Transfer news LIVE!
A record-breaking summer window has closed. The British transfer record was broken twice by the same club, as Liverpool signed Florian Wirtz for £116million and followed it up with Alexander Isak for £125m on Deadline Day as they spent close to half a billion pounds. Arsenal, though, had the biggest outlay as Mikel Arteta was once again heavily backed in the form of eight new signings including Piero Hincapie.
Chelsea were again busier than most, signing the likes of Joao Pedro and Alejandro Garnacho, while also selling a record £300m in talent. Will that be enough to mount a title challenge? Tottenham will hope that the headline signing of Xavi Simons and the late addition of Randal Kolo Muani are enough to give them the creativity needed to compete in the league and Europe, having missed out on Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze.
Manchester United signed Senne Lammens, but some targets failed to secure moves. No Carlos Baleba for Man Utd, no Marc Guehi for Liverpool, no Tyrique George for Fulham, no Manor Solomon for Crystal Palace, and more. Today, we break down the fallout from a stunning summer, so follow along live below with Standard Sport’s dedicated transfer news live blog!
Latest transfer news headlines on Deadline Day
- Liverpool sign £130m Isak
- Arsenal announce Hincapie loan
- Tottenham snap up Kolo Muani
- Man Utd complete Lammens deal
- Why Guehi's Liverpool move collapsed
- Jackson joins Bayern on loan-to-buy deal
Gyokeres has say on Isak
14:21 , Oli GentViktor Gyokeres has given his thoughts on Alexander Isak’s move to Liverpool.
The Arsenal striker is on international duty with Isak with Sweden, with Isak arriving late following his Deadline Day move.
Gyokeres himself made a move this summer from Sporting Lisbon, and he refused to train or play for his former club in order to force through a move, similar to what Isak has done at Newcastle.
“It can be the same that you don’t really know what’s been going on behind [the scenes],” Gyokeres told Sky Sports.
“I don’t really know in his case what the situation has been exactly.”
He shrugged off the idea of ‘player power’.
“We all play,” he continued.
“And the clubs have the most power. Maybe it’s difficult for the players to choose in a lot of cases.
“He doesn’t have any power, clubs can do what they want with a player. It’s difficult but it’s how the situation is.”
Guehi 'extremely unhappy' after Liverpool move collapses
14:04 , Oli GentMarc Guehi is reportedly ‘extremely unhappy’ that he was not granted a move to Liverpool, according to The Guardian.
The Crystal Palace defender had completed a medical and agreed personal terms to follow Liverpool’s bid of £35million being accepted by the Eagles.
However, Palace pulled the plug on the deal at the death, citing the fact that they had not been able to replace him properly.
The Guardian report details that Guehi is planning to release a statement of his own soon.
Antony brought to tears in Betis unveiling
13:45 , Oli GentAntony shed a tear as he was presented as a new Real Betis player.
The former Manchester United forward signed for the La Liga side on a permanent deal after impressing on loan with them last term.
The winger made his move on Deadline Day, but started to cry when he was asked about his time at United.
He had been part of Ruben Amorim’s ‘bomb squad’, with the Portuguese keen to move him on.
"What happened in Manchester, only I know how difficult it was,” Antony said.
“I'm sorry. Training separately, but that's part of life. I knew this moment would come. It's in the past."
😢@antony00 no puede aguantarse las lágrimas al recordar los duros momentos antes de fichar por el Real Betis.

Spurs questions arise after failed transfer pursuits
13:23 , Oli GentTottenham sealed a strong end to the transfer window with the captures of Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani late on.

13:05 , Oli GentMarc Guehi saw his move to Liverpool collapse at the last.
He will stay at Palace until at least January, but where will he end up after that?
Arsenal already know next transfer priority

12:00 , Oli GentJadon Sancho has revealed that Marcus Rashford and Unai Emery both played key roles in luring him to Aston Villa from Manchester United.
The winger has signed for the Birmingham outfit on loan until the end of the season.
“First of all, when I spoke to the manager, he gave me belief and confidence,” Sancho told Villa TV.
“He showed me the plan for this year, and it really inspired me. He definitely persuaded me, and I can’t wait to work under him.
“Wherever the manager needs me, I’ll be happy to play. I have individual goals, of course, but my main priority is the team."
On the role Rashford had on the decision after spending the second half of last season on loan at Villa, Sancho added: “I spoke to him while he was here last season and I know he really enjoyed it.
“He said so many lovely things about the club, like how it’s a family and you feel that friendly environment with great players and staff. I definitely felt that as I came in.”
O'Reily joins Marseille
11:45 , Oli GentAnother man to make the switch to Marseille is Matt O’Reily, who joins the French side from Brighton on loan.
The Dane had had irregular game time with the Seagulls, leading to Fabian Hurzeler giving him the green light to seek first-team football elsewhere.
"Matt has the opportunity to challenge himself at the highest level in France and in the Champions League,” Hurzeler said.
"We have a lot of competition in the midfield positions, and while we see Matt's long-term future here with us, this gives him the potential of more game time.
"We will monitor his progress throughout the season with Marseille, and we wish him well for the rest of the season."
Good luck to Matt O'Riley who has joined Ligue 1 side Marseille on loan for the season. 🤝

Liverpool to revive Guehi deal
07:25 , Alex YoungLiverpool will explore signing Marc Guehi in January after missing out on the player yesterday.
As detailed below, Crystal Palace's failure to sign a replacement saw them pull the plug.
But the Mail report that Liverpool remain huge admirers of Guehi and will still be interested in a cut-price deal in January, or a free transfer next summer.
Donnarumma deal still on
06:58 , Alex YoungManchester City will announce the signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain today.
A £26million deal has been struck, and the player finalised the move on Deadline Day without official confirmation from the club. The goalkeeper has passed a medical and will sign a five-year deal.
Have no fear, though, the deal remains on.
City are also to confirm Manuel Akanji's loan move to Inter Milan, while Ederson and Ilkay Gundogan are in talks to join Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, respectively.
Why Guehi deal collapsed
06:52 , Alex YoungMarc Guehi remains a Crystal Palace this morning after the club were unable to find a replacement for the centre-back.
Liverpool had submitted a deal sheet for Guehi, who passed a medical, having agreed on a £35million fee with Palace.
However, with the transfer deadline having passed, Palace decided to call the deal off as they weren’t able to find a suitable replacement.
Both Liverpool and Guehi, who was set to sign a five-year contract, wanted the move to go ahead.
In addition, Oliver Glasner reportedly threatened to resign his post as Crystal Palace if the club sold Guehi without a replacement.
Premier League clubs spend record £3billion
06:41 , Alex YoungPremier League clubs spent a record £3billion in a summer transfer window that finished with a bang thanks to Liverpool's £125million signing of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
The figure, as estimated by finance company Deloitte, smashed the previous record of £2.36bn two summers ago.
Liverpool spent more than £400m in the window, a record for a Premier League club, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Isak's former club Newcastle all breaking the £200m barrier.
Tim Lunn, director in the Deloitte Sports Business Group, told the PA news agency: "I think it just demonstrates once again the competitive nature of the league - more teams in Europe than ever before and big clubs that are trying to get back in Europe.
"I think that the competitive nature of getting into Europe has never really been more evident.
"I think that's reflected also in the amount of business that's being done. Not necessarily just the the the total spend, but the amount of business in and out of those clubs indicates that significant desire for them to improve and get into those coveted European spots."
Is this the calm after the storm? A record-breaking summer window has closed, so it’s time to assess the lay of the land.
Arsenal defender Oleksandr Zinchenko has joined Nottingham Forest in a late loan move on transfer Deadline Day, writes Simon Collings.
Zinchenko has been hoping to secure a move away from Arsenal all summer after slipping down the pecking order.
The left-back had been a target for Marseille, but his wages - believed to be north of £100,000-a-week - were said to be a stumbling block.
Zinchenko has now joined Forest on loan for the season, however, after they made a late swoop for him.
Harry Wilson sees potential permanent Leeds transfer collapse
Monday 1 September 2025 23:40 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneHarry Wilson has seen a potential move from Fulham to Leeds United fall through on transfer Deadline Day, writes Sam Tabuteau.
Fulham, earlier in the day, had rejected a loan offer from Leeds for the Wales international.
Although, the two clubs remained in talks, as the Premier League newboys were hopeful of securing a permanent deal for Wilson before the summer transfer window closed.
Solomon joins Villarreal
Monday 1 September 2025 23:30 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneManor Solomon has joined Villarreal on season-long loan after sealing a move from Tottenham late on Deadline Day, writes Matt Verri.
The winger had looked set to join Crystal Palace, with the Eagles and Spurs submitting a deal sheet to continue work on the loan beyond the 7pm deadline day.
However, that deal collapsed and Spanish clubs then had the chance to seize the initiative, as the LaLiga deadline fell later at 11pm.
Spurs remained keen to find a move for Solomon and Villarreal's interest materialised into serious talks.
Nelson explains Brentford move
Monday 1 September 2025 23:19 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneReiss Nelson has admitted he wanted to join a club where he knew he would get first-team opportunities after completing a season-long loan to Brentford on Deadline Day, writes Sam Tabuteau.
Nelson had a number of offers on the table to leave Arsenal on Deadline Day but chose Brentford because he believes he can get regular minutes this season.
The 25-year-old said he also spoke to fellow Hale End academy graduate Josh Dasilva, who is continuing his rehab from a serious knee injury at Brentford, before deciding to join the west London club.
DONE DEAL: Bryan Gil leaves for Girona

DONE DEAL: Wissa completes long-awaited Newcastle move
Monday 1 September 2025 22:17 , Arthur FerridgeNewcastle have confirmed the signing of Yoane Wissa from Brentford.
Brentford had been keen to keep hold of Wissa, especially in a summer where they’ve lost Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Norgaard to Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal respectively.
The club had even previously rejected two bids for Wissa, the most recent totalling £40million.
However, they accepted an offer worth up to £55m from Newcastle ahead of transfer deadline day and the 28-year-old has now finalised his move to St James’ Park following a successful medical.

DONE DEAL: United confirm Senne Lammens arrival
Monday 1 September 2025 22:17 , Arthur FerridgeManchester United have announced the signing of Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp.
The Belgian was one of two goalkeepers linked with a move to Old Trafford ahead of the transfer deadline day amid reports of an agreement with Aston Villa for Emiliano Martinez.
Lammens' arrival does raise question marks over the long-term futures of Onana and Bayindir. Meanwhile, with Tom Heaton signing a contract extension in the summer, it means Man United currently have four senior goalkeepers on the books.
He said: “I am extremely proud to be joining Manchester United; it is a real dream come true. The past few years have been an amazing journey; it’s now ended in an incredible destination and hopefully the beginning of something special.”
DONE DEAL: Jackson joins Bayern on loan with obligation
Monday 1 September 2025 22:15 , Arthur FerridgeNicolas Jackson is targeting silverware after joining Bayern Munich from Chelsea on loan with an obligation to buy.
Standard Sport understands Bayern will pay Chelsea £14.3million for the initial loan before making the move permanent for £56.3m.
The Senegalese has been at the centre of a dramatic Deadline Day saga as he looked to secure a move away from Chelsea.
He travelled to Munich to complete the transfer on Saturday, but was recalled to Chelsea on arrival after Liam Delap suffered a hamstring injury, leaving the Blues shorthanded at centre-forward.
Desperate to join Bayern, though, Jackson’s representatives remained in Munich and reignited talks after Chelsea opted to recall Marc Guiu from his loan at Sunderland.

Tyrique George to Fulham falls through at eleventh hour
Monday 1 September 2025 21:43 , Arthur FerridgeTyrique George’s move from Chelsea to Fulham has collapsed.
Talks took place on the morning of Deadline Day and were fast-moving, with the 19-year-old winger all set to join the Cottagers from their west London rivals.
But Fulham had breakthroughs in moves for fellow wingers Shakhtar Donetsk’s Kevin and AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze as the afternoon unfolded. They also handed in a deal sheet to try to sign Jonah Kusi-Asare.
However, Standard Sport understands the move came into jeopardy and has now fallen through.
Fulham’s decision to keep Harry Wilson at the club as talks with Leeds broke down played a role in George’s transfer falling through.
DONE DEAL: Isak joins Liverpool after extended transfer saga
Monday 1 September 2025 21:42 , Arthur FerridgeLiverpool have completed the signing of Alexander Isak on transfer Deadline Day.
Liverpool have paid Newcastle £125million for Isak, with solidarity payments taking the total figure to £130m, breaking the British transfer record potentially twice in the same window if the add-ons are met in their initial £100m deal for Florian Wirtz to take it up to £116m.
Chelsea’s deal for Moises Caicedo two summers ago may end up costing £115m, while the Blues also paid £107m to sign Enzo Fernandez in January 2023.
Newcastle rejected an opening bid for Isak last month worth £110m plus add-ons, though the Swede has always wanted the move and has been training away from the squad in addition to not playing for Eddie Howe’s side this season, releasing a statement on social media - refuted by Newcastle - that accused the club of breaking promises made to him.
