A chaotic transfer window is at an end with a frenzied deadline day taking the Premier League’s total spending past £3bn in a record-breaking summer.
The defining saga of the window finally reached a conclusion just hours before the window shut as Alexander Isak at last got the move he wanted to Liverpool. A terse statement from Newcastle United showed just how bad the falling out had been on Tyneside between the club and the wantaway striker - though they did have time to make their own move for another forward who had made his intention to leave clear in Brentford’s Yoane Wissa. Piero Hincapie, meanwhile, has bolstered Arsenal’s defensive options.
It looked for a long time like Liverpool would sign Marc Guehi, too, in a major deadline-day double deal, but despite paperwork being submitted for the transfer, the defender remains a Crystal Palace player. Emiliano Martinez also remains at Aston Villa after links with Manchester United - but with the window still open in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, could he, Raheem Sterling and others yet make a move?

How Liverpool could line up with Alexander Isak – and what happens to Hugo Ekitike?

Alexander Isak is, however, a Liverpool player - which poses an intriguing tactical question for Arne Slot as he looks to fit both the Swedish striker and Hugo Ekitike, who has impressed early in the season, into the same starting side. Chris Wilson looks at the possible options for the Liverpool manager.
When can Liverpool sign Marc Guehi?

Marc Guehi is still a Crystal Palace player after his £35m deadline day move to Liverpool broke down at the 11th hour.
Both clubs had agreed on a fee for the defender, who had undergone his Liverpool medical on Monday. However, the FA Cup winners withdrew from the deal after they failed to sign their preferred replacement when Igor Julio decided to join West Ham instead of Palace.
While Palace did buy another centre-back, in Jaydee Canvot, the 19-year-old was not considered ready to step in for Guehi straight away.
It means the Eagles captain will have to wait for his move away, which is still expected to come inside the next 12 months.
By forfeiting the £35m fee for Guehi, Palace now risk losing the player for free to Liverpool next summer when his contract at Selhurst Park expires.

“To have signed for Manchester City is such a special and proud moment for me,” said Gianluigi Donnarumma to the club website after joining Pep Guardiola’s side.
“I am joining a squad packed with world-class talent and a team led by the one of the greatest managers in the history of football in Pep Guardiola. This is a club every player in world football would love to join.
“I have admired watching Manchester City for many years - so to now be able to play for the club is a huge honour and a privilege.
“I cannot wait to meet my new teammates, the staff and the fans. Playing at the Etihad Stadium will be very, very special for me.
“I am very excited for what lies ahead and can promise that I will give absolutely everything to try and help the club achieve even more success.”

Brighton midfielder Matt O'Riley has signed for Marseille on a season-long loan deal.
The transfer was completed before the deadline on Monday but announced on Tuesday morning and will see the Denmark international play in Ligue 1 for the 2025/26 campaign.
The 24-year-old links up with former Seagulls boss Roberto De Zerbi, though the pair never crossed paths on the south coast.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler said: "Matt has the opportunity to challenge himself at the highest level in France and in the Champions League.
"We have a lot of competition in the midfield positions, and while we see Matt's long-term future here with us, this gives him the potential of more game time.
"We will monitor his progress throughout the season with Marseille, and we wish him well for the rest of the season."

Alexander Isak has become the sixth player to command a fee worth in excess of £100m from a Premier League club - and perhaps slightly surprisingly, he is the first true centre forward on the list.
Here are the previous nine-figure deals:

Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea - February 2023, £106.8m
Declan Rice, Arsenal - July 2023, £100m rising to a potential £105m

Nicolas Jackson's prolonged Chelsea exit has finally been resolved after the club agreed a season-long loan deal with Bayern Munich.
It is understood that the 24-year-old has moved on an initial loan worth €16.5m (£14.3m) with an obligation to buy for €81.5m (£70.4m) on a five-year contract if a certain number of appearances is reached.
The Blues confirmed the news at 10pm on Monday, adding in a short statement: "We thank Nico for his efforts throughout his time at Stamford Bridge and wish him well in Germany."
Jackson told Bayern's website: "I'm really happy to now be part of this great club. Bayern is one of the best clubs in the world.
"Everyone knows the names of the legends who've played here and knows that this club stands for the greatest success. I've got big goals and dreams here and will give my all to help Bayern win further titles."

The transfer window may be shut in the Premier League but there are still a few administrative bits to be done.

A very good morning. The transfer window has, as I believe is the preferred parlance, slammed shut, with record spending of upwards of £3bn in the Premier League showing where the power really lies in European football. Miguel Delaney sums up a summer dominated by four key themes:

Aston Villa have completed a double deal by signing winger Jadon Sancho and midfielder Harvey Elliott on loan as Unai Emery belatedly brought in reinforcements.
Sancho has left Manchester United on a third loan in successive seasons, after spells at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea.
Villa will pay a loan fee and have guaranteed 80 percent of his considerable wages but United had hoped to sell the England international this summer. Roma and Dortmund had both been interested in him.

Wayne Rooney has questioned whether Arsenal are brave enough to win the Premier League title.
Mikel Arteta is bidding to end three years of second-place finishes and finally win the English top-fight with the Gunners, but suffered an early-season blow as his side lost to reigning champions Liverpool on the weekend.
A stunning Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick proved the difference in an otherwise largely uneventful game, with Arsenal failing to capitalise on Liverpool’s lack of fluidity throughout the contest.

Bayer Leverkusen have sacked Erik ten Hag after only two Bundesliga games in charge of the club.
Although Ten Hag won his first match at the helm – a 4-0 victory over fourth-tier SG in the first round of the German Cup – he oversaw a troubled start to the new league season. Leverkusen lost their opening game, a 2-1 home defeat by Hoffenheim, and then let a two-goal lead slip against 10-man Werder Bremen this weekend.

The Premier League club, who paid Ajax £85m for the Brazil international, will also have a 50 percent sell-on clause, while Antony will leave without a pay-off.

Unimpressive Benjamin Sesko already looks like the odd man out to raise Man United concerns
Monday 1 September 2025 23:10
,
Richard Jolly
For the second time in four days, Benjamin Sesko was the last in line. The final outfield Manchester United player to take a penalty in the shootout at Grimsby, the 20th out of 20, was the last attacking change made by Ruben Amorim against Burnley. Even when first Matheus Cunha and then Mason Mount went off injured, Sesko lingered unused, overlooked as Amorim sent for Joshua Zirkzee and then Kobbie Mainoo, a misfit and a midfielder respectively.
He was the £66m spectator; until Burnley equalised for a second time, anyway, and Sesko made his third Premier League appearance: all as a substitute, none yielding a first United goal. If Bruno Fernandes’ 97th-minute winner probably came as a relief to Amorim, it should have done to his biggest buy as well. Sesko had headed a Bryan Mbeumo cross over the bar and a Diogo Dalot centre wide.
