Football transfer deadline day: latest on Fernández, Alvarez, Ndiaye and more – live
Football's summer transfer window is set to close later today, with clubs expected to complete a flurry of deals before the 11pm BST deadline. Deadline day traditionally builds anticipation even when the outcome proves modest, but this year is expected to be unusually active and costly, with several major clubs poised to make significant moves.
Manchester City are reportedly ready to spend around £200m on deadline-day business alone, while Everton face a busy day of arrivals and departures. Tottenham are expected to add further signings, Newcastle are tipped to have a late move planned, and Hull have also been flagged as a club worth watching as the window winds down.

Football's summer transfer window – the period when clubs can buy and sell players – closes at 11pm British Summer Time, after which no more deals can be completed until the window reopens. This creates a rush of activity as clubs try to finalise signings, sales and loan moves before time runs out, often leading to late, high-value transfers.
Several clubs are said to be particularly active this year. Manchester City are reportedly prepared to spend heavily, while Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are among the clubs expected to be involved in further incoming or outgoing deals. Names mentioned in connection with moves include Fernández, Alvarez and Ndiaye, though deadline-day speculation often involves many players whose transfers may or may not go through.
The deadline matters because it sets the final line-up of players each club can use for much of the season ahead, shaping squads before competitive fixtures resume in earnest. Deals struck, missed or abandoned on this day can have lasting effects on a club's performance and finances.
