Transfer news, rumours as it happened: Manchester United snubbed by Diego Godin, Everton sign Andre Gomes, late Fulham spree, Arsenal exit plus Chelsea, Liverpool latest

The Premier League's transfer deadline day has closed Manchester United and Tottenham left with regrets.

Jose Mourinho was desperate to add at least one new face today but failed to do so with approaches for Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld, Leicester's Harry Maguire and Atletico Madrid's Diego Godin all coming to nothing. As Thibaut Courtois finally left for Real Madrid, Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic arrived on a season-long loan.

Everton were deadline day's biggest movers with Shakhtar Donetsk's Bernard arriving on a free transfer before sealing a double deal for Barcelona's Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes. Tottenham on the other hand became the first team since the introduction of the summer window not to sign a single player.

We will have all the latest news, late done deals plus all the latest reaction right here so don't touch that dial.
