Deadline day LIVE: All the deals, rumours and drama as it happens
Deadline day is upon us with big moves set to happen right up until the deadline
Welcome to Deadline Day live, where we're running through the biggest transfers and rumours going on before tonight's deadline of 11pm.
• Joao Palhinha could be set to join Bayern Munich from Fulham
• Liverpool reject £150m offer for Mo Salah
• Matheus Nunes joins Man City for £53m
• Liverpool set to sign Ryan Gravenberch
• Tottenham to sign Brennan Johnson
• Manchester United to confirm Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon
Welcome to our Deadline Day live blog. To kick off, here's news of a big deal in Germany, as Nicklas Fullkrug is Dortmund-bound…
Fullkrug was the top scorer in the Bundesliga last term but it really does show the gap between the top two in Germany financially. Dortmund have spent peanuts on a new forward. Bayern? They've gone and signed Harry Kane.
Could Kylian Mbappe be heading to Real Madrid?
Well, maybe.
Rumours in Spain this summer have indicated that Los Blancos are to make a move for the Frenchman in the final 48 hours of the window, potentially forcing PSG to accept whatever gets offered rather than making demands of their own.
Les Parisiens lose Mbappe for free next summer if he doesn't sign a new deal, remember.
According to reports in Saudi Arabia, Mohamed Salah has AGREED a move
Admittedly though, we've heard this all summer. Salah's agent has publicly denied the rumours already this summer, while Jurgen Klopp shrugged them off at the weekend.
Something tells us this one won't be dying down quietly today, however…
Could Chelsea spring one more surprise?
It's been yet another manic window for the Blues with Cole Palmer signed in the last day or so for around £45m. Are they done yet?
Another big signing would push Chelsea over the £1bn mark for money spent under Todd Boehly. Don't put it past them…
Plenty can still happen on Deadline Day – here's Adam Clery to explain
Could Rob Holding leave Arsenal today?
The centre-back has been useful cover for the Gunners for years but now looks to be off. Could it be a gamble, given a lack of numbers in defence?

Arsenal could be plotting a late hijack of Joao Cancelo's transfer from Man City to Barcelona.

Liverpool have rejected a verbal offer of more than £100 million for Mo. We get the feeling this won't be the last of this...

Brentford have reached a loan agreement to sign Neal Maupay, with an option to buy. The Frenchman was previosuly a Bee between 2017 and 2019.
Brennan Johnson will be a Spurs player after a £45m deal was agreed with Forest. The Welshman will sign a five-year deal with an option for an extra year.
"Chelsea are clueless in the transfer market - only Sterling, James, Silva and Chilwell can help them win title, the rest are too inexperienced," says former Blue, William Gallas
"It feels like Chelsea don’t really know what they are doing," Gallas told Gambling Zone. "They have bought a lot of young players, give them seven- to eight-year contracts and it looks like they are thinking about the future, instead of thinking about trying to win the Premier League this season.
"That is my concern. You can’t win the Premier League with only young players who don’t have experience, you need a mix. Only four players have that experience to help win the Premier League: Thiago Silva, Raheem Sterling, Reece James and Ben Chilwell, all the rest are young.
"It will be a difficult season."

The German transfer window has closed.
The Bundesliga's deadline ended at 5pm – meaning that no more deals will go through there.
Transfer twist: Joao Palhinha's move to Bayern is now at risk of collapse…
Ansu Fati has gone to Brighton… but why?
Callum Hudson-Odoi has joined Nottingham Forest – for just £8m
It's CHO-time ⚡️#WelcomeCallum 🏴 pic.twitter.com/SmSkvnVWgRSeptember 1, 2023
The fee for Callum Hudson-Odoi is just £5m, apparently.
We can't help but wonder what may have been – for the Blues and for Hudson-Odoi…
According to the Telegraph, Joao Palhinha's move has collapsed over the fee.
"Fulham were adamant that their valuation of Palhinha had to be met for a player who is widely considered to be the most important member of their playing squad," Sam Dean says.
"Palhinha had travelled to Germany in expectation of completing his move but will now have to return to London and continue his career in the Premier League."
