January 2022 Transfer Deadline Day!

So, who would you like to see your team buy or sell today? I'll start with my beloved Leeds United. As Marcelo Bielsa famously likes to work with a small, senior squad, I don't expect any major moves. That said, we have made a £20 million bid for Salzburg's US international Brendan Aaronson and are trying to work out a loan deal for Liverpool forward Takumi Minimino. Mainly, though, I'm just hoping that we don't sell off our jewels, especially Kal Phillips and Raphinha. What about the rest of you?

Some reasonably big moves this morning. First, Man City have scooped up Argentinian striker Julian Alvarez for 17 million.
In what will likely be a warmly received move, Christian Eriksen have joined Brentford.
Everton are looking to sign Dele Alli from Spurs today. It will have to be a permanent transfer as, once Donny van de Beek completes his loan move from Manchester United, Everton will have used their quota of domestic loan deals.
It’s deja vu time at Sunderland where the former England striker Jermain Defoe is close to making an emotional return to his old club at the age of 39 and the ex manager Mick McCarthy appears to be on the shortlist to replace Lee Johnson.
Former Gunner Aaron Ramsey has completed a move from Juve to Rangers. There's an Old Firm Derby on Wednesday, which would be a cracker of a debut if he's available.
Brighton center back Dan Burn has agreed personal terms with Newcastle, apparently. That’s a slightly strange one – I know they apparently went for Adam Webster first – but I’m surprised they didn’t pay what it took to get him, or find someone else.
Wow - a double swoop by Spurs for both Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur (19 million) and Dejan Kulusevski (10 million), both from Juve.
So you can see why they're anxious to ship Dele Alli off to Everton and Ndembele off to wherever he's headed on loan.
Everton have completed their signing of Dele ALli for a free transfer! Getting a 25-year old England international, even one that's been in the wilderness, seems good business for Frankie Lamps.
Villa have loaned out full-back Matt Targett to Newcastle, presumably due to their signing of Lucas Digne before the break.
Shite Fart Lane continues to be a busy place today, with Giovani Lo Celso now headed out on loan to Villarreal for the rest of the season.
Brighton have scooped up Deniz Undav, a striker from Union Saint-Gilloise for an undeclared sum.
More news on the Mason Greenwood front. Apparently Nike have severed their ties with the United forward.
Big news on the Arsenal front - they've agreed terms with Barca for a six-month loan with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Wolfsburg striker Wout Weghorst has joined Burnley as an obvious replacement for Chris Wood.
Two players who appear to be going nowhere tonight are Steven Bergwijn, who had been linked with a move to Ajax and Jesse Lingard. West Ham and Newcastle had been trying to get a move over the line, but Lingard will stay and see out his Manchester United contract. United will likely need him now with the on-going Greenwood situation.
Colorado Rapids defender Auston Trusty has signed for the Arsenal. There's a gift for our Punmeister in Chief.
Two hours to go! We’re waiting on confirmation of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s move to Barcelona, Dele Alli joining Everton, and Dan Burn being added to Newcastle’s January basket. Plus, there’s still time for a late twist, or for someone, somewhere to sign Ousmane Dembélé. Stick around!
Donny Van Der Beek is confirmed to be heading out on loan at Everton, who've done some tidy business today. It'll be interesting to see how the Toffees line up next weekend, what with DCL, Richarlison, Andros Townsend and now Dele Alli and VDB at their disposal. That's some impressive firepower.
Ousmane Dembélé is still a Barcelona player, despite links with PSG, Chelsea, Spurs and more in the last few days.
Liverpool have agreed a fee with Fulham for Fabio Carvalho after a complicated day of negotiations. They still have to finalize personal terms and the player needs to pass a medical before the 11pm deadline, however, so it could be close.
Forward Jean-Philippe Mateta has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Crystal Palace after the club decided to make his loan move permanent. The fee is reportedly in the region of £10m.
Less than an hour to go for any late, late moves.
The transfer window has closed and I'm delighted that Leeds have held off the offers by Liverpool and West Ham for Kal Phillips and Raphinha. With a number of starters set to come back from injury, we should be safe.
