The timing of Callum O'Hare leaving has been horrendous, but that's a by-product of the transfer window itself, not necessarily anything Sheffield United have or haven't done.

I personally think the fees involved are pretty good. It's just the timing of his departure that is going to irritate fans.

We can all understand why that might be given his contributions, both in terms of goals and assists over the course of the the past couple of seasons, and the little time it gives to try to find a replacement, which of course Sheffield United are currently trying to do.

But it follows on from Andre Brooks and Gus Hamer going, so the three most creative players last season are now no longer at the football club.

There's an awful lot of pressure on those that have come in to replace them, which at the moment it doesn't look as though they're going to do.

It's a big loss to lose the three players that have been most likely to get people off their seats at Bramall Lane recently.

It'll be fascinating to see if anybody comes in between now and the end of tonight, but they are three huge holes to fill.

You can't see them being directly replaced, but can Sheffield United get somebody in who can can offer something from an attacking perspective?

Burnley

Burnley have signed defender Igor Julio from Brighton & Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old Brazilian spent last season on loan at West Ham but made just four appearances.

He previously played 37 games for the Seagulls after arriving in 2023 from Italian club Fiorentina, where he was a Coppa Italia and Europa Conference League runner-up.

"I'm very happy to be here. Burnley is a great club, with lots of history and I'm pleased to be a part of it," Julio told the club website, external.

"Once I heard of the interest and spoke to the manager, I wanted to get the move done and I'm ready for this next chapter now in my career."

With all the transfer talk on deadline day, it's easy to forget there is also some actual EFL football going on tonight.

Birmingham City

A big deal to tell you about for Birmingham City.

Liam Millar was scoring the winner for Hull City at Coventry City in the Premier League just three days ago.

But the Canada international has now signed on loan for Blues on deadline day.

The 26-year-old scored five goals and provided eight assists in 53 appearances in all competitions since arriving at the Tigers in 2024.

Bradford City have announced the signing of full-back Corey O’Keeffe from Barnsley for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year contract and joins with the Bantams sitting in the top six as their match against Cambridge United currently remains goalless.

It has been a busy day at Southampton and now we have another deal confirmed as done at St Mary's.

Saints have signed 20-year-old defender Zach Abbott on loan from Nottingham Forest for the season.

Abbott is a product of the Forest academy where he has been since the age of 11 and has made 12 first team appearances.

Louis Page moves like Cole Palmer. He's tremendous.

I know he's such a talented lad with such a bright future, but why would Leicester risk 90 minutes of football potentially hours before such a big move that's on the cards?

It's complete, absolute madness that the club would take that risk. If he was to move back on a loan deal for the rest of the season, it could be argued that there's no need for him not to play because he'd play the next game anyway.

It doesn't happen very often in football for a player to get sold and then loaned straight back. It is one of those odd situations that we're going to see play out tonight.

Here's another point: what's going through Louis Page's mind? How is he going to be playing?

Is he going to want to go into a 50-50 tackle in the centre of the park? I don't think he will. So we'll all have our eyes on how it affects him and his play.

Wolves

Wolves forward Hwang Hee-chan has joined German Bundesliga club Schalke on loan for the rest of the season.

The 30-year-old has scored 22 goals in 119 appearances for Wolves since arriving from RB Leipzig in 2021.

Hwang, a South Korean international, played five full seasons in the Premier League for the club but has not featured in the Championship so far in this campaign.

Schalke will have an option to make the deal permanent next summer.

“He's expressed his frustrations, rightly, because the best players want to play all of the time," said Wolves technical director Matt Jackson.

"Hee Chan always been open with his dialogue and has been excellent in training this pre-season, knowing that he wasn't going to be involved here, which is difficult for a player, but he accepted it with good grace."

Nottingham Forest defender Morato has joined side West Ham on a season-long loan, with the option to make the deal permanent.

The 25-year-old reunites with former Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo at the London Stadium.

The Hammers had been interested in Wolves' Ladislav Krejci but the Czechia international does not want to move to another Championship club, with Wolves unwilling to sell to a promotion rival.

The defender was named in the team of the tournament for the 2025-26 Europa League and played in all but two games in the competition as Forest reached the last four.

West Ham United

West Ham have completed a deal to bring in Nottingham Forest defender Morato on loan for the season.

The 25-year-old Brazilian has made 66 appearances for the Reds since arriving from Benfica in August 2024.

It is understood the Hammers will have an option to buy Morato at the end of the loan deal.

West Bromwich Albion

West Bromwich Albion have completed the signing of French central defender Brayann Pereira for a fee in the region of £1m on a four-year deal.

The 23-year-old joins from Dutch Eredivisie side NEC Nijmegen and becomes the club's 10th summer signing.

Albion will now focus their attentions on bringing in a striker before the 11pm deadline, but time is running out.

Rumours linking them with former frontman Brandon Thomas-Asante from Coventry City are wide of the mark, BBC Sport understands.

Derby County

Derby County have re-signed defender Eiran Cashin on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion for the 2026-27 season.

The 24-year-old was a Rams youth academy product and went on to make 144 first team appearances before leaving for the Seagulls in January 2025.

He spent last season on loan at Birmingham City and then Blackburn Rovers.

“Eiran is going to a club he knows well, that will help him settle quickly and we look forward to seeing him progress over the coming season,” said Brighton sporting director Mike Cave.

There has been a lot of talk initially around Arsenal being interested in Louis Page, but it appears that Manchester United have been able to move a little further ahead in those discussions and negotiations.

It would appear that a deal is perhaps still on the cards despite Louis being in Leicester City's starting XI and the deadline just hours away.

That, I guess, shows you modern-day football and what it's like. Has he done a medical? We don't know. Will he do a medical? We don't know.

When will it get announced? We don't know. Could it be announced mid-game? We don't know. That would be incredible.

The money that has been discussed with me is significant. This is a bigger deal than the Jeremy Monga deal to Manchester City [£10m plus add-ons], which I suppose shows where Leicester's valuation is on Louis Page and how good he will go on to be.

From what I'm told, it also includes a significant sell-on clause for Leicester City should Louis Page move on from Manchester United a little further down the line. That is where the negotiations are currently.

The other key detail is that should Louis Page move to Manchester United, there is a lot of discussion - and, I think, an expectation from Leicester City - that he will return to the Foxes on loan for the rest of this season.

It's a brilliant advert for why the end of the transfer window shouldn't be on the same day as games. There should be no games played on it.

MK Dons have signed Everton defender Elijah Campbell on a season-long loan deal.

Campbell spent the second half of last season on loan at Port Vale, making 13 league starts.

Derby County are working on a deal to bring Union Saint-Gilloise winger Mohammed Fuseini to the club.

The 24-year-old Ghanaian has scored 15 goals in 76 appearances for the Belgian Pro League club since the start of the 2024-25 season.

He also made two appearances in the Champions League last season against Bayern Munich and Atalanta.

I am not sure on nature of the deal at this stage, but work is ongoing.

We have news of a potential incoming deal Derby County are working on...
