some big transfers have been completed today, on the final day of this summer's transfer window — with cristiano ronaldo finally confirmed as manchester united's new blockbuster signing, in a deal worth nearly 13 million pounds. the portuguese striker will be heading back to manchester united, from juventus. he's signed a two—year contract with the option to extend for a further year. so, ronaldo on the way to old trafford. danieljames is leaving. the winger has joined leeds united on a five year deal. the wales international joined manchester united in the summer of 2019, and was the club's player of the month in his first month with the team. and with the ins and outs at old trafford, the big question now is will cristiano ronaldo get to wear his famous number seven shirt this season? danieljames at manchester united wore the number 21 shirt. cavane wears the number

21 shirt for uruguay. if cavane takes the number 21 shirt united, that would leave out the number seven shirt for rinaldo. renaldo wore the number seven shirt all this time at manchester united. cr seven is his moniker, maxim marketing tool. i'm sure manchester united are going to be knocking on the door of the primary league and saying can we do the shirt swap to get renaldo in the number seven shirt? elsewhere, tottenham have signed the barcelona full back emerson royale on a five year deal. the brazilian has spent the past two seasons on loan at real betis. the fee is worth just over £25 million. here are some of the other deals completed today by premier league sides. a late confirmation of odsonne edouard's move from celtic to crystal palace. he joins on a four year deal and is patrick vierra's seventh signing of the window. plenty more happening and you can find more on the bbc sport website.
