pretty much committing the rest of his career to Swindon.

    He only signed a new deal until 2028 in January, so it shows the value Swindon have put on him.

    It would appear Swindon want him to be their talisman for the foreseeable future, to hopefully drag them from the bottom end of the division and back up the league.

  9. Postpublished at 21:31 BST

    Let's bring you some reaction to the news from earlier that Swindon Town striker Aaron Drinan, who has scored 30 goals in 99 league appearances since joining the Robins, has signed a new deal to stay at the League Two club until 2030...

    Brazilian defender Morato was unveiled as a new West Ham player in front of fans at the London Stadium tonight.

    The 25-year-old has completed a deadline day loan move from Nottingham Forest.

    The Hammers are beating fellow relegated club Wolves 4-2 at the moment.

  11. Baggies' business could be finishedpublished at 21:19 BST

    Deadline day

    With under two hours to go, it is highly unlikely that West Bromwich Albion will sign a striker on deadline day.

    The Baggies looked at Cameron Archer earlier in the transfer window but were unwilling to compromise on their new wage policy, which has helped significantly reduce the salary bill in recent seasons.

    I understand that, for the sake of making a signing, they do not want to alter the strategy that has built a younger, hungrier squad, and the club are satisfied with the 10 signings they have made this summer.

  12. Midfielder Lee departs Wrexhampublished at 21:15 BST

    Deadline day

    Wrexham have terminated the contract of midfielder Elliot Lee by mutual consent.

    The 31-year-old joined the Red Dragons from Luton Town in the summer of 2022 and played a starring role in the club's rapid rise up the football pyramid, winning three promotions during his Wrexham career.

    Manager Phil Parkinson said: "I'd like to thank Elliot for what he has done for this football club.

    "He has been a great player for us here at Wrexham and has made a significant contribution to the club's rise through the divisions.

    "He is at the stage now where he is eager to go and play and get some minutes, and whoever gets him will get a player who still has a lot to offer."

  13. Ins and outs at Swansea?published at 21:10 BST

    Deadline day

    Swansea City

    Swansea City are enjoying a strong start to the Championship season but they have also been busy on deadline day.

    The Swans are still in the market for a centre-back and have made Strasbourg's Soumaila Coulibaly their top target.

    There are also potential outgoings with Zeidane Inoussa poised to join Portsmouth on loan for the remainder of the season, while Ronald could depart for Millwall.

    Not to mention the noise around Zan Vipotnik's future which won't go away until the window closes.

  14. Will Boro complete winger deals?published at 21:06 BST

    Middlesbrough have been working on a deal to sign Brighton winger Amario Cozier-Duberry on loan from Brighton, while Morgan Whittaker could be set to leave for MLS side Colorado Rapids.

    Cozier Duberry, 21, scored 10 goals in 41 games in all competitions last season for Bolton Wanderers.

    Whittaker, 25, has scored 14 goals and provided nine assists in 66 games for Boro since arriving from Plymouth in January 2025.

    To the Saints fan (17:00): Azaz and Whittaker often went ‘missing’ in tough Middlesbrough games. I would be more worried about your coach’s future at the moment.

    Brighton have agreed a deal to sign Nigeria winger Femi Azeez from Millwall.

    The 25-year-old scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in 37 games last season, earning a place in the PFA Championship team of the year.

    Azeez has been pushing for a move to the Premier League, with Millwall rejecting at least three bids from the Seagulls in recent weeks.

    His departure would be a club record sale for Millwall, who are set to receive an initial £12.5m - potentially rising past £15m with add-ons.

    Read more on that here.

    Southampton

    Southampton winger Samuel Edozie is one player who has been trying to find a move on deadline day.

    The 23-year-old handed in public transfer request on Instagram earlier today and said he had "multiple offers" from European clubs.

    Cardiff City have reportedly had a bid for Edozie rejected, while Saints turned down a £1.7m offer from another club earlier in the window.

    It remains to be seen if Edozie gets the move he wants before 23:00 BST.

    Any defenders for West Ham?

    Hammers won't win anything with Kilman at the back. He's a startled rabbit in the headlights. We're selling our best defenders, then expecting goals from insipid forwards. What credentials does Nuno have? He's been sacked from every club he's been at, yet here we are.

    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.
