flag for black swimmers people would say, stair the water, people can't swim. not look particularly pleasant day, as that rain drifts its way steadily eastwards. drier and brighter to the hello and welcome to sportsday. north, highs of 12—15. i can offer good evening, we're just a few hours away you something a bit quieter as we from the transfer window closing. ”pm in england midnight in scotland. head into the weekend. rain easing before today, chelsea, everton and tottenham could claim to have done the best bits away from the south, but quieter, colder but drier next weekend. of business over the past 2 months, that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me 00:01:40,412 --> 2147483051:37:34,921 and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s 2147483051:37:34,921 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 news teams where you are. werner, rodriguez, bale, but what other stars are heading the premier league. let's get the very latest from our deadline day duo, austin halewood and simon stone, austin. thanks olly — well after that crazy day yesterday in the premier league.

it looks like manchester united's huge 6—1 defeat against tottenham has sparked some action at old trafford. simon, its looks like the former paris saint germain forward edison cavani will sign, as will porto defender alex telles — what can you tell us about them — and there's other deals they are trying to do on top of that aren't there? we expect them to sign, we do not think that is a problem, the deadline is 11 o'clock, he will arrive and there was a long term interest in him. ousmann dembele of barcelona was another player in the frame. whether they can get that one of the line remains to be seen, recently, i

found that an agreement is being reached for manchester united to sell christian lassies in the loan, the difficulty with that is the italian transfer deadline closes at around half an hour, so there is a rush to get the work done on that. we are also looking at people going back to southampton, everton are looking for a goalkeeper, they're looking for a goalkeeper, they're looking for a goalkeeper, they're looking for on three or four different options and that puts a? over antonio at chelsea. it looks like he's going to be leaving somewhere unknown, but we do know where yet. is been the united target but how difficult is it that they did not get that over the line and why did they not get it of the line? he should have been off to

manchester united and they were not going to lower their asking price which is over £2 million, dominant of maintaining throughout and they have no interest in selling sancho, they have no need to sell sancho and united missed out on him and they have been engaged in the scramble to get deals of the line and that is where cavani comes in, everyone knew he was available in united presumably thought he was the back—up option that they can get done fairly quickly and that is why they have ended up with cavani rather than sancho. well we've had some comments in on social media using the hashtag bbc football — lots of them are about manchester united. joe wedgewood says why aren't united in for antonio rudiger? surely would be a straightforward move. club in disarray. maguire is not even close to being good enough.

and daniel quirk says utd can sign all the forwards till the cows come home. we will still be left with an abysmal defence #bbcfootball. so, simon, united fans clearly think they could do with some defensive recruits. manchester think we have strength in depth in central defence, but the problem is the place that they've got don't seem to be playing very well and maguire clearly had a very poor game yesterday. the invested £18 million in them and they were expecting him to perform a lot better than he did. we're going to look at arsenal now. they've had their eyes on a couple of targets all summer long. atletico madrid midfielder, thomas partay is one of them. now arsenal are trying to get a deal done. partey has a 45 million pound buy—out clause. so can they get it done?

well from spain, our spanish football expert guillem balluge, isn't too sure... what you've got is a midfielder with the ability to pass short and long with quality. very intelligent in the way he moves, brave and the way he pressures and helps the team with high dynamism. what to teach football is something that he enjoys doing and does very well. he is strong, fast is midfielder and so, you've got a lot to like from him. so still work to do for arsenal to sign partey — meanwhile everton have been the biggest spenders of deadline day. they signed defender ben godfrey from norwich this morning for 25 million — that could go up to 30 million well, theo walcott could be leaving the club. he's hoping to re—join southampton on loan for the rest of the season. tottenham full—back

ryan sessegnon is heading to the bundesliga to join hoffenheim on loan. and arsenal's matteo guedouzi is leaving the emirates on loan. he's heading to hertha berlin for the rest of the season. finally, simon — any others? ido i do not think the split would be clu bs. i do not think the split would be clubs. getting that will be interesting to west ham could be trying to sign a central defender and this is deals in the offering and this is deals in the offering and it will be difficult to get them over the line, but the difficult one will be, if ever to get a goalkeeper, he is england's number one keeper. of course you can keep across all of the very latest from transfer deadline day on the bbc sport website and across bbc sport's social media, and just as a reminder, while this is the final day of the transfer window

for all of europe's major leagues. there is still a uk—only window that runs until next friday. so, in that clubs from the efl can still do deals with other efl teams and teams from the premier league — but premier league sides can't conduct any transfers with other premier league teams or clubs from abroad. but that's the latest so far, olly — with just over four hours to go. tammy abraham, jadon sancho and ben chilwell have been told that they can'tjoin up with england today while the fa tries to ascertain if the trio pose a risk to the squad. abra ham has apologised after a surprise birthday party was thrown for him on saturday with a reported 20 people in attendance, breaking covid guidelinessancho and chilwell were also there. in a statement, abraham says he was totally unaware of what was planned but says he would like to

wholeheartedly apologise for the naivety shown by all. sancho has also taken to soical media to say sorry. england play 3 matches in the next nine days starting with a friendly against wales on thursday manchester city's raheem sterling won't be involved. he picked up a minor hamstring issue in city's draw against leeds over the weekend and has withdrawn from the squad. here's the former city and england defender mikah richards while a looked for him for inspiration coming off the left. it isa inspiration coming off the left. it is a big blow for sydney and england, so if it was going to get injured, is pretty much studying the get the chance for young player to go in there but fingers crossed that the injury is not too bad. the rfu has launched an investigation into sales
