eight hundred and 15 million pound january spend and chelsea's britsh record signing of enzo fernandez. despite all the money spent, not everyone got what they want though, as patrick gearey explains.. it ended with enzo this is how they introduce their final signing of the transfer window of the most expensive player ever bought bait a british club. a year ago he was relatively unknown but playing for argentina at the world cup in qatar he grabbed the attention. the tournament's best young player and a winning team. he brings excitement and hope but for 105 million pounds used by certainty. this is the window where they have let the premier league and readied the rules. eight players have a ride for £288 million. more money than all of the clubs in the top divisions in germany, spain, france and italy combined. english clubs may have changed the game forever. i

if you missed any of it yesterday, you can get yourself fully up to date but watching the football news show transfer deadline day available now on bbc iplayer. manchester united already have one foot in the efl final ahead of their second leg against nottingham forest tonight. assuming they can avoid defeat from a 3—0 advantage gained from the first leg in nottingham. manager eric ten hag is now potentially only 100 and 80 minutes away from clinching man united's first piece of silverware since 2017. 0ur correspondent andy swiss is at old trafford... yes, welcome to old trafford, not too many fancy at the moment but you imagine they will be arriving in pretty bullish moves over the next hours of his as you say, united have that healthy three—goal advantage from the first leg. they are in a

terrific run of form here at old trafford. in fact they have won their last 11 matches here. a run which stretches all the way back to october. and of course must recently 0ctober. and of course must recently the baby writing here in the fa cups at the weekend. as far as team news goes for man united they will be without christian eriksen who picked up an ankle injury during that fa cup victory at the weekend. that is a real blow for them, erickson could be out until may. with that in mind united yesterday signed by her munich player as cover for christian eriksen. but united will be desperate to get to wimbley because as you say, this is their longer trophy trout for some a0 years. —— drought. they have not won a victory since the europa league back in 2017 underjose moreno. the current manager knows that this is a golden

have a slim chance. what he wants to see from his players is a performance on the big stage like here at old trafford. because nottingham forest have really structured bully struggled away to the big teams and conceded 16 goals in their away trips will stop for a way to manchester city, arsenal and newcastle. in fact they lost —— lost 3-0 newcastle. in fact they lost —— lost 3—0 in their league match back in december. 0ne 3—0 in their league match back in december. one other blow for nottingham forest as well is that they will be without morgan gives white. he has been such a key player for them the season. he misses out with an ankle injury but he picked up with an ankle injury but he picked up during the first leg match last week. i suppose for should have plenty of other alternatives to look out because they have signed a remarkable 28 players since the summer. including a perfume or yesterday on transfer deadline date including john

yesterday on transfer deadline date including jothoe shall be from newcastle united. including john joe shall be from newcastle united. course the borders of the match here tonight will play newcastle united in the final act wimbley later this month. what an occasion that will be. especially for newcastle united looking to win their first trophy for more than 50 years. so can manchester united book their place in that final act wimbley or can nottingham forest put off what would be one of the most extraordinary comebacks that we have seen, we will find out later on. kick—off is at it clock. —— eight o'clock. manchester united manager marc skinner insists he is "very hopeful" that alessia russo will sign a new contract to remain at the club next season. united rejected a second world record bid of almost five hundred thousand pounds from arsenal for russo on transfer deadline day. the england striker�*s current deal at united expires this summer and she turned down a contract extension injune.

what is very clear is that alessia russois what is very clear is that alessia russo is a manchester united player. so if there were bids they were turned out. so honestly i don't know, i have not asked, i don't really care in all honesty. it is about what we are trying to build here and i think we have been very clear we have a vision. we know what we want to achieve and i think it is a credit to alessia russo and manchester united that the teams would be interested so i think she is a real love for the club and we have a real love her and we will be helpful to the day that we start off the field to do that but me and alessia russo off of the field will be working to for this club's success. tonight in the scottish premiership, there are five games and 15 points at stake. third placed hearts host rangers. with the ibrox side knowing any points dropped would allow celtic to take their advantage at the top into double figures. the league leaders play livingston.

while kilmarnock up against dundee united and st johnstone travel to motherwell. interim aberdeen manager barry robson will be looking to provide some much sought after good news for dons fans when they take on st mirren this evening, following their loss against hibs last weekend and the exit of former managerjim goodwin. players are heartened but in this game you cannot take a month off and say all right, let's go again,. this is why you give credit to you for all players as well. you have to learn how to be strong and come back when you have a bad week. i have been a player and there have been difficult times. you are down there and lost four or five games and you have to try and find a way and fight your way out of the corner. it did not just your way out of the corner. it did notjust happen. tottenham manager antonio conte will have surgery to remove his gall bladder later today.

conte was diagnosed with an inflammation of the gall bladder, after becoming "unwell with severe abdominal pain". the club have said he'll return "following a period of recuperation". spurs' next game is at home to second placed manchester city in the premier league on sunday. conte's side are fifth in the table, 1a points behind league leaders and north london rivals arsenal. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today. the r and a have announced a new golf tournament for golfers with disabilities. the gad 0pen will be a 5a hole event contested by up to 80 players at woburn golf club between the tenth and 12th may. irishman brendan lawlor became the first golfer with a disability to compete on the dp world tour in 2020, and says it's "great news" for golfers. kennenisa bekele will lead the london marathon's elite men's field as four of the five fastest runners in history go head to head in april's race. ethiopian bekele, the second fastest man in history,

with female fans allowed to attend football matches for the first time in 2018, the country has been accused of using events to �*sportswash' its reputation. earlier i spoke to our reporter alex capstick who has been following this story. we are still waiting from the formal announcement from fifa and we don't know the sums of money involved but what will happen is that they will announce a deal has been done with the saudi tourism agency, a major sponsor of this year's world cup in new zealand and australia. the joint hosts and fifa has said the money will be reinvested into the women's game. they want to grow the women's game and they have done it because they have a new commercial strategy in which brands are allowed to sponsor specifically, women's football events. this of course the biggest of the mall. the world cup. the problem is they have not told the organisers in new zealand and australia but they have done this. and the new zealand fa has released

february is the final winter month metre logically speaking so what is the chance for the week ahead of cold weather. not at first in fact over the next few days it looks mild. frontalsystems over the next few days it looks mild. frontal systems to the north of uk bringing rain particular in parts of scotland. wedged between these weather fronts we have this mild air being pulled in off of the atlantic which means it is also very moist air means extensive cloud for many places. that cloud squeezing out spots of drizzle over hills in the west. at the same time heavy rain continues to affect northern parts of scotland. 8 degrees there for rake, generally more highs between 13 degrees what we would expect for the 2nd of february. moving to friday, this weather front briefly drop software it's allowing

something cold for a time into scotland, then it on friday the front moves northeastward skin which will reintroduce the mild air. we will reintroduce the mild air. we will see some spells of sunshine developing particularly for england, wales, northern ireland, a bit more cloudy and patchy rain for scotland. temperatures between seven and 1a degrees. starting the weekend in the mild air as well. quite a lot of cloud over hills in the west with the hotspot of drizzle and then the band of rain pushes south—east words. the head a fat, mild air but behind it, something a little colder. because that rain band is tied in with a cold front. you can tell by the blue triangles here in behind the cold front the air will beat holding —— turning colder. when we get into sunday, we see this area of high pressure building, strongly across the uk. with the area of high pressure building so strongly, it means that we should see plenty of

sunshine. 0nce any early mist has cleared. so sunday, yes, a colder day, eight or 9 degrees, a much brighter day with plenty of sunshine. this area of high pressure is quite pivotal to our forecast for next week. it looks like is to move it to monday the centre of the high will slide away southwards and that will slide away southwards and that will allow a bit more cloud to get into northern ireland, western scotland. weather system, front pushing in from the west but i don't think it will make much progress running up against the there is some uncertainty as we move deeper into next week. let me show you why, this is one particular weather model. this is the european weather model and it allows the centre of our area of high pressure to away eastwards and that would eventually bring us later in the week is a probably southerly flow of air. this will not be particularly warm at this time of year but neither will it be especially cold. there is another computer what are my art i want to show you the american gfs model,

this one shows the centre of the high pressure up and to the north of europe. this will allow us to bring in a easterly wind potentially quite a brisk easterly wind at that and it would make it feel cold. this looks like an extreme solution at this stage. certainly, it does look like during next week it will turn chillier to a greater or lesser extent. probably not too much chillier. it should certainly be largely dry with high—pressure close by, frost and fog likely to develop. that's all for me, bye—bye.
