Deadline day always brings with it a number of surprising last-minute deals that may or may not go through but there is already plenty of speculation that has been doing the rounds for days or even weeks and, in some cases, months.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s headline-grabbing return to Manchester United could mean more than one player heads for the exit door at Old Trafford.
While the majority of Leeds United’s business has been done early in the window, as they prefer to do, could there be a last-gasp deal to be had?
In particular, could Marcelo Bielsa be set to finally complete a deal nearly 1,000 days in the making after missing out on the same player in the last seconds of January 2019’s transfer deadline day?
Elsewhere, Liverpool may yet bolster their squad by swooping for a player from a Premier League rival. For Everton, Rafa Benitez looks set to be active in the last few hours of the window as he bids to bolster his squad and build on an impressive start to the season.
The London clubs, particularly West Ham, could be busy – there looks to be work to do at Arsenal, also – and at the bottom end of the market there may yet be deals to be done at Burnley and Brighton.
A few big names could be set to depart the Premier League and further their careers elsewhere in Europe. It certainly promises to be a busy time.
17. Phil Jones - Newcastle United
Steve Bruce wont be making any permanent deals but a loan move for Jones from Manchester United looks the most likely piece of business they could pursue before the window shuts. The 29-year old is yet another to be linked with more than one Premier League club but it is understood the Magpies are favourites to land him. Photo: Matthew Peters
18. Divock Origi - West Ham
The Liverpool forward was said to be on Crystal Palace's radar but with Eagles having reportedly moved focus to other targets it's the Hammers who have emerged as late contenders to land the hero of the 2019 Champions League final. Photo: NurPhoto
