    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.

    There’s already been one huge twist today as Mathys Tel has reversed his decision not to join Tottenham. The Bayern Munich forward has flown to England and is undergoing a medical ahead of a loan move to the north London club, which will now have an option to buy at the behest of Spurs.

    The young Frenchman had reportedly been the target of both Manchester United – who were on the hunt for a new forward after Marcus Rashford joined Aston Villa on loan but look set to stand pat for financial reasons – and Arsenal, who had not given up hope of signing him.

    Elsewhere, Manchester City’s flaws were exposed by Arsenal in a 5-1 defeat yesterday and Pep Guardiola’s side look set to sign defensive midfielder Nico Gonzalez from Porto for around £50m as a Rodri replacement. Chelsea could still see some action too, with Ben Chilwell and Joao Felix among the players who may depart after Carney Chukwuemeka already did to Borussia Dortmund.

    Chelsea have been linked with Alejandro Garnacho throughout the window and while the 20-year-old Manchester United winger looks unlikely to follow Rashford out of the door, Red Devils left-back Tyrell Malacia is set to sign on loan for PSV as we tick towards tonight’s 11pm deadline. Follow all the latest updates in our live blog below.

    Moves we're expecting to be completed ahead of the deadline

    Ok, let’s take stock here. With just under 30 minutes to go until the 11pm deadline, which deals are we expecting to be confirmed and completed (or confirmed after the deadline but with the ridiculous ‘deal sheet’ having been completed pre-11pm)?

    • Mathys Tel should complete his loan move (with an option to buy) from Bayern Munich to Tottenham after a dramatic change of heart earlier today
    • Man City are set to sign defensive midfielder Nico Gonzalez from Porto for £50m as a Rodri replacement
    • AC Milan will confirm the signing of Joao Felix on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season
    • Axel Disasi is also set to leave Chelsea on loan for Aston Villa until the end of the campaign
    • Crystal Palace will make it a trio of Chelsea loanee departures as left-back Ben Chilwell is headed to Selhurst Park
    • The 36-year-old Willian will re-sign for Fulham after being released by Olympiakos but they may not be until tomorrow as he’s a free agent

    Joao Felix lands in Italy for for AC Milan move

    Video has emerged of Joao Felix at Milan airport as he prepares to seal his move to AC Milan.

    He’s largely been an entirely pointless signing by Chelsea having signed a seven-year contract when signing from Atletico Madrid in a £45m deal last August.

    Milan are paying his wages and a £5m loan fee until the end of the season. Official confirmation imminent.

    Willian agrees deal in principle with Fulham

    The slightly left-field news of 36-year-old Willian returning to Fulham is just about over the line.

    Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth is reporting that the Cottagers have agreed a deal in principle to re-sign the Brazilian forward after he was released by Olympiakos at the end of December.

    As he’s a free agent, he’s not subject to the same 11pm deadline as players still at their clubs, so a formal announcement is expected tomorrow.

    DONE DEAL! Rob Holding leaves Crystal Palace

    Rob Holding has completed his loan move to Sheffield United from Crystal Palace.

    Ex-Arsenal centre-back Holding has moved to Bramall Lane in a deal until the end of the season, where he will try to help the Blades earn promotion back to the Premier League.

    Holding said: “It's been a long day but it is well worth it, I'm happy to be here. I had a quick word with the gaffer and I'm excited with the project he's got going on here, it is a good environment to be in.

    “It is a fresh start, I'm looking for a bit of consistency with games and see what happens in the second half of the season.”

    Ben Chilwell closing in on Crystal Palace move

    Chelsea left-back Ben Chilwell is closing in on his loan move to Crystal Palace until the end of the season, with The Independent’s Chief Football Writer Miguel Delaney saying the move is “all but done”.

    The deal is a straight loan, with no option or obligation to buy, and should be official imminently.

    Fulham eyeing shock Willian return

    He’s the man who just can’t stay away. Willian, at the age of 104, could be returning to the Premier League with Fulham.

    I exaggerate a little bit, he’s only 36, but he left Fulham in the summer to join Olympiakos and it appeared his Premier League career was over. He left Olympiakos in December and now the Cottagers appear set to bring him back to add depth to their squad.

    Remarkable scenes and surely a divisive at best move among the Fulham fanbase in terms of the ambition (or lack thereof) it shows.

    Mathys Tel deal to include option to buy

    An update on the Mathys Tel deal. The Bayern Munich youngster had an abrupt change of heart earlier today, choosing to join Tottenham on loan having earlier rejected them.

    As reported by Dan Kilpatrick of Evening Standard, Spurs have pushed for the deal to include an option to buy, which Bayern have agreed to. Earlier it was thought it would just be a straight loan.

    Tel is in London ahead of the move being sealed before the 11pm deadline.

    Nico Gonzalez on the brink of Man City move

    Man City have been the busiest Premier League team in this transfer window and they’re adding one more player before all is said and done.

    They’ve been trying to replace Rodri ever since his ACL injury earlier in the season and have settled on Porto’s defensive midfielder Nico Gonzalez.

    Gonzalez will be signed on a £50m deal. He has been undergoing a medical in Portugal and that seems to have gone by the book, so official confirmation will be coming shortly.

    DONE DEAL! Lloyd Kelly leaves Newcastle for Juventus

    Former Bournemouth man Lloyd Kelly is swapping one set of black and whites for another as he’s left Newcastle for Juventus.

    Newcastle have confirmed that defender Kelly has completed a loan move to Juventus, subject to international clearance, and the Italian side have an obligation to make the transfer permanent in the summer.

    Not a bad move for the 26-year-old, who wasn’t getting a ton of playing time at St James’ Park.
