Head back to 90min in the morning where we'll have further news and reaction to this summer's window.

Good night!

1:03am - ZAKARIA JOINS CHELSEA ON LOAN, ALONSO LEAVES BY MUTUAL CONSENT

The final major deal of deadline day is complete.

Denis Zakaria has signed for Chelsea on a season-long loan from Juventus, while Marcos Alonso’s six-year association with the club is over. He’s mutually terminated his contract and will be announced as a Barcelona player in the morning.

12:35pm - ONE MORE

We reckon, by our calculations, we’re waiting for one more deal to be confirmed now.

Marcos Alonso’s move to Barcelona looks like being a morning announcement, leaving Denis Zakaria to take centre stage. He’s going to Chelsea, them again, from Juventus on loan. Come on Blues, it’s late!

12:25pm - BUSINESS HAS PICKED UP! AUBAMEYANG JOINS CHELSEA, GILMOUR JOINS BRIGHTON

A real double whammy of Chelsea news and it’s the deal we’ve been waiting for!

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a Premier League player once more, joining from Barcelona in a £12m deal, while Billy Gilmour’s Stamford Bridge adventure is over - he is joining Graham Potter at Brighton on a four-year contract.

12:10am - LEEDS CONFIRM GNONTO SIGNING

Leeds United have completed the deadline day signing of Wilfried Gnonto. The teenage Italian international joins on a five-year deal, having previously graduated from Inter’s academy.

Could be a really smart bit of business by the Whites.

11:55pm - PLEASE STOP SIGNING PLAYERS FOREST

No, really, why are Nottingham Forest still signing players? There’s another one through the door, this time in the shape of Loic Bade, AND Serge Aurier is expected to follow.

Steve Cooper has got one hell of a job on his hands.

11:45pm - FULHAM CONFIRM DANIEL JAMES LOAN SIGNING

Fulham have announced the signing of Leeds winger Daniel James on a season-long loan deal from Leeds.

A bit of a surprise to some, maybe, but Jesse Marsch appears to he happy with letting him go even though a replacement is not coming in. Bold.

11:40pm - DONE DEAL AND LOAN

Nottingham Forest have signed another player, this time in the form of exciting Blackpool talent Josh Bowler. They’ve promptly sent him on loan to Olympiacos, which is bound to please the Greek masses.

11:35pm - FOUR PREMIER LEAGUE DEALS TO COME

Confirmation from the Premier League that four deal sheets were submitted before the 11pm deadline.

That would suggest a deal we expected to happen is perhaps not going through - one move that definitely is off is Michy Batshuayi to Nottingham Forest. Turns out it was too last minute to get through the crowded arrivals gate at the City Ground.

11:30pm - WOLVES SIGN MALI MIDFIELDER

Wolves have signed Mali midfielder Boubacar Traore on a season-long loan, subject to receiving a visa and work permit.

Bruno Lage's side hold an option to make the move permanent next summer, which will also happen automatically should certain clauses be triggered.

11:25pm - AUBAMEYANG IS A CHELSEA PLAYER

Awaiting for official confirmation from Chelsea but 90min understands that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s move from Barcelona is complete. Just a fancy signing video holding this one up you’d imagine.

11:10pm - BELLERIN JOINS BARCELONA

Comunicado oficial. Hector Bellerin is back in La Liga and he’s bagged a move to Barcelona after terminating his Arsenal contract.

A one-year deal for the man with a wonderful moustache. Read the full story here.

11:10pm - GNONTO NEARS LATE LEEDS SWITCH

Leeds United are confident they have landed long-term target Wilfried Gnonto, an Italian international forward currently playing for FC Zurich.

We’re waiting for Aubameyang, Alonso, Zakaria, Gilmour and James among others…

11:00pm - BEDNAREK JOINS VILLA ON LOAN, CALETA-CAR TO SOUTHAMPTON

10:55pm - ANDRE GOMES LEAVES EVERTON

10:45pm - FULHAM SIGN CARLOS VINICIUS

Fulham have completed the signing of striker Carlos Vinicius, formerly of Tottenham Hotspur loan fame. It’s a permanent deal and more striking firepower for Marco Silva at Craven Cottage.

10:40pm - JUVENTUS CONFIRM ARTHUR LOAN FEE

Juventus have confirmed that the Arthur loan deal has set Liverpool back €4.5m and includes a €37.5m buy option. Not the straight loan as first thought.

Not long now until Daniel James becomes a Fulham player. Medical passed and loan move from Leeds set to be completed.

10:25pm - NEWCASTLE SELL FERNANDEZ

10:20pm - ASTON VILLA SNUB THIRD DOUGLAS LUIZ BID

Arsenal have had that third deadline day bid for Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz rejected. As said before, Stevie G's side have no desire to sell.

Full story here.

10:15pm - SOUTHAMPTON SIGN SECOND MAN CITY YOUNGSTER

First it was Samuel Edozie, now it’s Juan Larios. Southampton have signed the 18-year-old left-back from Manchester City in a deal worth £6m. Building for the future is Ralph Hasenhuttl.

9:55pm - LIVERPOOL SIGN ARTHUR ON LOAN FROM JUVENTUS

Liverpool have completed the signing of Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo on a season-long loan deal - there is no option to buy for Jurgen Klopp's side.

The Brazilian told the club's official website:

“I’m really, really happy to be here wearing this great shirt with this famous badge that represents so much in world football, it’s a dream.

The latter you might be wondering to where...turns out Batman is heading to Nottingham Forest to become their 45,971st signing of the summer!

8:45pm - JAMES MOVE TO FULHAM STILL ALIVE

Leeds may not be signing Bamba Dieng anymore, but that won’t stop Daniel James from heading out of the club on loan.

Sources have confirmed to 90min that the deal is pushing ahead and was not dependent on Leeds making a signing.

8:30pm - DEST JOINS AC MILAN ON LOAN

Read the full story here.

3:40pm - DEST FINALISING AC MILAN LOAN

Barcelona's whirlwind summer of transfers has taken everybody's breath away, but the fun isn't over just yet.

3:25pm - ANDRE GOMES IN TALKS TO LEAVE EVERTON

3:20pm - BEDNAREK HEADING FOR ASTON VILLA MEDICAL

2:15pm - PSG COULD REIGNITE SKRINIAR INTEREST

Paris Saint-Germain have allowed some central defenders to depart this summer - most notably Thilo Kehrer to West Ham - and it's not out of the question that the Ligue 1 giants resume their interest in Inter's Milan Skriniar.

Reports in France suggest a last-gasp bid is on the horizon, though Inter have previously declared publicly that the Slovakian is not for sale.

2:10pm - REAL MADRID LEGEND MARCELO LINKED WITH SHOCK LEICESTER MOVE

1:55pm - JOAO PEDRO COMMITS FUTURE TO WATFORD

Watford will not be losing Brazilian forward Joao Pedro this summer after he committed his immediate future to the Hornets.

Newcastle, meanwhile, have turned down an approach from Watford for striker Chris Wood.

1:50pm - BRIGHTON HOPEFUL OF BILLY GILMOUR DEAL

Brighton & Hove Albion are hopeful of completing a permanent deal for Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour.

Once a rising star at Stamford Bridge, the Scotland international now appears to be surplus to requirements under Thomas Tuchel, and could benefit from uniting with Graham Potter - a manager known for developing young players.

A loan is out of the question as Levi Colwill is already at the Amex on a temporary basis.

1:25pm - ARSENAL & BELLERIN CONTINUE RELEASE TALKS

1:00pm - ZAHA & GALLAGHER FUTURES

Chelsea remain interested in signing Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace although the focus right now is on tying up a deal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Conor Gallagher, meanwhile, could still leave Stamford Bridge depending on other circumstances and whether or not a club really pushes for him. Crystal Palace are his most likely destination, should the chance to leave come about.

12:50pm - FULHAM NEAR CARLOS VINICIUS DEAL

Remember Carlos Vinicius? Well, if you don't, it's time to refresh your memory.

Once on loan at Tottenham Hotspur, he's now closing on a return to the Premier League with new boys Fulham. A permanent move is in the offing, and the latest step to strengthening Marco Silva's front line.

12:45pm - NEWCASTLE CHASE WEST HAM YOUNGSTER HARRISON ASHBY

12:25pm - DANIEL JAMES RACE HOTTING UP

Fulham have entered the race to sign Leeds winger Dan James, 90min understands, but face competition for his signature from Tottenham and other Premier League clubs.

12:15pm - ICYMI - GAKPO TO STAY AT PSV EINDHOVEN

One story to break first thing this morning was PSV Eindhoven deciding to keep hold of in-demand forward Cody Gakpo.

Southampton, Leeds and Manchester United have been linked with the Dutchman, but it now appears that a move to the Premier League is off the cards for now.

12:00pm - LEICESTER COMPLETE SIGNING OF WOUT FAES

Leicester City have completed the signing of Reims defender Wout Faes, who will replace Wesley Fofana in the heart of the Foxes defence.

A much-needed incoming for Brendan Rodgers after a pretty miserable transfer window to date, with the deal set to cost Leicester around £15m.

11:40am - JAN BEDNAREK TWIST

Transfer deadline day is alive and kicking.

West Ham had seemed to be on the verge of signing Jan Bednarek from Southampton earlier this morning, but 90min now understands Aston Villa are heading the queue after the Hammers backed away.

Fulham have had a bid for Blackburn Rovers forward Ben Brereton Diaz rejected, 90min understands, with the Cottagers looking at alternative options to Justin Kluivert.

Chelsea are confident that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will complete his transfer from Barcelona before the transfer window slams shut.

The full story on Aubameyang's future can be found here.

10:20am - ASTON VILLA EXPLORING LUCAS MOURA SIGNING

Wolves are closing in on the signing of West Ham central defender Craig Dawson, who has expressed a desire to move closer to his family home, and he looks likely to be replaced by Jan Bednarek on loan.

Juventus' Arthur Melo has been spotted at the airport preparing to travel to England for his Liverpool medical.

10:00am - SOUTHAMPTON CONFIRM ROMEU DEPARTURE

A statement thanking Romeu said:

"Oriol departs with the very best wishes of everyone at Southampton Football Club, and we would like to express our gratitude to him for his dedication and magnificent efforts both on and off the pitch during his time here. We wish him every success in the future."

9:50am - BERNARDO SILVA CONFIRMS MAN CITY STAY

Bernardo Silva has confirmed he won't be leaving Manchester City for Barcelona this summer.

Read what Bernardo had to say here.

9:35am - MAN UTD SIGN ANTONY

9:28am - LIVERPOOL TARGET SURPRISE ARTHUR MOVE

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said the club would look for a midfielder after being decimated by injuries and it appears Juventus' Arthur Melo is the solution.

9:10am - ARSENAL & NEWCASTLE TARGET SIGNS NEW CONTRACT

RC Lens midfielder Seko Fofana is a player Arsenal and Newcastle have been tracking this summer, but he won't be moving to the Premier League after surprisingly signing a new deal until 2025.

Watch what happened here.

9:05am - ARTETA ADMITS ARSENAL MAY MOVE FOR MIDFIELDER

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admitted after the 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Wednesday that his side may need to sign a midfielder after Mohamed Elneny sustained a serious injury at the weekend.

The Spaniard is also without Thomas Partey, and that prompted the Spaniard to admit that a fresh face could come in - Leicester's Youri Tielemans, out of contract next summer, has long been linked.

"[Elneny's injury] has an impact because also Thomas is injured, and we are a bit short in that position. We have Sambi, players like Granit can play there, but we are looking at options in the market. The club has been super supportive to try to keep improving the team and the squad as we can. If the right player is there and we can do it, we will try."
