Deadline day essentials

Club-by-club guide to the completed deals

In-depth analysis of players your club needs

Premier League players without a club

18.52: BREAKING NEWS: Michael Essien is NOT in Chelsea's squad tonight... Could he be on his way to Arsenal?

18.48: BREAKING NEWS: Daniel Sturridge is on the bench tonight for Chelsea for their Super Cup match against Atletico Madrid... surely he won't be joining Liverpool then?

18.42: Colin Young reports that Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill has told strikers Fraizer Campbell, Connor Wickham and Ji-Dong Won to fight for their club futures, if he decides to keep them. O'Neill has so far rejected loan offers for all three frontmen he inherited from Steve Bruce but has not ruled temporary deals with Championship clubs as he assesses his squad after the closure of the transfer window. 'There have been tentative inquiries for quite a number of my boys but nothing has developed,' O'Neill said. 'I would not want to leave myself short although we have a number of strikers now with Ji coming back. I am happy we have the people but a number of players I think could benefit from going out on loan. I have to temper that with what is here.'

18.38: BREAKING NEWS: England international Jay Bothroyd is set to join Sheffield Wednesday on loan from QPR. I'd expect to see several more departures from Loftus Road before the window closes given how bloated their squad now is following a dozen arrivals this summer.

18.34: Rafael van der Vaart - who today left Spurs in a 10.2m deal - has spoken of his delight at 'coming back home' after rejoining Hamburg four years after he left the club for Real Madrid. 'It feels a bit like I am coming back home,' he said. 'Everybody knows that I still have a strong bond with Hamburg and it is a compliment when a club wants you every year. This season was the right time.'

On his way: Stefan Savic is set to swap places with Man City-bound Fiorentina defender Matija Nastasic

18.31: Nigerian defender Efe Ambrose is at Celtic is ahead of his proposed move to the club. The Hoops have today rejected a bid from Huddersfield for striker Anthony Stokes.

18.27: All is quiet from the western front, but I'm sure that won't remain the case for long. There are no doubt lots of 'I's being dotted and 'T's being crossed right now.

18.16: Here's a reminder of a few of the deals we're waiting to be completed... both Hugo Lloris and Joao Moutinho are locked in talks with Spurs after the club agreed transfer fees with Lyon and Porto respectively. Spurs are also attempting to hijack Liverpool's bid for Clint Dempsey, while the Reds are also pursuing a loan move for Daniel Sturridge. Expected more deals from Man City too, who are looking to tie up deals for Matija Nastasic and Javi Garcia. And, of course, there are bound to be a few surprises!

18.09: DONE DEAL: Former Liverpool forward Ryan Babel has returned to Ajax on a free transfer after his contract at Hoffenheim was cancelled. Another player who hasn't yet lived up to his hype.

18.07: DONE DEAL: Gael Kakuta has joined Vitesse Arnhem on loan from Chelsea. His career hasn't take off as it was expected too...

18.00: Norwich City have reportedly made enquiries for Stoke's Cameron Jerome and West Ham's Carlton Cole as they look to bring in a striker before the deadline.

Heading home: Van der Vaart has rejoined Hamburg from Spurs

TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY: 5 HOURS TO GO

17.48: Stephane Mbia, who is currently having a medical at QPR, has been speaking about his transfer to England: 'I'm very happy to come to England. It is my dream. I want to do my best. I'm just so happy to come, and I want to impress in the Premier League. I just want to play football, which was my dream when I was young. I've come to sign for QPR and everyone is happy,' he said.'

17.41: DONE DEAL: Swindon have made their third signing of the day, bringing in midfielder Giles Coke on loan from Sheffield Wednesday. He joins Adam Rooney and John Bostock at the County Ground.

17.39: BREAKING NEWS: It is understood that Spurs have made a late bid for Clint Dempsey to rival Liverpool's. The American turned down Aston Villa earlier today.

Italian job: Nicklas Bendtner has moved to Juventus on a season-long loan deal

17.35: BREAKING NEWS: Genk and Belgium striker Christian Benteke, 21, is on a plane to Birmingham to try and complete his move to Aston Villa.

17.27: DONE DEAL: Juventus have confirmed the signing of striker Nicklas Bendtner on a season-long loan deal from Arsenal.

17.22: Colin Young is reporting that Jermaine Jenas did not turn Sunderland down, because they were never interested in him in the first place. Reports earlier in the day suggested a deal over a permanent move was agreed between the two clubs. We're still expecting him to be reunited with Martin Jol at Fulham.

17.20: BREAKING NEWS: Neil Ashton is reporting that Michael Owen is very close to joining Stoke on a free transfer. I'll bring you more on that when I get it.

17.18: DONE DEAL: Burnley have signed Hull winger Cameron Stewart on loan.

Club record: Pablo Hernandez has joined Swansea for 5.5m

17.14: More from Pablo Hernandez on his club record move to Swansea... 'I want to thank the club and Michael Laudrup for making me feel like a very important player. Now I want to repay that faith on the football field. Swansea is a very important football club and will only keep getting better. They were a good side last year and look even better so far this season. I watched the game against West Ham on TV last week and they played some good football. I also liked the atmosphere; the fans are good and together with Michael Laudrup's presence it's an exciting package.'

17.11: DONE DEAL: David McGoldrick has joined Coventry on loan from Nottingham Forest until January.

17.06: John Edwards reports that Nicklas Bendtner's move to Juventus appears all cut and dried after he was booked to appear on their in-house television station early Friday evening. The former Arsenal striker has spent the afternoon undergoing a medical at the Turin hospital Juventus always use for checking prospective new signings and will be taken from there to the club's television studios for a 7.30pm (UK time) interview with their media staff.

17.05: Hernandez sounds delighted about his move to Swansea. 'I am very happy. It's my dream, to play in the Premier League,' the winger has said. Michael Laudrup has made some very shrewd signings this summer to replace the likes of Joe Allen, Scott Sinclair, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Steven Caulker.

Stalling: Joao Moutinho's move to Fulham has hit a snag

17.02: BREAKING NEWS: Spurs' move for Joao Moutinho is reportedly stalling over the Portuguese's personal terms.

16.55: DONE DEAL: Peterborough have signed midfielder Kane Ferdinand (cousin of Rio) on a four-year deal from Southend for an undisclosed fee.

16.51: Colin Young is reporting that Jermaine Jenas is likely to opt for a move to Fulham after turning down Sunderland.

Earning his Spurs: Lloris looks set to sign for Tottenham

16.49: Dnipro midfielder Derek Boateng has revealed that his potential move to Fulham has hit a snag. The Ghanaian has tweeted: 'Have problems with move to @FulhamFC Deal in doubt now'.

16.45: It seems we've hit that stage in the day between fees being agreed for players and medicals and paperwork being completed. Among those we are waiting on are: Stephane Mbia (Marseille to QPR), Javi Garcia (Benfica to Man City), Matija Nastasic (Fiorentina to Man City), Hugo Lloris (Lyon to Spurs) and Joao Moutinho (Porto to Spurs).

16.41: Riath Al-Samarrai reports that Swansea are suffering a bit in the market this afternoon. A deal for Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha doesn't appear to be going anywhere and sources at Swansea fear Aston Villa will beat them to the signing of Crewe captain Ashley Westwood.  

16.36: John Edwards reports that Nir Biton's hopes of landing a dream move to Tottenham have been dashed by red tape. The 20-year old Israel midfielder flew to London with FC Ashdod owner Jacky Ben-Zaken but was unable to secure a work permit ahead of the transfer deadline.

16.35: Spurs fans have been having a laugh at the expense of Maicon on the news of his arrival at Man City (see picture below). Maicon was, of course, famously roasted by Gareth Bale in two Champions League ties two seasons ago.

Taxi for Maicon: Spurs fans have a laugh at the expense of Maicon

16.34: Mark Hughes has confirmed that Esteban Granero has received international clearance in time to be available for tomorrow's game at Man City.

16.27: DONE DEAL: Chelsea defender Nathaniel Chalobah has joined Watford on a loan deal until January.

16.23: Colin Young is reporting that Wolves boss Stale Solbakken is trying to push through a deal for Stoke midfielder Glenn Whelan. Tony Pulis has now got more midfielders than I've had hot dinners, so that one wouldn't surprise me.

16.21: Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Liverpool's interest in taking Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun back to Anfield on loan. You can understand why some deals are left late, but others - like that one - baffle me. Why not get it done earlier in the summer? Still, it makes for good fun for us!

16.19: BREAKING NEWS: Man City have agreed a 24m deal with Benfica for midfielder Javi Garcia. The Spaniard's deal will go through tonight subject to a medical.

Fee agreed: Javi Garcia (left) is set to join Man City in a 24m deal

16.18: Colin Young reports that Middlesbrough hope to have seen off interest in striker Marvin Emnes from Swansea City. Boss Tony Mowbray has said: 'I am not anticipating any late calls unless that is a tactic from certain clubs. I don't think it's a wise tactic because I would suggest we won't be selling as he is a player we would need to replace and it is getting late in the day.'

16.13: Brendan Rodgers has just been quizzed by the press on several players who have been rumored to be joining Liverpool. He gave a flat 'no' to suggestions of Theo Walcott and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar signing, but was happy to discuss the talents of Daniel Sturridge. Hmm...

16.09: Southampton boss Nigel Adkins has confirmed that the club are trying to rush through a deal for Gaston Ramirez. The club having been chasing the Uruguayan for weeks and Adkins has confirmed they are 'very, very close'.

16.04: DONE DEAL: Colin Young reports that Hull have signed midfielder Stephen Quinn from Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee. The Irishman signs a three-year deal at the KC Stadium.

16.02: Well, what a day it's been so far. I can't remember a deadline day being this frantic. The combination of the Euros pushing deals back and the Olympics pushing the start of the season back has led to a busier than ever deadline day.

Done deal: Maicon is unveiled as a Man City player

TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY: 7 HOURS TO GO

15.58: Right, that's it from me. My estimable colleague Joe Ridge picks up the baton from here to take us through to 11pm. Bye.

15.54: Stoke have made an inquiry about Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson. Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is ready to listen to 8million offers for the England international, who has already turned down a move to Fulham.

Liverpool are not prepared to allow the former Sunderland midfielder to leave on loan, which rules out a move back to Wearside.

15.49: Former boyband member Anthony Costa (of Blue fame, remember?) is at Spurs Lodge, hanging around with the fans at the gates of the training complex. Cringe.

15.48: Hugo Lloris is at Spurs lodge, I repeat...

15.46: Marseille sporting director Jose Anigo has confirmed Joey Barton's arrival depended on Stephane Mbia joining QPR.

Barton has passed a medical and took part in a light training session this morning.

Anigo told reporters: 'The two clubs have reached an agreement. Mbia still has to find one with QPR. Then Joey will be here.'

Oooh la la! 'Beats the rain,' says Joey Barton on his view during the transfer window

15.39: More news for you QPR fans: Stephane Mbia has touched down in London and is now traveling to a secret location in Surrey to complete his medical. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he's heading to Tesco in Camberley. I could be wrong.

15.30: DONE DEAL: Richard Wright has joined Manchester City.

15.23: DONE DEAL: Dimitar Berbatov is a Fulham player. The Bulgarian joins the Cottagers on a 5million deal, four years after signing for Manchester United for 30.75m.

On the move, Berbatov said: 'I'm delighted to have signed for Fulham and I look forward to playing under Martin Jol once again.

'As soon as I was aware of Fulham's interest my decision to join was an easy one to make. I'm impressed with the set up here and the people have made me feel welcome. There is a close and personal feel around the Club and I can't wait to get started.' 

15.16: Here's some very big (potential) news: Chelsea's hopes of signing Bayer Leverkusen forward Andre Schurrle before the transfer window closes are fading and so they are planning to turn their attention to former Tottenham target, Marseille striker Loic Remy.

15.12: Gary Neville's two pennies (via Twitter, bien sur): 'What the transfer deadline gives you is a clear indication of which are the badly run football clubs!!!'

Over to you, Tottenham.

United front: Berbatov says he is excited about his future after joining Fulham

15.08: Mail on Sunday's Joe Bernstein writes: 'England's one-cap wonder Jay Bothroyd is expected to join Sheffield Wednesday on loan today after being told he is surplus to requirements at QPR.

'Bothroyd, 30, had several Championship clubs chasing him including Brighton but Wednesday manager Dave Jones is favourite to sign him before tonight's 11pm deadline with QPR paying a portion of the striker's 40,000-a-week wages.'

15.04: Big news for Manchester City fans and this could be the biggest deal of the day: Manchester City and Benfica have come to agreement over Javi Garcia - in the region of 24million.

TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY: 8 HOURS TO GO

14.56: Roque Santa Cruz (remember him?) is undergoing a medical at Malaga.

14.53: Newcastle defender Paul Dummett has travelled to Scotland for talks over a loan move with St Mirren boss Danny Lennon. The Wales Under 21 defender, who can play at left-back or centre-half, could be included in the Saints squad to face Aberdeen tomorrow.

14.52: And another one who could be coming into Craven Cottage today is Ashkan Dejegah. The Wolfsburg midfielder is in talks with the club who have been very active in the transfer market. This follows news the club have agreed a fee with Lyon for midfielder Michel Bastos. 

14.51: DONE DEAL: Rafael van der Vaart has signed for Hamburg.

14.50: Nobody panic, but a helicopter has just arrived at Craven Cottage. Is Dimitar Berbatov in it? I don't have a clue.

14.47: Hull City winger Jordan Stewart has joined Championship rivals Burnley. The 21-year-old former Manchester United junior, who has played 50 games for the Tigers, has been allowed to leave by new boss Steve Bruce for an undisclosed fee. The initial deal at Turf Moor is for a loan until January.

To be Frank: Van der Vaart poses with sporting director Arnesen and his new Hamburg shirt

14.43: There's mixed news from Swansea. The proposed deals for Feyenoord's Cabral and Westwood of Crewe have fallen through, though there is still some hope at the Liberty Stadium that the latter can be resurrected.

Valencia winger Hernandez, meanwhile, is having his medical and international clearance has been granted for Itay Shechter to join on loan from Kaiserslautern.

14.36: Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has launched an attack on Tottenham chairman Daniel levy over the transfer of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to north London.

Aulas said: 'The negotiation with the Tottenham directors has been the hardest I have ever had to undergo in these 25 years.

'We had email exchanges which have been contradicted, so that's made it very complicated. It's difficult. The Tottenham board's theory is to explain that the economic market is very hard and so we have to get used to renegotiating.'

Brinkmanship is the name of the game in that deal.

14.32: Chelsea may have their work cut out prising Andre Schurrle away from Bayer Levekusen, after sporting director Rudi Voller reiterated, as recently as Thursday night, their determination to hang on to him. Voller insisted Chelsea would be wasting their time launching another bid and that Leverkusen's Germany forward would be staying put.

14.29: Alan Pardew has ruled out any last minute deals. The Newcastle manager, who held talks with chairman Mike Ashley after securing his side's place in the Europa Cup group phase, is satisfied his squad can handle a sustained European campaign.

Handy Andy: Carroll has been training at Upton Park following his departure from Liverpool

14.18: Celtic are celebrating sealing their place in the Champions' League group stage by closing in on Belgium striker Marvin Ogunjimi.

The 24-year old, of Nigerian descent, has been playing for Standard Liege, on loan from Mallorca, and is believed to be in Glasgow for talks with Celtic boss Neil Lennon.

14.15: Aston Villa are set to make a renewed bid for striker Christian Benteke, after his club Genk stepped up their quest for a suitable candidate to replace him.

Genk are believed to be closing in on Mons marksman Jeremy Perbet, last season's Belgian League top scorer and a target for Everton and Leicester earlier this year.

Should they land him, they would listen to an improved Villa bid for 21-year old Belgium striker Benteke, after turning down an initial 6million offer that was exclusively revealed in Sportsmail earlier this week. Villa are desperate for more firepower and made an unsuccessful pre-deadline approach for Fulham's Clint Dempsey.

14.10: Rafael van der Vaart has agreed terms with Hamburg and the two clubs have agreed a fee. All done now, bar the shouting. All the details on that move can be found here.

14.06: Swansea are in discussions for Crystal Palace wideman Wilfred Zaha. But the 6m asking price hasn't gone down well. Could be one that drags on for the rest of the day.

Great Scott! Sinclair has joined champions Manchester City from Swansea

TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY: 9 HOURS TO GO

13.57: Right, Manchester City fans, here's an update for you: Maicon will cost Manchester City 4m because he's in the last year of his contract. City will get the same figure from AC Milan for De Jong because he also has 12 months left. Scott Sinclair is 6.2m plus add-ons. Javi Garcia will cost 20m and Matija Nastasic 12m including Savic and both should be confirmed later.

13.42: DONE DEAL: Giovani dos Santos's time at Tottenham has come to an end. The diminutive Mexican has joined Real Mallorca on a four-year deal.

13.32: DONE DEAL: Maicon has joined Manchester City. Gareth Bale's doing a little jig as we speak.

13.30: BREAKING NEWS: Tottenham have agreed a 22million fee for Porto playmaker Joao Moutinho. Boom! Further details yet to unravel, but this is a potentially huge coup for the north Londoners. You can read the latest on that transfer here.

13.28: Stephane Mbia is on his way to London to sign for QPR. But there's something far more interesting coming your way in one moment... (wait for it).

13.22: In other news: Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky has lost his case against fellow billionaire Roman Abramovich. Will that news propel the Blues back into the transfer market? Roman's got a few spare billion at his disposal now!

13.20: DONE DEAL: Celta Vigo confirm the signing of Park Chu-young from Arsenal. He will be presented at 5pm Spanish time tonight.

13.18: Danny Rose is heading to the Sunderland from Tottenham, but  Jermaine Jenas's move to the Stadium of Light is off, despite clubs agreeing a deal. Martin O'Neill still hoping to revive deal and convince former Newcastle midfielder to move to North East.

Give us a smile! The Spurs full-back looks delighted to have joined Sunderland on a season-long loan

13.12: DONE DEAL: Swindon have signed Swansea City defender Fede Bessone on a six-month contract.

13.08: Man City fan Mike Elliott writes: 'I'm happy that Manchester City finally signed Sinclair, but we definitely need Maicon or some other right back.

'Our defence looked a little suspect against Liverpool, but Kolo Toure didn't really help that... I wouldn't mind seeing his name on the transfer list. Why do we have so many left backs, but not right backs?'

13.07: Danny Rose is Martin O'Neill's fifth summer signing following the arrivals of Carlos Cueller, Louis Saha, Steven Fletcher and Adam Johnson. O'Neill is now hoping to secure a permanent deal for Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas.

TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY: 10 HOURS TO GO

Done deal: Adam has made the switch from Liverpool to join Stoke City

12.38: Steven Nzonzi's agent spotted entering Stoke's training ground. How many midfielders do they want? Nzonzi is desperate for a new club after a series of fall-outs with Steve Kean at Blackburn last season.

But he must surely look at a Stoke midfield already populated by Glenn Whelan, Dean Whitehead, Rory Delap, Wilson Palacios, recent signing Geoff Cameron and, imminently, Charlie Adam and wonder exactly where he might fit in.

12.35: The exit of Rafael van der Vaart is one thing, but we will certainly miss his wife, Sylvie, too. She's said her goodbyes on Twitter a couple of moments ago: 'Thank you Spurs, and all the fans for an amazing time! You guys have the greatest team in England. Will love you always #coys Time to go home now.'

12.29: DONE DEAL: Aston Villa have confirmed they have completed the signing of Chesterfield striker Jordan Bowery for an undisclosed fee on a three-year contract.

12.25: BREAKING NEWS: Spurs fans were looking at Gylfi Sigurdsson and Mousa Dembele coming in for Luka Modric and Rafael van der Vaart and feeling slightly short-changed. But news coming in now is that Tottenham have agreed a fee for Porto playmaker Joao Moutinho. Could be as much as 30m. More on that as and when I get it.

12.22: DONE DEAL: Wigan's highly-rated Spanish defender Roman Golobart has joined League One Tranmere on loan.

The 20-year old - Inverness' player-of-the-year after spending last season there on loan under former England centre-back Terry Butcher - will be at Prenton Park until the beginning of October.

Blockbuster move: Moutinho could be heading to join AVB at Tottenham

12.16: DONE DEAL: Scott Sinclair has completed his switch to Manchester City.

On confirming his move to the champions, he said: 'I'm just glad everything is settled and that I'm now a City player. There were times when I thought it might not happen so I'm relieved that I'm here and I can't wait to get started.

'Playing alongside some of the best players in the world is exciting for me and when you see two Champions League fixtures against Real Madrid on the horizon, it brings it all home.'

Full details on that switch can be found here.

12.08: Rafael van der Vaart has now landed in Germany as he arrives for his medical. Still nothing coming out of White hart Lane regarding replacements, but there are 11 hours to go - an eternity in the north Londonders' eyes.

12.00: Right, any players who complete their deals after this point will NOT be eligible to play in the weekend's fixtures. Have some of that.

TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY: 11 HOURS TO GO

11.53: Hello? It's all gone a bit quiet out there. Few things we're waiting on: Everton to confirm Bryan Ovideo deal, Sunderland are very close to taking Danny Rose on loan and Jermaine Jenas on a permanent deal and Rafael van der Vaart is heading to Germany for a medical ahead of returning to Hamburg. Spurs will end the day with fewer players than Portsmouth at this rate.

Plus the Clint Dempsey saga is sure to take a number of twists before his fate is decided later today. 

11.45: More from Michael Owen on Twitter: 'Don't you just hate it when clubs agree an 'undisclosed fee'? Come on clubs, spill the beans.'

Fulham Manager Martin Jol said: 'Kieran is a proven top-level player, who has the versatility to play a number of positions.

'He will bring all-round quality which will add strength to our squad and I'm confident that he will adapt well to our style of football, and make an impact for us.'

11.28: And Clint Dempsey's future is anything but decided. Aston Villa moved into pole position, Liverpool are interested but are struggling to get the cash together for him. You can find all the news right here.

11.26: Tottenham have shipped out another midfielder. Yep, another player that helped Spurs finish fourth last year is deemed surplus to requirements. Here's the details on Rafael van der Vaart's impending exit to Hamburg.

11.24: Here are the details on Nigel de Jong's move to AC Milan. Manchester City fans, are you sad to see him go?

11.19: Stephen Quinn to Hull looks a done deal. Had his medical last night and looks set to join Steve Bruce at the KC Stadium. 

Proper Charlie: Adam's career at Anfield looks to be coming to a close after Liverpool agreed a fee with Stoke

11.10: More from Swansea who say a 5m move for Middlesbrough striker/winger Marvin Emnes is 'dead' following the deal to sign Pablo Hernandez from Valencia.

Club expect to sign only two more players, with Feyenoord winger Jerson Cabral one target. The Holland Under 21 international would cost in the region of 1.5m, but it is understood he wants to stay in Holland.

The other target is Crewe skipper Ashley Westwood, 22, but he is aware that it is unlikely he will go into the first team. Decisions, decisions...

11.08: Stoke have agreed a fee with Liverpool for midfielder Charlie Adam.

11.07: Roberto Mancini has said he is hopeful of securing the signatures of Inter Milan full-back Maicon, Fiorentina defender Matija Nastasic and Benfica's defensive midfielder Javi Garcia.

10.51: Lille to keep Newcastle target Mathieu Debuchy - leaving Alan Pardew to look elsewhere for possible Ryan Taylor replacement.

'We have had no approach and anyway Mathieu wants to play Champions League with us,' said Lille president Michel Seydoux.

City slickers: Maicon and Nastasic are two players Mancini is hoping to sign

10.43: Chris writes: 'I think Michael Owen has, by and large, conducted himself well throughout his career but today's twitter activity does have an air of desperation around it.

'Even so still think he has a lot to offer. Actually think he could do a job at Liverpool!!'

Worth noting that Owen is a free agent, he can sign for a team whenever he wants - he isn't constrained by the 11pm deadline.

Which segues nicely into this: the deadlines around Europe are: Germany 5pm, Italy 6pm, Holland 6pm, Portugal 11pm, Spain 11pm, UK 11pm, France 4th September.

10.40: Some other odds and ends to tidy up: Leicester striker Jermaine Beckford in talks with Huddersfield. Hull defender Liam Cooper has turned down a loan move to Portsmouth. and Sportsmail understands that Jordan Henderson has turned down switch to Fulham. Wonder if Sunderland would be interested?

10.39: DONE DEAL: Jay Spearing has moved to Bolton on loan.

10.37: Bryan Oviedo's move to Everton is on the verge of being completed. The Toffees have agreed a fee with FC Copenhagen and David Moyes is in London with the player for his work permit hearing.

10.33: DONE DEAL: Former Barcelona midfielder Andrea Orlandi has joined Brighton from Swansea. Orlandi had his Swansea contract cancelled to enable a free transfer after five years in south Wales.

Sticky situation: Oviedo could be joining the Toffees today

10.32: Forgotten man John Bostock has left Tottenham on loan (again) and joined Paolo Di Canio at Swindon.

10.28: One man who is gasping for a move to reinvigorate a stuttering career is Jermaine Jenas. Sportsmail understands Tottenham are in talks with Sunderland over a permanent move for the midfielder.

And Martin O'Neill says he wants Connor Wickham, Ji Dong-Won and Fraizer Campbell to fight for their places after turning down loan offers for trio.

10.22: Swansea fans, listen up: It has been confirmed to Sportsmail that a Blackburn bid for forward Luke Moore was rejected this week; Leroy Lita is likely to join Crystal Palace on loan next week; promising right back Curtis Obeng is going out on loan, most likely to Fleetwood Town.

Meanwhile, Garry Monk is wanted by Bristol City and Stephen Dobbie is the subject of interest from Middlesbrough, Bristol City and Burnley.

10.18: James Keatley writes: 'We need a full back and an attacker, we only have Cisse and Ba to rely on up front. Shola Ameobi is a useful substitute at times but due to injuries he's never going to hold down a first team place.'

Come on now, James, most teams would love to have 'only' Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse to rely on.

Hammer time: Andy Carroll arrives at Upton Park ahead of this first training session

10.12: Schalke confirm Ibrahim Afellay has joined on loan from Barcelona. Played a year under Huub Stevens at PSV.
