It's everyone's favourite day of the summer. It's deadline day, and 90min have got you covered with all the latest updates from across Europe.

This live blog will bring you all the done deals and rumours you need to keep an eye out for as teams across the continent make their final adjustments for the season.


Fulham Sign Ruben Loftus-Cheek on Loan

Told you there might be some more movement in west London. The man affectionately known to a very small handful of people as Roftus Loftus-Choftus has swapped Stamford Bridge for Craven Cottage for the season.

More on that deal here.


Fulham Sign Tosin Adarabioyo on Permanent Deal

Does what it says on the tin, really. Fulham's second centre-back of the night, a very tall man, and still maybe not the Cottagers' last business of the window.


PSG Buy Rafinha From Barcelona

After almost 15 years at the club, Rafinha has left Barcelona to join Paris Saint-Germain. The fee? Somewhere in the region of a bag of beans and a Curly Wurly.


Manchester United Sign Facundo Pellistri

Very few of the signings most fans actually wanted, but Manchester United have had a fairly busy deadline day. 18-year-old Uruguayan Facundo Pellistri arrives on a long, long-term deal.

Here's all the info on the signing, with quotes from the kid himself and Ole Gunner Solskjaer.

Here's some things to know about him, if he's a new name to you.

Sandro Ramirez Leaves Everton on Free Transfer

Three-year deal at Huesca for Sandro, who can hopefully get some continuity and get his career back on track at somehow still just 25.


Everton Complete Loan Signing of Robin Olsen

Everton have a new goalkeeper! In theory he'll 'compete' with Jordan Pickford for the starting role, but...well, we've watched football in the last 18 months.


Arsenal Confirm Partey Signing and Torreira Loan

Sorry, this is a handful of minutes late, but it is gone 11pm and I did need to actually do the editorial biz to get the full pieces live. So.

Lucas Torreira leaves Arsenal for Atleti on a season-long loan – more details here.

Thomas Partey joins Arsenal for €50m – more details here.


Atleti Confirm Arsenal Have Paid Partey Clause

Presumably this is their way of expressing their apparent displeasure at Arsenal bypassing them to deposit the cash. We do love a bit of pettiness.


TRANSFER WINDOW CLOSED


THREE 22:30 DEALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOUTHAMPTON CONFIRM THEO WALCOTT (PROPERLY)

LEEDS CONFIRM RAPHINHA

FULHAM CONFIRM JOACHIM ANDERSEN


Southampton Confirm Theo Walcott (Ish)

Chat! We've got a wave of late-night club account chat!


Leeds Taking the Pisces

Not going to explain why this one's tickled me, you can have a little Twitter search for yourselves.


Edinson Cavani Joins Manchester United

Nah, this is great. Edinson Cavani is a really good footballer, this is a 1+1 deal, Manchester United didn't have a number nine who plays his best football in that spot, and now they do.

He's 33? Who cares. He's good.


Orjan Nyland leaves Aston Villa

One year left on his deal, inducing a goalline technology screw-up that kept Villa up – Orjan Nyland has been released by the Midlands club. They have Emi Martinez now!


Gerard Deulofeu Moves to Udinese

Pozzo to Pozzo, ashes to ashes, all that. Gerard Deulofeu is going on loan for the fifth time in his career. Two of the clubs who have loaned him in the past ended up buying him!


Sofiane Boufal Leaves Southampton

Never really worked out this one, did it? Shame.


Mass Exodus From West Ham

Xande Silva? Gone! Jack Wilshere? Gone! Josh Cullen? Gone!


Chris Smalling Joins Roma

Got it over the line with a single minute to spare. Phew.


Saints Loan Out Hoedt

A third loan spell of his Southampton career for Wesley Hoedt. Fun fact: his middle name is Theodorus.


Nearly There...

Our night's blockbuster deal might not be far away at all. Paperwork to be sorted, but...


Rachid Ghezzal Leaves Leicester on Loan

The deal of the day? No. A deal that has happened today? Yes.


Man Utd Consider Ousmane Dembele Deal...Without Medical?

Yes, that's where we are at.

What could possibly go wrong?


Everton Turn to Robin Olsen

It seems that Everton's fine form has made Man Utd and Spurs reluctant to sell them anyone... even unwanted backup keepers.

Enter Robin Olsen. The clock is ticking.


Roma Agree Chris Smalling Fee

At last! This should free up funds for Manchester United to sign...ah, I'm being told that Manchester United had absolutely zero deals hanging on this money coming in.


Napoli Sign Tiemoue Bakayoko

Tiemoue Bakayoko has left Chelsea! Again! On loan! Again!


Manchester United Sign Alex Telles

Now THERE'S a transfer! Turns out Alex Telles was too deep into negotiations to pull out of his move to Manchester United after they lost 6-1 to Spurs yesterday, and now he's a Manchester United player!

Now...Edinson Cavani next? Dare we ask, Ismaila Sarr at some point?


Newcastle Sign Rodrigo Vilca

Newcastle have done a signing! It's not Kylian Mbappe, or a new owner, or Gareth Bale, but it's Rodrigo Vilca!

He – as anyone wearing braces in their announcement picture must – goes into the Under-23s, and if you don't know anything about him? Well, we've got a whole factfile for you right here.


The German Transfer Window Is SHUT

Yep, looks like we're done with players going to Germany for the evening – their window shut a full hour ago at 5pm. Sead Kolasinac, you're a north London man.

For reference, Serie A shuts up shop at 7pm while La Liga and Ligue 1 are aligned with the Premier League's 11pm finish. Isn't that nice?


Guido Carrillo Leaves Southampton on Free

Remember when Guido Carrillo signed for Southampton for like £19m? And played seven Premier League games? And never scored? Anyway, he's leaving for free with most of a year left on his contract, gone to join Elche.

Presumably they were impressed by the one goal he scored in 1210 La Liga minutes last season for Leganes.


Matteo Guendouzi Leaves Arsenal on Loan

Well, we've been waiting for this one since about 2pm – the long-haired, young version of Francis Coquelin has left Arsenal for Hertha Berlin on loan.

With only a year on his contract at the end of the season, he and Arsenal will be hoping this goes well enough to prompt a permanent move somewhere.


Everton Goalkeeper Update

We said earlier that Everton are still looking for a goalkeeper, looks like it's likely to be Sergio Romero or Roma's Robin Olson if someone does come in.

Bad day for the dinosaur community, between the Gunnersaurus news and now this for Jordan Pickford and his little T-Rex arms...


90min Blog Signing – Confirmed

Oioi. You've all had a lovely time with young Tom Gott today, but it's past his bedtime now. That means that I, Chris Deeley, shall be taking you all the way up to the deadline at 11pm and beyond – until the very last deal is confirmed.

We might be here a while.
