LEICESTER OUT OF LUCK
No striker signing incoming for Leicester it seems.
They tried for Ahmed Musa, Loic Remy AND Mame Diouf but couldn’t get any of them over the line.
Ranieri will have to make do with what he has in attack.
ONE HOUR LEFT KLAXON!

Talks were ongoing for a 93-day loan.

The youngster could be offered a new contract with the Foxes.
DONE DEAL!

Right, ok. Quiet one in the Bernabeu.

West Brom absolutely adamant the Englishman isn’t going anywhere. As they have been ALL day.
This will be the last Berahino update of the night.
BREAKING NEWS!
There’s a fox on the Emirates pitch!
THIS IS HUGE!
What a development we have in London…

We’re heading towards the deadline.
Are there any late deals to come?
BREAKING NEWS!
Watford have signed Adalberto Penaranda for a possible £8m+
He joins from Granada and is loaned straight back to his former club.
The club have called it a ‘coup’.

A deal looks likely to be left until the summer, however.
RUMOUR!
Could it be Loic Remy?
Medical all sorted, finalising details now, all ready for 8pm announcement #DeadlineDay

RUMOUR!
John Terry has been offered a move to Qatar club Al Arabi.
Former Chelsea player Gianfranco Zola is currently the manager and hopes to use his connections to seal the deal.
GNABRY UPDATE!
The young German COULD yet still move say Sky Sports News.
Two clubs in the offing: Brighton and Charlton.
RUMOUR MILL!
Right, here’s a half decent one…
Leroy Fer looks close to securing a move to Swansea from QPR.
It’ll be a loan with no reports of any permanent option.
BORO BUSY!
As well as Jordan Rhodes, it looks like Middlesbrough are signing Ritchie De Laet from Leicester.
He’s arrived at the club’s training ground to discuss terms of a loan deal.
WATFORD UPDATE!
Doucoure has just signed. He’s now heading out on loan to Granada in Spain for 6 months.
Also, his fee has been officially declared as ‘undisclosed’, suggesting it isn’t a club record fee.
RUMOUR!
Blackburn are looking at Sunderland’s Jordi Gomez.
It’s something, right…
RUMOUR!
Crystal Palace goalkeeper Alex McCarthy is reportedly at Fulham ahead of a loan move.
Fulham being fairly active today…
RUMOUR!
Right, let’s talk Falcao. Monaco were rumoured earlier as a potential destination for the striker.

Space watched.
DONE DEAL!

What would they be talking about otherwise?
Nope, I have no idea either.
DONE DEAL!

RUMOUR!

Mathieu Debuchy to Bordeaux being finalised but seems Serge Gnabry now likely to stay at Arsenal.
— Jeremy Wilson (@JWTelegraph) February 1, 2016
LEICESTER STRIKER UPDATE 3,985
Right, seems Leicester have narrowed their options down to two players: Loic Remy and Mame Diouf.
Remy wants a loan, but his wages are high – something for the Foxes board to sort through.
Diouf hasn’t been playing much at all for Stoke – would be open to a move.
This has legs…
ARSENAL RUMOUR!
Yaya Sanogo COULD, could be on the verge of signing for Charlton.
This could be interesting…
EUROPEAN RUMOUR!
Looks like Denis Cherysev is joining Gary Neville at Valencia.
Zidane confirmed he could be on the move. Looks like he’s securing a loan deal.
DONE DEAL!
QPR have signed Burton forward Nasser El Khayati.
Jimmy raiding his old stomping ground…

CITY SPEND £45m
It’s being reported that it’s cost Man City £45m to secure Guardiola.
Eye-watering yet still probably worth it…
CHARLTON RELEASE TWO PLAYERS
Charlton have released both Franck Moussa and Ricardo Vaz Te.
It’s all kicking off!
JOSE ENRIQUE!
Looks like the dream move to Newcastle is off.
The Spaniard is said to be gutted as he’ll now have to continue to be paid to sit on his arse for at least a few more months.
Nightmare for him.
LEICESTER STRIKER UPDATE!
Ahmed Musa might well not happen – valuation too high. Dwight Gayle is of interest. So is Loic Remy.
According to reports, the club are also interested in an unnamed ‘big name player’.
Space watching needed…
Odemwingie Watch!
Stoke have reportedly rejected a bid for the striker from Marseille…
I have no idea, don’t ask.
UPDATE!
Berahino time again!
Mark Hughes has done everyone’s job for them…
Mark Hughes on Berahino bid: "West Brom have been quite insistent in their message that Berahino wasn’t available." #deadlineday #nufc
— Simon Bird (@SimonBird_) February 1, 2016
LEICESTER!
Loic Remy IS on the club’s hit list apparently.
But isn’t the priority as it stands…
RUMOUR!
Jose Enrique – remember him?
Reports are suggesting that Newcastle have made contact with Liverpool over the Spaniard.
He is of course a former NUFC player and has not featured prominently for the Merseyside club.
Watch this space…
7.5 hours to go!
It’s been ok across the board – but hardly riveting.
Some deals done but almost certainly other deals yet to go through.
We’ll be with you ALLLL the way.
RUMOUR MILL!
This one involves Southampton and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The latter is reportedly wanted on loan by the south coast club. This is a late one, but might have legs…
It’d be a fantastic signing if Koeman can pull it off!
Odion Ighalo!
Let’s talk about this man…
His name has cropped up a few times today. Manchester United linked, who are said to be looking for goals.
Seems unlikely, but we’ll keep an eye on things.
Story of the day has to be Guardiola to Man City…
Pellegrini confirmed his exit during his press conference – on Deadline Day!
Right, lunch is over…
See below for a full recap on what’s already been and gone so far today.
More Deadline Day news on its way!
RUMOUR!
Jordan Rhodes – that man again!
Middlesbrough are back in for the Scottish striker…
Deal back on!
LIVERPOOL NEWS!
Not quite breaking nor that exciting, but club target Joel Matip has been offered a new deal at Schalke 04 – effectively doubling his wages.
Could impact on the planned move for him in the summer.

DEBUCHY CHAT!
Reports in France are saying the Frenchman is heading to Bordeaux on loan.
That’s 5 clubs he’s been linked with today – and counting…
NON TRANSFER BREAKING NEWS!
Manuel Pellegrini will leave Man City at the end of the season.
Pep Guardiola has also been confirmed as his replacement. He signs a three-year contract.
It’s the biggest story of the day so far!
RUMOUR!
Reports have emerged suggesting a deal to take Falcao back to Monaco could be resurrected today.
That may well impact a move for Loic Remy, who’s been linked with Leicester amongst other clubs.
Worth watching out for.
DONE DEAL!
Looks like Aiden McGeady is heading to Sheffield Wednesday.
Doesn’t sound like a bad signing that, does it?
SCOTLAND UPDATE!
Michael O’Halloran is on his way to Rangers after his club, St Johnstone, accepted a bid from the Glasgow giants.
Colin Kazim-Richards, as we disclosed earlier, is close to a deal for Celtic. Patrick Roberts is also joining on loan from Manchester City.

Let’s talk ASTON VILLA!

— Paul Wheelock (@PaulWheelock) February 1, 2016
DONE DEAL!
Norwich sign young player Ebou Adams from Dartford.
WEST BROM UPDATE!
Berahino has left the Baggies’ training ground early, before training has finished. Interesting.
Also, Tony Pulis is not taking training or a press conference today. He’s away on ‘football related business’.
More to come on those stories, you’d have thought…
WATFORD!
Liverpool have rejected an improved bid for striker Jerome Sinclair.
The Reds want him to use as a makeweight in other deals, reportedly.

More on IMBULA…
He’s not training with Porto according to reports.
That backs up the rumours that he’s having a medical with Stoke.
Could be a sizeable Deadline Day deal this one.
CHAMPIONSHIP!
James Tarkowski looks like he’s heading to Burnley from Brentford.
He’s on his way for a medical…
LEICESTER UPDATE!
Ahmed Musa still being pursued by the club.
Two bids have been rejected over the weekend.

BREAKING NEWS!
Newcastle have launched a THIRD bid for Saido Berahino!
This time £24m.
They’ve dangled the carrot to West Brom, will they get a bite?
Robinho!
He’s been linked with both Leicester and Swansea, remarkably.
His reps have sounded out both clubs.
Surely not…
More on Debuchy…
Could Manchester United be an option for the Frenchman?
Hmm…
Daily Mail linking Manchester United with a move for Debuchy. #SAFC
— Andy (@SAFCsource) February 1, 2016
Don’t forget, Premier League clubs MUST register players before midday today if they’re to be eligible for Tuesday night’s fixtures.
Might see a few deals being pushed over the line as quickly as possible because of that.
CHAMPIONSHIP!
Jordan Rhodes to Middlesbrough WAS off, but could it be back on?
The Scotsman has been to Balckburn’s training ground this morning and then left shortly after.
‘Boro also chasing Graham Dorrans.
More as we hear it…
RUMOUR MILL
Well, well, well… this is interesting.
Could there be a Premier League club willing to do this business today?
Mediaset in Italy with some pretty bold claims that Inter would sell Mauro Icardi today for €25m. Bargain at that price for any club
— Ed Malyon (@eaamalyon) February 1, 2016
CRYSTAL PALACE!
No bids received for striker Dwight Gayle.
He’d been linked with a few clubs, Swansea being one.
Nothing on that front happening as it stands…
Some non-Premier League news coming in…
Zenit have reportedly rejected a €30m bid from Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande for Hulk.
Interesting…
Quick line on Mathieu Debuchy…
Arsene Wenger confirmed there IS a possibility for him to still move in this window.
Suspect it would only be a loan but a number of clubs interested.
We’ll keep you posted on that.
Also on Leicester…
Looks like Ranieri is keen as punch to keep hold of his key players.
Kante, Vardy, Mahrez etc. etc.
No suggestion there’s risk of him losing any of them, but it will be considered successful if he holds onto those.
LEICESTER!
Gokhan Inler to Hamburg?
No, doesn’t look like it. No contact say reports.
RUMOUR!
Are Stoke City looking at signing Imbula from Porto?
It’s been mentioned a few times today…
Status: watch this space.
ARSENAL!
Arsene Wenger has said he’s ‘99%’ sure there will be no business today for his side.
Kieran Gibbs was a name to watch, with a couple of clubs fancying him on loan, but reports suggest that won’t be happening.
More tumbleweed needed then…
We’ve been fairly active so far this morning.
A few deals getting signed off already and a few interesting things to follow across the day.
It’s #TransferDeadlineDay!
BREAKING NEWS!
Watford have agreed a fee with Rennes for Abdoulaye Doucoure.
£8m is the figure.
He’s on his way to the UK to complete the move.
SWANSEA!
Eder looks set to join Lille on loan.
Not massive news but it’s business in Wales…
BOURNEMOUTH!
Rhoys Wiggins is set to become the Cherries’ fourth window signing.
Eddie Howe has signed him FOUR times now…
He’s currently having a medical.
DONE DEAL!
Cardiff have signed a player…

STOKE!
Mark Hughes is potentially interested in Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi.
Peter Odemwingie COULD go the other way as part of the deal.
No confirmed bit yet, but it’s definitely one to monitor…
Newcastle!
They’ve bid for Berahino (a club record bid too). No response yet.
Reports suggest they could look at Gomis of Swansea or Remy of Chelsea if that doesn’t come off.
Seydou Doumbia is on Tyneside to complete his loan move to the club also.
All go in the North-East!
West Ham!
Slaven Bilic says Emmanuel Emenike will be his final foray into the transfer market for this window.
He seemed pleased with his new recruit, though.
Let’s talk Berahino!
West Brom are adamant the striker isn’t leaving today.
Newcastle HAVE submitted a bid but have heard nothing back from the Baggies.
Stoke have also asked to be kept in the loop regarding developments.
One to watch perhaps…
CLOSE!
Everton edging closing to signing Oumar Niasse from Lokomotiv Moskow.
A bid of £13.5m has been submitted.
Lots to do though, for this to get over the line. Medical, personal terms etc.
Liverpool update
Sounds like it will be incredibly quiet today at Melwood.
The Alex Teixeira deal looks unlikely as the valuation of the player differs too much between the two clubs.
Denis Cherysev has also been linked but reports suggest he’s not on the Reds’ radar.
No outgoings expected either.
Where’s that tumbleweed Vine?
Rumour!
Ravel Morrison being looked at by a couple of Premier League clubs.
Both Bournemouth and Aston Villa are said to be exploring the possibility of a deal…
CLOSE!
Colin Kazim-Richards is in Scotland ahead of a possible loan-move to Celtic.
More news on that as it happens.
