Transfer deadline day LIVE: Julian Alvarez to Arsenal latest, Enzo Fernandez to Man City, Chelsea search for replacement

Transfer deadline day has arrived with two of the biggest sagas of the summer still to be resolved: will Arsenal sign Julian Alvarez and could Enzo Fernandez be swapping Chelsea for Manchester City before tonight’s 11pm deadline?

Premier League champions Arsenal have pursued Alvarez all window but are running out of time to submit an offer to Atletico Madrid, despite selling Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus to free up space for the 26-year-old forward. It means the Gunners could be left short in attack if they do not meet Atletico’s €150m asking price and so have explored alternatives, with Lyon’s Malick Fofana emerging as a late option.

Manchester City, meanwhile, will need to submit a bid that is higher than £120m to sign Fernandez from Chelsea and complete their midfield rebuild. Fernandez has been left out of Chelsea’s last two squads and Xabi Alonso’s side will not sell the Argentina international without a suitable replacement, with Monaco’s Lamine Camara, Roma’s Manu Kone and Bournemouth’s Alex Scott all on their radar.

Manchester United have still not signed a left back, while Liverpool’s business appears done after signing Bradley Barcola and rejecting Manchester City’s approach for Cody Gakpo. City have agreed a £60m deal with Everton to buy Iliman Ndiaye. That could have an impact on Everton’s pursuit of Richarlison, with Tottenham still wanting to sign a new forward too.
