Transfer news LIVE! Deadline day twist as Arsenal and Man Utd chase striker deals including Mathys Tel


Arteta’s Arsenal ‘wanted to hurt’ Man City in 5-1 rout

It’s transfer deadline day as Premier League clubs face a frantic few hours to complete last-minute deals before 11pm tonight.

And there’s already been one huge twist today as Mathys Tel looks to have reversed his decision not to join Tottenham. The Bayern Munich forward has flown to England and will undergo a medical ahead of a loan move to the north London club.

The young Frenchman had reportedly been the target of both Manchester United – who are on the hunt for a new forward after Marcus Rashford joined Aston Villa on loan – and Arsenal, who had not given up hope of signing him.

Arsenal have been heavily linked over the past few days with Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins to bolster their Premier League title chances but Mikel Arteta has been told that Watkins will not be leaving for less than £60m after an opening offer for the England international was rejected last week and a move now appears unlikely.

Elsewhere, Manchester City’s flaws were exposed by Arsenal in a 5-1 defeat yesterday and Pep Guardiola’s side could yet sign midfielder Douglas Luiz from Juventus. It promises to be a busy day at Chelsea, too, with Ben Chilwell, Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku among the players who may depart.

Chelsea have been linked with Alejandro Garnacho throughout the window, but the 20-year-old Manchester United winger looks unlikely to follow Rashford out of the door. That could all change, however, as we ticks towards tonight’s 11pm deadline. Follow all the latest updates in our live blog below.

“Yeah, I think (it feels) slightly different but last season we were also very close but again, as I’ve said before we need to stay humble and just take it each game at a time,” said Salah.

Tottenham in advanced talks with Tomori

Spurs are closing in on the signing of AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori.

That’s according to Sky Sports, which claims the former Chelsea centre-back is a key target at Tottenham.

Spurs want to add another defender before the deadline on Monday, with Christian Romero and Radu Dragusin both injured and Micky Van de Ven only just recovered from a hamstring strain.

The club hijacked Wolves’ deal for Kevin Danso so have some cover and that may mean a move for Tomori is not as urgent as once thought.

Sky Sports says that although Spurs and Milan are in ‘advanced talks’, no agreement has yet been made with the player.

Savinho urges Manchester City to quickly forget nightmare at Arsenal

Manchester City winger Savinho hopes the champions’ crushing defeat at Arsenal can quickly be forgotten.

“It’s very difficult for us,” Savinho told the club’s website. “We can’t accept this defeat, with this scoreline.

“I think we have got to put our heads down and think about what went wrong, and what we can improve on.

“But we’ve also got to forget it and keep moving forward.

“I said when I joined Manchester City the good thing about playing here is that if you lose a game, two days later there is another chance to prove your worth and right the wrongs.

“So we’ve got more games soon and we’ll focus on showing who Manchester City are.”
