Transfer Deadline Day LIVE: Saul Niguez £4.3m Chelsea loan CONFIRMED with £30m BUY option, Mbappe to Real Madrid back on

BELLER-OUT

Hector Bellerin joined boyhood club Real Betis on loan after Arsenal struck a deal to sign Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Bellerin failed to feature in any of the Gunners’ first three Premier League games, with Calum Chambers and Cedric Soares preferred.

In a statement on their club website, Arsenal posted: “Everyone at Arsenal wishes Hector the best of luck with Real Betis this season.”

Now Tomiyasu will hope to have as much – if not more – success than the Spain international after his move to the Emirates

TRAORE REMINDER

Wolves rejected a £30million bid from Tottenham for Adama Traore on Monday.

That is according to The Athletic, who report that Bruno Lage’s side weren’t interested in selling Traore to Spurs.

The north Londoners did not come back with an improved offer on Tuesday.

Thus, the winger will be staying at Molineux this season

AURIER TERMINATED

Tottenham and Serge Aurier have mutually agreed to terminate his contract shortly after deadline day.

Aurier still had a year left on his deal but Spurs were unable to sell him this summer.

Lille and Genoa posed as options but a move to either team did not materialise.

Therefore, the full-back will be leaving the club as a free agent

CR7 AGAIN?

Manchester United signing Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to reclaim the iconic No7 jersey following confirmation of his return to Old Trafford, reports suggest.

Edinson Cavani, who is currently allocated that number, is reportedly willing to give up the cherished shirt.

And there is a precedent for changing Premier League squad numbers.

Former Tottenham ace Emmanuel Adebayor switched from 25 to 10 in the 2012-2013 season.

Nevertheless, the Premier League has given no indication on how the request would be received

MAITLAND-NILES SITUATION

Arsenal ace Ainsley Maitland-Niles will stay at the club after his move to Everton was blocked.

Maitland-Niles publicly asked to leave and go to a team where he was ‘wanted’ on Instagram.

According to the Daily Mirror’s John Cross, however, the midfielder has held clear-the-air talks with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.

And the 24-year-old will now be in Arteta’s plans for this season

AOUAR STAYS

Lyon star Houssem Aouar was linked with a move to Arsenal and Tottenham during the summer transfer window.

But Aouar ultimately stayed in the Ligue 1 outfit for yet another season.

The two north London clubs could come back in the future as the playmaker’s contract runs out in 2023.

Nevertheless, Arsenal are in no urgent need as they signed Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid

DE JONG DONE DEAL

Barcelona have confirmed the arrival of Luuk de Jong from Sevilla on deadline day.

This comes after Barca made a staggering £73million loss on Antoine Griezmann, who returned to Atletico Madrid.

The Blaugrana are dealing with some serious financial problems that led to Lionel Messi leaving the club.

A handful of other players also had to take pay-cuts

OUT OF LAC

Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette has decided that he wants to leave the club once his contract expires next summer.

That is according to Football London, who report that Lacazette is set for his last 10 months at the Emirates.

This means the centre-forward is free to talk with other clubs about a free transfer in January before his deal expires in June.

The France international has been linked with an exit from north London throughout the entire summer transfer window

RON THE RIGHT TRACK

Juventus are reportedly set to save a significant amount of cash after Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure.

Ronaldo left Juve to return to Manchester United after a £12.9million deal, that is expected to include add-ons.

According to Calcio e Finanza, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s exit will contribute to the Bianconeri being €52.332million (£44.9m) better off.

Juventus, though, haven’t been able to sign a big star to replace the Portugal international

GOING FOR THE KYL

Real Madrid didn’t get to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain during the summer transfer window.

Reports suggest Real offered a whopping £189million for Mbappe but PSG turned them down.

However, the star striker’s contract with the Parisians runs out next summer and he doesn’t seem at all keen on extending his stay in the French capital.

Therefore, the France international will be free to seal a move to Los Blancos in January

THE ED

Former Manchester United target Eduardo Camavinga joined Real Madrid during transfer deadline day.

Camavinga moved from Rennes after a €40million (£34.4m) deal that saw him signing a six-year deal.

The midfielder was linked with United among other clubs before becoming a Real player.

But reports suggest the France international only wanted to go to Spain all along

BIGGEST DEALS

This has been a transfer window to remember and that doesn’t just apply to the Premier League, as we saw Lionel Messi leaving Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain.

However, the Prem has seen a number of blockbuster moves taking place and here is this summer’s top five:

1. Jack Grealish (Manchester City from Aston Villa, £100m)
2. Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea from Inter Milan, £97.5m)
3. Jadon Sancho (Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund, £73m)
4. Ben White (Arsenal from Brighton, £50m)
5. Raphael Varane (Manchester United from Real Madrid, £41m)

MEND TO BE

Paris Saint-Germain ended the summer transfer window the same way they started it, in style.

PSG have been on fire this year having signed the likes of Georginio Wijnaldum, Achraf Hakimi, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos and six-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi.

And now the Parisians have landed 19-year-old prospect Nuno Mendes.

Mendes, who is considered among the most talented young left-backs, has joined on an initial loan deal with an option to buy

LUUK OUT

Barcelona have completed the signing of Luuk de Jong on transfer deadline day.

That is according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, who reports that De Jong will be joining Barca from Sevilla.

LaLiga confirmed that they received the Netherlands international’s papers in time.

The same goes for Antoine Griezmann, who went back to Atletico Madrid on loan

MANN COMES AROUND

Barcelona star Antoine Griezmann has completed a shock return to Atletico Madrid.

According to Sky in Italy, the Barca and Atletico reached an agreement on deadline day for Griezmann to move back to the Spanish capital on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy for £34.4million next year.

Atleti were able to move for the star forward after Saul Niguez’s move to Chelsea.

Saul departed for the Blues on an initial loan with option to buy worth £33.5m overall

LATE SIGNINGS

Southampton ace Michael Obafemi has moved to Swansea on transfer deadline day.

Meanwhile, Valencia completed the loan signing of Helder Costa from Leeds after Daniel James’ arrival from Manchester United.

Sheffield United have landed Robin Olsen from Roma on an initial season-long loan with option to buy.

Olsen spent last season on loan at Everton

CAM ON

Cameron Carter-Vickers has joined Celtic from Tottenham on loan with an option to buy.

Carter-Vickers said: “I am absolutely delighted to agree this move to Celtic.

“It is a really exciting opportunity for me and I am desperate to meet my new team-mates and get going for the season ahead.

“I know I am going to a huge Club which means so much to so many people and I will be doing all I can to bring our fans the success which their support deserves”

SAUL DONE

Saul Niguez has OFFICALLY joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid on deadline day.

Saul has moved to Stamford Bridge on loan from Atletico in what marks a dramatic ending for the west Londoners’ transfer window.

Chelsea confirmed the midfielder’s arrival on social media.

Check it out:

HERE WE GO

Saul Niguez has OFFICIALLY joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid on deadline day, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Blues have signed Saul on a season-long loan in a bid to boost their midfield.

The west Londoners paid €5million (£4.3m) and have an option to buy worth €40m (£34.3m).

More below:

NOT BEDTIME YET

The summer transfer window has slammed shut but there is still the “deal sheet”.

This allows a club to confirm that a deal has been reached and buys them extra time to submit all the documentation.

It gives those teams looking to get late business completed a further two hours, which means 1am on September 1 in this case.

But if a club is looking to complete an international transfer, they must still comply with the FIFA Transfer Matching System (TMS) deadline of midnight

SAUL IN

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirms that Saul Niguez is on his way to Chelsea.

Romano claims the move is “done and completed” as all the paperwork is being dealt with.

Here’s what he tweeted:

SAUL STILL ON

Saul Niguez’s move to Chelsea is still on despite the summer transfer window slamming shut in the UK.

According to Sky Sports, paperwork will be uploaded in time despite late scare.

If all goes well then Saul is expected to move on loan from Atletico Madrid.

That will mark a significant boost to Blues manager Thomas Tuchel’s midfield

OJO-Y

Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo has joined Millwall on loan on transfer deadline day.

Preston were also in talks to take the Ojo but the Lions snatched him from under North End’s noses

THAT SALS IT!

Everton have signed Salomon Rondon from Dalian Professional on a free transfer.

Rondon has put pen to paper on a two-year contract with the option for a third season.

The former West Brom star said: “I’m really glad to be back in the Premier League.

It’s a competition I enjoyed playing in and where I felt the fans’ support in every game.

“Defending the colours of a club with a history as rich as Everton’s fills me with pride.

“I can’t wait to pull on the shirt and be reunited with Rafa Benítez, a coach who has changed the way I understand the game. I’m really grateful for the faith he’s shown in me”

TALE OF TWO CITIES

Manchester City defender Philippe Sandler will spend the season on loan with sister club ESTAC Troyes.

The Dutch centre-back joins club mate Patrick Roberts in moving to France for the current campaign.

Both players had interest in England but have taken the chance to gain experience in Europe
