Premier League Deadline Day Live!

15:03 And that will do it for the start of We Are Hooligans’ live blog. There are three hours to go until the window shuts, here’s hoping for plenty more activity! We’ll leave you with this hilarious tweet from Sholing FC.

15:00 Chelsea announce their new signing. It’s a four-year contract for the Senegal defender.

14:58 Norwich striker Gary Hooper is undergoing a medical ahead of a loan move to Fulham.

14:55 Only one club in Europe’s top five leagues is yet to sign an outfield player in this transfer window, and there are no prizes for guessing who. They wear red and play in north London.

14:50 Watford defender Gabriele Angella has joined QPR on a season-long loan:

14:46 Former Tottenham and Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov is wanted by Aston Villa, according to the Daily Mail. Berbatov is a free agent after being released by Monaco in the summer.

14:42 Everton are still hoping to sign Tottenham’s Aaron Lennon for roughly half the £9m price tag Spurs placed on the winger. Lennon spent four months at Everton last season.

14:38 Watford clearly aren’t ones for secrecy…

14:36 The Saints have splashed the cash, spending £11.5m to bring Virgil van Dijk to St Mary’s.

14:28 David Sullivan’s son Jack confirming West Ham’s signing of Michail Antonio.

14:25 Stoke City are unwilling to let Jonathan Walters leave. The 31-year-old has handed in a transfer request after contract negotiations fell through but the Potters will not sell if they are unable to sign a replacement striker.

14:17 No news on Saido Berahino’s situation. Time is running out for Tottenham, who have made a bid for the West Brom forward, to strike a deal.

14:13 Nathan Dyer is on his way to Leicester City, according to the Daily Mail. It’s likely to be a loan deal.

14:10 Southampton have sold striker Emmanuel Mayuka to French outfit Metz. The Zambian international scored one goal in 19 appearances for Ronald Koeman’s side.

14:06 Song, Moses, Jelavic, now Michail Antonio is set to sign for West Ham. A deal has been agreed between Nottingham Forest and the Hammers, the player due in London for a medical.

14:03 Well this could get tasty.

13:58 Just incredible. Charlie Austin, who scored 18 Premier League goals last season, will remain in the Championship with QPR, at least until January.

13:55 Murray’s a Cherry:

13:48 Aston Villa are set to announce the signing of West Brom’s Joleon Lescott on a two-year deal. The fee is £1m with the possibility of rising to £2m. Villa manager Tim Sherwood said on Lescott’s arrival: “He was West Brom supporters player of the year last season. You always want to play for your boyhood team in the end. If it becomes an opportunity for someone to do that then fantastic.”

13:44 Swansea are interested in QPR’s out-of-favour winger Junior Hoilett, according to the London Evening Standard. From Championship bench to high-flying Swansea. Not bad at all.

13:40 Real Madrid have released a statement regarding David de Gea’s failed transfer. It includes 10 points detailing the transfer, from the clubs entering negotiations to an agreement being made to the transfer being submitted into FIFA’s TMS system. The 10th point is perhaps most noteworthy:

“In short, Real Madrid has made everything you need, and at all times, to carry out these two transfers.”

13:30 We also haven’t heard a peep from Manchester City on Premier League Deadline Day. The table-toppers have already spent £150 million this window, and £150m is definitely enough to build a title winning team.

13:23 There should be a queue of clubs lining up for QPR striker Charlie Austin’s signature. Instead, the R’s haven’t heard a peep. Surely that will change?

13:19 Bayer Leverkusen’s Javier Hernandez speaks about his move from Manchester United:

“I want to go back to feeling important and happy. I want to find happiness.

“Bayer made me feel important and loved and coming here was not a difficult decision to make. They made me feel wanted.

“I want to help and achieve important things. I have felt very loved. I hope to accomplish things in my head and in my heart.”

13:14 Chelsea’s young forward Izzy Brown, currently on loan at Vitesse Arnheim, has signed a four-year contract extension.

13:10 Whoever runs Heathrow Airport’s Twitter account is clearly a Tottenham fan:

13:05 A reminder of some confirmed deals as we inch closer to that 6pm GMT deadline:

Ramiro Funes Mori – River Plate to Everton (£9.5m)

Papy Djilobodji – Nantes to Chelsea (around £3m)

Nikica Jelavic – Hull City to West Ham (£2m, rising to £3m)

Alex Song – Barcelona to West Ham (season loan)

Victor Moses – Chelsea to West Ham (season loan)

Miguel Layun – Watford to Porto (season loan)

Olivier Kemen – Newcastle to Lyon (undisclosed)

13:01 Stoke City forward Jonathan Walters is wanted by Leicester City, according to Sky Sports. Stoke value Walters at £3m, with Norwich also interested in the Irish international.

12:58 According to the Daily Mail Arsenal are reluctant to spend £50m on Paris St-Germain striker Edison Cavani. It’s a hefty fee for a 28-year-old but Arsenal’s only recognised strikers are Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck.

12:53 Chelsea completed the signing of defender Papy Djilobodji this morning but they’re not done there. Reading centre-back Michael Hector is set to sign for the Blues for £4.5m.

12:49 If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again:

12:46 He’s without a team, yet Harry Redknapp still manages to make an appearance on deadline day. We prefer him hanging out his car window but this tweet will do:

12:43 Real Madrid will not appeal to La Liga over the collapsed signing of David de Gea. It leaves them with Keylor Navas and Kiko Casilla between the sticks.

12:38 According to the Daily Mirror Bournemouth are hoping to sign Sunderland’s Will Buckley after winger Max Gradel suffered a knee injury that could keep him sidelined until the New Year in Saturday’s draw with Leicester.

12:34 It’s rather odd that the Champions League are the first to announce David de Gea’s future. Anyway, you must wonder where this leaves De Gea. He’s by far United’s best goalkeeper but is he willing to put all this aside, play for United and look to join Real Madrid in January?

12:31 David de Gea update:

12:29 Former Newcastle player Jonas Gutierrez, who overcame testicular cancer, has agreed to sign for Spanish side Deportivo La Coruna.

12:25 Sky Sports are reporting Manchester United target Anthony Martial has completed a medical. The 19-year-old will cost United £36m, becoming the most expensive teenager in football history.

12:23 Southampton are signing a defender. Celtic’s Virgil van Dijk will join the Saints for £11.5m.

12:20 Bournemouth are set to announce the signing of Crystal Palace forward Glenn Murray. The clubs agreed a £5m fee for the 31-year-old yesterday.

12:18 Tony Pulis’s phone has been ringing non-stop. He’s close to sealing a deal for Liverpool left-back Jose Enrique while fending off Tottenham’s last-ditch attempt to sign Baggies striker Saido Berahino.

12:14 West Brom defender Joleon Lescott has completed a medical at Aston Villa ahead of a two-year deal.

12:12 Here’s one to get Arsenal fans salivating – Edinson Cavani is linked with a move to the Emirates. The PSG striker netted twice in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Monaco and has the potential to turn Arsenal into proper title contenders.

12:06 We’ll start off with some confirmed deals:

Ramiro Funes Mori – River Plate to Everton (£9.5m)

Papy Djilobodji – Nantes to Chelsea (around £3m)

Nikica Jelavic – Hull City to West Ham (£2m, rising to £3m)

Alex Song – Barcelona to West Ham (season loan)

Victor Moses – Chelsea to West Ham (season loan)

Miguel Layun – Watford to Porto (season loan)

Olivier Kemen – Newcastle to Lyon (undisclosed)

12:02 Good afternoon and welcome to We Are Hooligans’ coverage of transfer deadline day! The most frantic day in the Premier League season is upon us, as each of the 20 teams seek a last-minute deal to bolster their squads. Strap yourselves in for six hours of mayhem.
