Everton and Fulham are going currently going tit for tat in a deadline day deal battle, and it looks like the Cottagers are responding to Everton's Rojo news with a loan deal for Manchester United's Timothy Fosu-Mensah.

With the market quietening for the moment, here's a chance for you to make a deadline day move of your own.

Vanarama National League South side Truro City FC are accepting CV's for their managerial role, after sacking previous coaches (checks notes) Lee Hodges & Chris Todd. Worth a shot?

15:00 - ORNACLE SAYS NOOOOOO

Who'd have thunk it?

Fenerbahce are getting closer and closer to completing their one-year loan deal to sign Leicester City's record signing Islam Slimani.

The 30-year-old cost the Foxes £28m once upon a time, but has never fit the billing at the King Power.











14:48 - MONTOYA TO BRIGHTON?


Brighton & Hove Albion could be set to hand Fulham some of their own Joe Bryan medicine, by making a last gasp move for Lily Whites target Martin Montoya.

Barcelona duo Andre Gomes and Yerry Mina are set to undergo their medicals in the Spanish city in preparation for a move to Merseyside! 

It is understood by Dominic King that the former has a 'slight injury', but it shouldn't affect the transfer. Would be two great signings for the Toffees!














14:23 - VICTOR MOSES TO WOLVES?

14:07 - ARSENAL SUBMIT €100m BID FOR OUSMANE DEMBELE

It just wouldn't be deadline day without Arsenal submitting a no doubt fruitless bid for a highly rated Frenchman - think Thomas Lemar etc. 

And Spanish Journalist Kike Marin reckons they've done it again, with the only issue being a) whether the 21-year-old wants to go... which he has said he doesn't and b) whether Barca would accept the bid, which they surely wouldn't. Other than that, it looks a goer...
















13:58 - FEDERICO FERNANDEZ MEDICAL AT NEWCASTLE

13:53 - IPSWICH TOWN AGREE FEE FOR JOSH WINDASS

Ipswich Town have apparently had a £2m bid for Rangers' Josh Windass accepted by the Scottish club.

The 24-year-old forward is highly rated by Steven Gerrard, but it looks like he could be off, as per these (cough) four lads who had a dream...
