6:33 pm
hello, and welcome to sportsday, i'm gavin ramjaun. premier league's transfer window has now slammed shut for the summer, with several clubs confirming big money signings. it's all before the season begins tomorrow. there's been delight and disappointment around the grounds this afternoon. joe lynsky is covering it for us. he's alongside our correspondent david 0rnstein. give us an update on all the moves today. the transfer deadline now past 90 minutes ago so barring any last—minute paperwork getting the all clear, fans now know how their teams are going to look for this coming season in england. so obviously a lot of deals have happened today and we will work through some of the key stories with oui’ through some of the key stories with our sports correspondent david 0rnstein. fans looking at now how the whole picture is for their season now the whole picture is for their season now going after this summer tra nsfer season now going after this summer transfer window. before the season sta rts transfer window. before the season starts of course, the window is shutting. let's start with tottenham
6:34 pm
hostpur because this is a said that it make a single signing all of last season but they have an owner in daniel leavy who we know does not give the all clear for any transfers u nless give the all clear for any transfers unless it takes every financial box. perhaps a bit surprising that on wednesday we saw this in the times that they will go for £85 million worth of two players. those two players were set to be philip coutinho and paulo dybala. neither happened. give us a update while this has not happened. philip coutinho was offered around every major club in europe and the premier league and tottenham were not interested in that level of money and i'm not sure he wanted them either. but paulo dybala was there big target. they had worked at him for a long time and also this morning that it was very close to happening but within an hour or so of that message arriving, it was off and it is our understanding that juventus ultimately decided they did not want to sell. we don't know any
6:35 pm
more reasons to that, could be deeper than that and may come out in the coming weeks, months and maybe even longer, maybe never but we know there were issues around agent fox fees, his salary and image rights as well. that was a real blow and not a bad day force of all. let's get to who they brought in as a shame to not focus on the ones they did not get. ryan sessegnon is in him knocking on the england national tea m knocking on the england national team sort —— the work of late. and giovani lo celso. what he think they are getting for these players? they are getting for these players? they are getting for these players? they are getting three excellent players. we talked about ryan sessegnon but he isa we talked about ryan sessegnon but he is a key signing for them because they have been targeting him for a long time. a deal worth £25 million initially and could rise to 30 via performance related add—ons. he is
6:36 pm
now at 19 years old and i think tottenham will bring him into the left side of midfield and long term move him back. he is seen as an england regular in the future by many. he in the five—year contract and tottenham are delighted with that. this is a very special player. giovani lo celso has along with an option to buy and he has spent time alone at p56 and can provide some excellent creativity in the midfield. so perhaps they were disappointed but delighted with these two on deadline day. who can mention those signings last season but they are trying to plug the gap of those 13 defeats. that was a difference between fourth—place and challenging for first. all about shoring up their defence today for arsenal. with kieran tierney and david luiz. let's go to natalie at
6:37 pm
the emirates, will get her at a second. can you hear me, tells what we are getting and what arsenal are getting and 32—year—old david luiz? he was perhaps a surprise signing. if you can hear me. david luiz, something of a surprise perhaps. if you can hear me. david luiz, something of a surprise perhapslj think something of a surprise perhaps.” think that was straight out of left field. we understand there has been no falling out relate with his former team—mate and now the chelsea boss but he did not train with chelsea yesterday. it is felt he was falling down the pecking order. left out of their last preseason match before going to old trafford on sunday to start the season. and frank lampard preferring zuma and christiansen and they have jacob ruediger coming back from injury. so felt by him that he would be forth in that pecking order. £8 million,
6:38 pm
to your deal, don't forget he signed a chelsea extension back in may for 120 grand a week saying he was really happy to be there. so something has happened in the last couple of weeks to make him want to leave and to make frank lampard want to sell him. because they cannot sign anyone else because of the transfer band. i do think for the £8 million, arsenal is getting a good deal. he can be erratic, no denying that but he is a great pastor of the ball and crucially very experienced in of course he has worked with the manager here before. very interesting to see what that slot from west london to north what is going to be like. we saw arsenal finished fifth lasses and missed out on champions league football. have a feel of their chances of getting back into those competitions soon?” think they are very happy for so they missed by one point and scoring goals was never their problem. only city and liverpool scored more goals in the entire premier league. but conceding goals was their issue was
6:39 pm
of only united and it west ham conceding more in the top ten then arsenal. it was quite clear emory had a focus on getting some defenders and. very highly rated from celtic chemical at the hardest decision of his life and reticent to let him go but the third time of trying and now they got their man. they saw —— side nicola pepe the winger. a record signing of the club with 72 million spent on him. so arsenal and out of the back could be an interesting prospect is they can get david luiz to perhaps be a bit lesser radicals that but it will be interesting this year. thank you very much forjoining us from the emirates. we know arsenal trying to plug the gap of these two very experienced players, aaron ramsey and lauren because have left. that is to be challenged in this season. some of the late deals they have gone through on the whistle really full so that 5pm deadline, alex
6:40 pm
iwobi going through late. danny drinkwater going as well. andy carroll going to newcastle where he started. what you make of that? he moved from newcastle to liverpool and tourists went from liverpool to chelsea but we do not perhaps see andy carroll coming back to st. james park but that has happened today. seemingly a surplus requirement at west ham was up has had real injury problems what we know when he is fit he tends to score and cause real trouble for defence. talking of arsenal then, newcastle play arsenal in the opening weekend on sunday. i think the newcastle fans a look of him home like one of their own because he is one of their own. it is exciting for them but really a case of whether he can stay fit and that is why newcastle have only given him a one—year deal. is why newcastle have only given him a one-year deal. over they can get the best out of him again. don't forget that this is a transfer
6:41 pm
deadline for clubs in england to the story is perhaps not over for a couple of players in the premier league. paul pogba and christian eriksen could still move somewhere in your because he deadline it's over there until early september. so keep our eye on those two players. more later on it, including news of romelu lu ka ku's departed more later on it, including news of romelu lukaku's departed from the purely to an italian side but back to you now. thank you very much indeed. exciting start of the season. wolves are in action for the third round of europa league qualification. they're away at armenian side fc pyunik. into the second half in that match, not long to go. 3—0 wolves the latest. we will him and escort his second of the game. wolves, who beat crusaders from belfast in the previous round, play their first european game outside of the uk since 1980. 32 other games happening, including games for rangers and aberdeen. they have just kicked off, new
6:42 pm
saints have. goalless there. arrangers in denmark. rangers are in denmark to play midtjylland at 7pm. aberdeen also play at 7pm. they're away to rijeka in croatia. bury have been given two weeks to save their status in the football league. the efl has suspended their league cup match next week against sheffield wednesday, with the club still needing to provide reassurances over their finances. bury have had their opening two league matches postponed over the ongoing issues and been docked 12 points before the season over the issue. simon stone has been following the story for us. how has it got to this stage? as you say, bury are in severe trouble. they during last season accrued financial debt that they did not really have the wherewithal to pgy- not really have the wherewithal to pay. during the summer, they went into voluntary arrangement and the clu b felt into voluntary arrangement and the club felt and the club's owner felt
6:43 pm
that it would take the club forward into the new season. but crucially when he signed in december, he did not subject himself to the leaks fit and proper persons test and that test requires not only to show that you have the wherewithal to run the football clu b you have the wherewithal to run the football club but also to carry on running the club for another year or two and to pay the cva they have been agreed during the summer. the efl are still waiting for that detail. the owner has said it will ta ke detail. the owner has said it will take time to do that but he says he has submitted all the information he was initially asked for. but unless he comes up with the greater detail, 125 years of football league history at bury will come to an end. and as you rightly say, the efl have given bury 14 days and unless they come up with the information in 14 days,
6:44 pm
bury face extinction from the football league. we understand issues with bolted in the same division? that is right. a possible owner of bolton has gone to the high court and asked basically for a ta keover court and asked basically for a takeover in the process of going through to be halted. the people who are wanted to take over the football ventures consortium are going to go back to the high court to try and get this overturned. but unless they can do that, again, the future of bolton wanderers will be in doubt. simon stone, thank you very much indeed with the latest on bury and bolton. england lionesses captain steph houghton has spoken about the penalty myths against the us in the women's world cup. she spoke as a
6:45 pm
pa rt women's world cup. she spoke as a part of a campaign to end a period poverty and get more young girls into playing football.” poverty and get more young girls into playing football. i think for me the journey that i have been on and the path i have been on it, i don't know what i would've done without support. to hear about girls potentially missing out on these chances because of, this is what i need to do is take every chance to do so and we have these products are available that allow me to do this after school and to find something you enjoy doing. it was always difficult. the person that i am, i'm a perfectionist and i promise obama performances and make sure i do everything i can for the team. i did not quite get the connection that i wa nted not quite get the connection that i wanted on the penalty but people knew that i was brave enough to take it and knew that i was brave enough to take itandi knew that i was brave enough to take it and i know that it is not defined me as it and i know that it is not defined measa it and i know that it is not defined me as a person or a player and all that. i felt that holter limit, me as a person or a player and all that. ifelt that holter limit, i played well and was in good form and
6:46 pm
i gave everything that i could possibly get for my country and still disappointed but at the same time, i know that football moves quickly on an mi focus is with city and england over the next few months. i think it is great to get back into it but at the same time, i think we have to look after the players a little bit more. i think only potentially two or three weeks off, i think, only potentially two or three weeks off, ithink, aftera only potentially two or three weeks off, ithink, after a road to only potentially two or three weeks off, i think, after a road to been playing seven games is quite intense both physically and mentally. —— mentally. but city you been on blue but with us. they havejesus back into training and we will —— they have eased us back in the training and hopefully fire on all cylinders on the first they of the season. it will be amazing. i think the dream is to play at wembley for your country and we have that chance play against germany and to hear that
6:47 pm
over 50,000 exhibits old already and we have a few months ago, hopefully a few more get to the door. but as an english player, it is going to be s0 an english player, it is going to be so exciting. let's take a look at some of the other sports headlines today. leroy sunday will undergo surgery after sustaining an injury against chelsea in the community shield. another big name from international cricket has retired. south african batsman hashim amla has called time on his national side after playing 349 matches in all formats for his country. over a 15—year career playing for south africa, he made more than 18,000 runs and scored 55 centuries. he'll continue to play domestic cricket. silverstone have provisionally announced that next year's british grand prix will take place on sunday the 19th ofjuly. this date has been picked to avoid

6:49 pm
ha rd i don't mean to cry but it is just hard coming here for an organisation and having how i felt so many times. we had one goal and we have done everything they asked us for even we did not want to in they could not do onejob. you had onejob! you literally had onejob onejob. you had onejob! you literally had one job and you could not protect us! initially set because it was my go to the doctor oi’ because it was my go to the doctor or the trainer, i don't want to get worked on. my body hurts, i'm 22 and at the end of the day, that is my fifth rotation and i have to put myself through therapy but it is just hard and you work through it but it will take some time. i am strong, i will get through it. and nine—time olympic champion carl lewis has used his visit to the pan—am games in peru to give his opinion on president trump. lewis, who's in lima to present the 100m and long jump medals at the games, also didn't hold back when asked about equality in america. we are in america and have eight
