Transfer deadline day LIVE: Fulham try to loan Armando Broja from Chelsea as window closes

Transfer deadline day came and went as the January window slammed shut and Premier League clubs raced to try and complete last-minute deals ahead of the 11pm deadline.

Armando Broja’s future was still yet to be decided as the window closed as Chelsea reportedly agreed a loan deal to send the striker to Fulham, who could do with some goals over the second half of the season, but no official confirmation had landed by the time the deadline passed. West Ham duo Said Benrahma and Pablo Fornals’ exits to Lyon and Real Betis respectively were in a similar situation.

A relatively quiet transfer deadline day mirrored the January window as a whole, with financial restrictions stopping Premier League clubs splashing the cash too much. Crystal Palace swooped for midfielder Adam Wharton in a reported £22m switch from Blackburn to mark the biggest Premier League move of deadline day, as the talented 19-year-old cost an upfront fee of £18m with a potential £4m of add-ons.

Burnley completed loan deals for two defenders as Montpellier’s Maxime Esteve and Lorenz Assignon from Rennes signed until the end of the season, while Nottingham Forest signed goalkeeper Matz Sels from Strasbourg and striker Enes Unal joined Bournemouth on loan from Getafe, with an obligation to buy.

Move over Marcus Rashford: Kobbie Mainoo is Manchester United’s new star

22:56 , Luke Baker

Just one normal day in the life of Manchester United is all we ask.

With the eyes of the world watching Marcus Rashford’s every move, it was another, better-behaved academy product from down the road who secured his anarchic side a truly remarkable victory that United did their utmost to undo.

Even though the tequila-swilling rogue arrowed a superb opener five minutes into a match he looked a long way from starting when called into a Carrington disciplinary meeting three days ago, star-in-the-making Kobbie Mainoo’s incredible winner, in the 97^th minute, must not be forgotten amid all the Rashford furore.

Moyes told BBC Match of the Day: “I’m only just off the pitch, I’m not quite sure what’s been done. We know the talk from Betis [around Pablo Fornals] and I think Said Benrahma is in France doing a medical. I couldn’t tell you if that has been done tonight.

Done deal! Isaac Hayden leaves Newcastle for QPR

22:00 , Luke Baker

Championship strugglers QPR have strengthened their midfield with the signing of Isaac Hayden on loan from Newcastle for the rest of the season.

Hayden has been out of favour on Tyneside for the last couple of years and spent last season at Norwich. He made 10 appearances for Belgian side Standard Liege during the first half of this campaign.

The ex-England Under-21 international brings significant Premier League experience, having played more than 100 times in the top flight, and hopes he can help preserve Rangers’ status in the second tier.

“It is obvious to see the position the club are in at the moment,” he said on the club’s official website. “But it’s a challenge that I feel I can add some value to, on and off the pitch - be an experienced player and be a leader to try and help the club stay in the league.

“Everyone knows what the Championship is like but if we can get a consistent run of performances, hopefully the points will come.

“I’ve looked at the squad and there are some really good players in it. There is definitely enough there but it is about us proving that on a matchday when it counts.”

Holgate said: “I’m delighted to be here and to finally get it over the line. I’ve been waiting all month to get it sorted, obviously involving three teams, it is a little complicated but now we’ve got it to this point, I cannot wait to get going.

“I feel good, sharp and ready to go. This is the best league in the world that’s why everyone aspires to play in it, I’ve played in it a bit now and hopefully I can come in and help the boys.

Chelsea and Fulham still in talks over Armando Broja deal

20:46 , Luke Baker

The main deal we’re keeping an eye on for the rest of the evening is Armando Broja’s potential loan move.

Fulham have reportedly agreed a loan fee with Chelsea for Broja, The Independent understands, and will pay their West London rivals £750k. He has arrived at the Cottagers’ training ground to try and get the move over the line.

The deal includes a penalty fee of up to £4m if Broja does not play a specified number of games, as Chelsea look to ensure their asset isn’t stuck on the bench, and these negotiations are proving one of the final hurdles to completing the deal before tonight’s deadline.

Chelsea had initially sought £50m for a permanent transfer but could not find a suitor.

ICYMI: Rogers makes Villa switch

20:31 , Luke Baker

Aston Villa have completed a move for Morgan Rogers from Middlesbrough, with the forward having impressed in the Sky Bet Championship so far this season with seven goals and eight assists to his name.

Bournemouth have allowed the Wales international to depart on a temporary basis after he started only twice under Andoni Iraola during the first half of the campaign.

Moore previously spent 18 months at Portman Road and, while he failed to score in 11 appearances in 2017, he returns with plenty of Championship and big-match pedigree.

He told Town TV: “It’s great to finally get it over the line because it’s been a long time coming during the window.

“I remember my first spell here and I’ve gone away and worked very hard on myself during that time, so I’m delighted to be back and can’t wait to get going.

“I feel very good, I’m really happy and ever since I first heard about the move I wanted to move here,” Esteve said. “I have followed the Premier League since being a young child and had only pictured myself ever being here, so I am really excited.

“The manager spoke really positively about the project here and I just wanted to be a part of it straight away.”

Esteve becomes Kompany’s second signing of the January transfer window after forward David Datro Fofana joined on loan from Chelsea.

Leverkusen sign striker Borja Iglesias in bid to clinch title

19:45 , Lawrence Ostlere

Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen’s new signing Borja Iglesias is ready to boost their attack in the absence of injured striker Victor Boniface, and his arrival could not have been better timed with Bayern Munich awaiting them on Feb. 10.

Leverkusen will be looking to bounce back with a win at bottom club Darmstadt 98 on Saturday to make amends for their goalless draw against Borussia Moenchengladbach last week. Their lead over second-placed Bayern has been cut to two points and they will want to preserve that gap going into the crunch match against Bayern.

With the title race looking increasingly like a two-horse race as Bayern are 10 points ahead of third-placed VfB Stuttgart, Leverkusen know they cannot afford to drop points on Saturday.

“Until the season ends it is still a long, hard way,” said 31-year-old Spaniard Iglesias, who joined on a loan deal from Real Betis until the end of the campaign. “We are taking one step after the other. First of all I am looking forward to the game against Darmstadt on the weekend and then the coming weeks in Leverkusen.”

Boniface, who had scored 10 goals in 16 league games, will be out of action for at least three months after undergoing surgery on an adductor muscle injury he picked up while preparing with Nigeria for the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this month.

Leverkusen urgently need Iglesias’ efficacy in front of goal, having failed to score against Gladbach despite having 28 goal attempts compared to their opponents’ four.

“This is an ambitious team that wants to achieve something,” Iglesias said. “I will give my best to help this team.”

Often derided as lacking a winning mentality and nicknamed ‘Neverkusen’ for their inability to win titles, Leverkusen are unbeaten in 28 consecutive matches across all competitions this season.

Adam Wharton discusses reasons behind Crystal Palace move

19:30 , Luke Baker

England Under-20 international Wharton leaves Rovers after making 51 appearances for his boyhood club and will hope to follow in the footsteps of Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze in making the jump up from the second tier.

Wharton told Palace TV: “I’ve always wanted to play in the Premier League and to play for such a big club like Crystal Palace is a great honour.

“The way they’ve brought players from the Championship and developed them into world-class players in the Premier League is something that stood out to me, and it’s a big reason why I wanted to come here.”

Luton’s head of recruitment Mick Harford said on the club website: “Taylan is technically very good. He is a winger or forward who is very quick, has a real eye for goal and likes a shot from range. He is also a good dribbler, who likes to beat players and make things happen. We are looking forward to working with him and are excited to see how he develops.”

Harris is looking forward to the next step of his career with the Hatters and said: “My aim is to play in the Premier League - every player in the world wants to do that. This has given me an opportunity to do that and achieve that.”

Manchester United sell Norwegian midfielder to Werder Bremen

17:09 , Lawrence Ostlere

Manchester United have sold academy player Isak Hansen-Aaroen to Werder Bremen for an undisclosed fee.

The club were keen to keep the Norwegian 19-year-old, but his refusal to sign a new contract, with a deal that expires this summer, forced their hand. Hansen-Aaroen wants first-team opportunties and United had made it clear that would take time at Old Trafford.

The Independent understands United have included a sell-on clause in the transfer terms to ensure they get a slice of any future fee, should Bremen sell on Hansen-Aaroen for a big price.

EFL news: Doncaster succeed in appeal against transfer embargo

17:03 , Lawrence Ostlere

Doncaster’s three-transfer window fee restriction by the EFL has been reduced following an appeal.

League Two Rovers were issued with a £2,000 fine and the three-window fee restriction as a result of accumulating 30 days or more of late payments during the 12 months from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.

It meant the club was prohibited from paying or committing to pay a transfer fee, compensation fee or loan fee for any player during either the current or next two transfer windows.

The club opted to appeal on the grounds that the restrictions imposed were disproportionate to the financial breaches, so the matter was referred to an independent disciplinary commission, which revised the sanctions.

A statement from the EFL said: “On review of the case, the commission has determined that the three-transfer window fee restriction is to stand, but with the second (August 2024) and third (January 2025) windows suspended and triggered upon a further breach. The club is still required to pay the £2,000 fine.”

“It [wanting a new striker] is not just because Raul Jimenez is injured. Even with Raul in our squad, we sold a striker for a big amount of money last summer, we still haven’t replaced him.

“It was important last summer and it was important at the beginning of the window.

“I’m not going to make comments on players, rumours all that stuff. That is something I will not do.

“Ty Francois may be going to Denmark - let’s see if it can be official.”

He said, on the Footballer’s Football podcast: “I’m sure the manager and all the fans will be happy to see that door closed - keeping the squad together.

WSL latest after Villa suffer injury blow

13:20 , Sonia Twigg

Aston Villa’s Lucy Staniforth is to miss the rest of the season due to an ankle issue, boss Carla Ward has said.

Ward said the 31-year-old, who has 17 England caps, is set for surgery after suffering the “bizarre” injury in the warm-up prior to last week’s League Cup match against Sunderland.

Since then Villa have also lost Staniforth’s fellow midfielder Laura Blindkilde Brown, with the youngster joining Manchester City on transfer deadline day.

Ward told a press conference ahead of Saturday’s Women’s Super League home clash with Bristol City: “Lucy Stan and Laura Brown have been ever-present in our midfield, so it’s a massive hole. Lucy has been excellent for us.

“It’s an injury that requires intervention and we’ll get that done on Wednesday and get her ready for pre-season.”

England Under-23 international Blindkilde Brown, 20, made her move with Villa saying City had triggered a “substantial” buyout clause in her contract. It is reported City have paid £200,000.

Ward said: “I think naturally we’re disappointed with the Browny situation. When the call came in, I think the first thought is ‘absolutely no chance’.

“City hit that clause and then we sat down with Laura, and I think the fact that City’s midfield is in the position they’re in (with Jill Roord injured) and Laura’s got an opportunity to go in there and play straight away, go for a title and try to finish in the Champions League spots, it’s something for her as an individual she simply couldn’t turn down.

“She’s a fantastic talent. I think City have got a bargain. Personally I’m absolutely gutted that she’s no longer here.”

Newcastle bogged down by restrictions

11:00 , Sonia Twigg

The Magpies are unlikely to be able to make any transfer deadline day signings, being heavily hampered by the Profit and Sustainability Rules.

They wanted to sell Miguel Almiron to Saudi Arabia before their Tuesday deadline but the winger was keen to remain, and Eddie Howe did not want to lose Kieran Trippier or Callum Wilson.

Newcastle may be unable to find cover for Sandro Tonali and Joelinton, who are among their extensive injury problems, which were compounded with the injury to Alexander Isak on Tuesday.

Transfer deadline day LIVE: Rashford ‘case closed'

09:00 , Jamie Braidwood

Erik ten Hag has declared it is “case closed” for Marcus Rashford as he returns to the Manchester United squad but has told his players they have to show discipline – on and off the pitch.

Rashford was omitted for the FA Cup win at Newport after drinking alcohol and visiting nightclubs during two nights out in Belfast last week.

Rashford then said he was sick when he returned to Manchester, but Ten Hag left him out of the Newport match, which he attributed both to illness and an “internal matter”.

The forward has held talks with Ten Hag and has reportedly been fined two weeks’ wages but will be available to play when United visit Wolves on Thursday.

Manager Ten Hag said: “He has taken responsibility and it is an internal matter: case closed.”

Transfer deadline day LIVE: Reyna set for Forest loan

08:45 , Jamie Braidwood

It would appear that Borussia Dortmund are happy to let Gio Reyna leave on loan, with the American hoping to secure regular football with a home edition of the Copa America on the horizon.

Sevilla and Marseille have been linked, but reports suggest that Nottingham Forest are leading the chase and may have agreed temporary deals in principle.

Transfer deadline day LIVE: Duran to Chelsea?

08:30 , Jamie Braidwood

Chelsea’s pursuit of players high on potential continues with Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran identified as a forward option. The Colombia international hasn’t managed to command a regular starting spot under Unai Emery and a hamstring injury could be a complicating factor. Newcastle and West Ham have also been connected with the 20-year-old.

Transfer deadline day LIVE: Villa set to complete move for Rogers

08:15 , Jamie Braidwood

Aston Villa’s top target is Middlesbrough’s Rogers. They have tested Middlesbrough’s resolve with a third bid for the youngster, who has thrived under Michael Carrick this season.

Transfer deadline day LIVE

08:00 , Jamie Braidwood

When does the January transfer window close in England?

Transfer deadline day for men’s sides in England in Thursday 1 February, with the window shutting at 11pm GMT.

What about Scotland?

The Scottish window will shut half-an-hour later, at 11.30pm.

And the rest of Europe?

La Liga’s window closes at the same time as the Premier League, which is midnight in Spain. Clubs in Ligue 1, meanwhile, will have an hour less to make their signings.

Business in the Bundesliga has to be concluded by 6pm German time (5pm GMT), and Serie A’s window an hour later.

What about the WSL?

WSL clubs had until 11pm GMT last night (Wednesday 31 January) to complete any deals.

Transfer deadline day LIVE: Chalobah set for loan?

07:45 , Jamie Braidwood

The defender has been linked to a number of clubs, including Fulham and Nottingham Forest.

The 24-year-old is close to full fitness after recovering from a hamstring injury that restricted him to the sidelines for seven months.

Should either club make a bid it could be in the form of a loan deal with the option to buy at the end of the season.

Transfer deadline day LIVE: Ivan Toney to Arsenal?

07:30 , Jamie Braidwood

A long-time target for the club, Toney has returned to action for Brentford having served his eight-month betting ban. The striker averages a goal every other game in the Premier League and has expressed a desire to test himself at a “top club”.

Brentford, though, are unlikely to want the centre forward to leave without a sizeable transfer fee. The Independent’s Miguel Delaney reports that a price tag of £100m has been set for Toney, and Arsenal may revisit their interest in the summer.

Transfer deadline day LIVE: Almiron to Saudi?

07:15 , Jamie Braidwood

Newcastle forward Almiron has become a much-loved figure on Tyneside, but may be moved on with Al Shabab most strongly linked. The Saudi Pro League club are not one of those who have benefitted from the involvement of the country’s Public Investment Fund, but the obvious ties between Newcastle and the nation may make a deal more likely.

His departure could allow Newcastle to invest, with Eddie Howe expressing frustration that the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) have hindered the search for additions to his squad.

Transfer deadline day LIVE: Could Rashford make a shock move?

07:00 , Jamie Braidwood

England forward Marcus Rashford is under the microscope again following his alleged hijinks in Belfast last week, which led to internal disciplinary measures being taken by Manchester United.

While United say they have drawn a line under the matter, Rashford is not as settled under Erik ten Hag as he might once have been.

Any departure from Old Trafford in the next day or so would still be regarded as a major surprise but Paris St Germain are reportedly keeping tabs on United’s homegrown 26-year-old.

Transfer deadline day LIVE: Hammers go for Jota

06:45 , Jamie Braidwood

With Said Benrahma reportedly close to sealing a move to Ligue 1 club Lyon, West Ham could target former Celtic winger Jota to shore up the wing.

The Portuguese only swapped the Hoops for the Saudi Pro League last summer but has been heavily linked with a return to the UK.

However, David Moyes’ side could meet resistance from Al-Ittihad given Jota has been in Saudi Arabia for just six months.

Transfer deadline day: Newcastle keeping busy

06:30 , Jamie Braidwood

Newcastle were expected to be one of the biggest movers but they are having to juggle the restrictions imposed by profit and sustainability and financial fair play rules with a desire to strengthen.

Indeed, boss Eddie Howe said this week it was “impossible” to add to their squad without selling first.

Kieran Trippier, Miguel Almiron and Bruno Guimaraes have all been linked with moves abroad but Newcastle have managed to resist any overtures thus far and will hope there are no major departures on Thursday.

Transfer deadline day LIVE: Chelsea offloading before buying?

06:15 , Jamie Braidwood

Conor Gallagher has been an integral part of Mauricio Pochettino’s side this season but with just 18 months left on his contract and no sign of an extension, the England midfielder has been linked with a switch to Tottenham.

Fulham and Wolves are said to be tracking another of Chelsea’s academy products in Armando Broja.

But lightening the books could allow the Blues to follow up reported interest in Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran and Newcastle forward Callum Wilson as well as Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies.

Good morning

06:00 , Jamie Braidwood

It’s transfer deadline day as the January window comes to a close and Premier League clubs race to try and complete last-minute deals ahead of tonight’s 11pm deadline.

Chelsea are set to dominate the final hours of the window, with Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja’s futures still yet to be decided. Chelsea are reportedly willing to sell Gallagher to help meet FFP regulations, so long as they get the right offer, and Tottenham are considering a last-ditch bid. Broja, another academy product, has meanwhile been linked with a late move to Wolves or Fulham, who could do with some goals over the second half of the season.

Newcastle are close to reaching the limit of financial fair play too, so may need to offload players with Bruno Guimaraes, Miguel Almiron and Kieran Trippier all linked to other clubs. Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey has been linked with Tottenham and Bayern Munich in order to meet profit and sustainability regulations. And Marcus Rashford’s Manchester United future is in doubt after his latest fallout with manager Erik ten Hag, with one report suggesting Paris Saint-Germain are ready to revive their interest.
