Premier League clubs have spent around £1.7bn on transfers during this period, already comfortably more than the previous record of £1.4bn in 2017. But one high-profile move that looks unlikely to happen today is striker Cristiano Ronaldo’s protracted Old Trafford exit. Erik ten Hag played down suggestions the 37-year-old could leave Manchester United, saying: “We’re happy with him, he’s happy to be here and we want to make the season a success together.” United’s moves for Anthony and Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka remain ongoing as the deadline approaches, although the club, who have also been linked with old boy Memphis Depay, will need to get both deals out line. Chelsea could be the busiest club in the Big Six today, with Thomas Tuchel’s side set for a frantic £140m deadline day as they try to seal deals for Barcelona’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ajax’s Edson Alvarez and Josko Guardiol of RB Leipzig – a day after completion. £70m for Wesley Fofana. They will also be working on a number of player departures, with Michy Batshuayi looking for a new club, while Brighton lead the race to sign Billy Gilmour, although Everton have also shown an interest in the Scotland international. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admitted he may need another midfielder and that was before Jordan Henderson was injured in yesterday’s win over Newcastle. Elsewhere, Southampton and Leeds are battling it out to sign PSV winger Cody Gakpo. Stay tuned and we’ll keep you updated on all the latest throughout the day.
