Transfer deadline day: updates from EFL, Scotland and around Europe – live!

Our friends at Get French Football News are reporting that Moussa Dembélé will join Lyon tonight, in a deal worth around €22m (£19.7m).

Demba Papiss Cissé, once of Newcastle, has left China’s Shandon Luneng for Turkey’s Alanyaspor. At the press conference, they’ve got a picture of him in his Magpies kit:

There’s only room for one ex-Stoke striker at the Parc des Princes, so if Choupo-Moting arrives, Jesé may leave. That’s right, Jesé is still a PSG player – but perhaps not for long. Nantes are interested in a late loan move.

One player who isn’t going anywhere any time soon is Kasper Schmeichel – the Leicester goalkeeper has signed a new contract:

Away from the window, there’s a big old game on in Newport. Wales are playing England, with the winner set for a women’s World Cup final place. Join Ben Fisher:

In case you missed it earlier on, Reiss Nelson has become the latest English youngster to head for the Bundesliga – joining Hoffenheim on loan after agreeing a new Arsenal contract. He could line up against Manchester City in the Champions League group stages.

Another Premier League loan that’s just been announced – Polish playmaker Bartosz Kapustka is off to OH Leuven, the Belgian side managed by Nigel Pearson.

Still no further developments on Moussa Dembélé, after the striker was sent away from Celtic training earlier today. The striker is unhappy he has not been allowed to depart for Lyon.

“It was best for him to go inside and let the others work,” Rodgers said. “My job is to protect the best interests of the club, the players that are here. The money is in their bank every month, so you have to work, there is no getting away from it.”

Celtic remain determined to keep Dembélé beyond the window, and there’s only three more hours to go.

Remember Ganso? Well, the one time future of Brazilian football has joined Amiens on loan from Sevilla, where he’ll link up with fellow newbie Saman Ghoddos.

Nottingham Forest have landed Porto full-back Saidy Janko on loan. The Swiss defender joined Porto from Saint-Étienne earlier this summer.

Another Wolves outgoing, with striker Joe Mason joining Portsmouth on loan. Pompey also picked up Aston Villa prospect André Green on loan yesterday.

Hamilton Academicals have been busy north of the border, with Matt Kilgallon the latest of four deadline day signings:

“Absolutely incredible that a club can stockpile so many talented footballers, with very few ever having a chance of first team football” tweets Tom Potter, in relation to Chelsea’s ever-growing collection of loanees. If Ruben Loftus-Cheek doesn’t get a chance, what hope for the rest of them?

A medium-sized move from France, where PSG have snapped up Bayern defender Juan Bernat for a reported £13m. The French champions are also apparently chasing Stoke reject Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. Why, I do not know.

Stuart James gives his verdict on the summer business at Swansea – he’s not impressed:

Middlesbrough have made a couple of late moves, bringing in Wolves defender Danny Batth and Millwall midfielder George Saville on loan – although they will buy Saville outright in January. Tony Pulis’s side are at Elland Road tonight for a top-of-the-table clash with Leeds.

Real Madrid appear to have found an unlikely replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo in the form of Mariano Díaz. The forward, farmed out to Lyon last season, has been re-signed for €30m and handed the No7 shirt. No pressure…

Hazard leaves Chelsea, etc and so on:

While we wait for more news, here’s today’s Fiver on you-know-who:

It’s been a slow and steady deadline day in Europe so far, but the window is open until 11pm BST in Germany, Spain and France. The biggest move so far has seen Dutch winger Quincy Promes join Sevilla for £18m for Spartak Moscow, while Nuri Sahin (remember him?) has left Dortmund for Werder Bremen.

Some textbook deadline day banter from the boys at Ipswich Town, here:

They’ve signed Matthew Pennington on loan from Everton to bolster their defence. Paul Hirst’s side are currently bottom of the Championship

The summer is ending much better than it started for Villa, then. They should be tasty on the counter-attack with Abraham alongside Yannick Bolasie and Anwar El Ghazi, a winger loaned in from Lille.

Here’s an unsurprising deal: Girona have signed Douglas Luíz from Manchester City on loan. The Brazilian returns to City’s Spanish cousins after struggling to make much of an impact last season and failing to get a work permit to play in England this term.

Speaking of Chelsea loanees… Aston Villa have completed the loan singing of Tammy Abraham!

Let’s kick things off with Chelsea’s 329th loan deal of the summer: defender Michael Hector has joined Sheffield Wednesday for the rest of the season. Wednesday, currently 14th in the Championship, have also brought in Spurs winger Josh Onomah today.

Hector is a Jamaican international centre-back with quite the club CV – he’s been at Millwall, Thurrock, Reading, Bracknell, Didcot, (Winnersh), Havant & Waterlooville, Oxford City, Horsham, Dundalk, Barnet, Shrewsbury, Aldershot, Cheltenham, Aberdeen, Chelsea, Reading again, Eintracht Frankfurt, Hull and now Wednesday.

A transfer window that began long ago, before the World Cup had even kicked off, is closing today – although of course, the Premier League slammed their window a few weeks ago. There’s still time for deals in Germany and the EFL, where the window officially shuts right about now, and in Spain, France and Scotland, where it’ll be open all evening. Aston Villa are chasing a late loan move for Tammy Abraham, and Moussa Dembélé is still hoping to nick off to Lyon from Celtic before 11pm. And there’s bound to be a few surprises along the way…
