Southampton have signed winger Ryan Fraser on a free transfer.

The 30-year-old mutually agreed to terminate his contract with Newcastle which has allowed him to join the Saints on a two-year deal.

Fraser played a significant role in the team’s promotion from the Championship during a season-long loan deal from Newcastle last term.

He has made 173 Premier League appearances across his spells with Bournemouth and Newcastle, as well as being capped 26 times for Scotland.

The money Crystal Palace would have got for Marc Guehi is safe with him. They have managed to keep him and they will still get figure another time down the line.

Without being disrespectful to Newcastle I think bigger clubs will come in for him and perhaps even offer more.

Eddie Howe is probably in limbo at the minute thinking, 'Why can't we get anybody in?' and 'Why can't we get anything over the line?'

When you look at his targets they have been really good targets, players who have been successful in the Premier League and that is what he is trying to create at Newcastle. He's trying to attack the Champions League places again.

It will be interesting to see the reaction if they don't get anything over the line in the next couple of hours.

Marc Guehi is going to be staying at Palace.

Guehi was the player of the tournament for England in the Euros, but he's going to be staying put at Palace.

Glasner congratulated the chairman and the owners for not giving in when a bigger club came in to buy one of their players.

The homegrown players rule in transfers is the worst one I have ever come across in football, certainly in the last 10-15 years. The idea that you have to sell homegrown players to balance the books is awful.

It is a serious rule that we need to take a hard look at. When you think of academies trying to produce players, fans latch onto that when they get into the first team, and all of a sudden the model is going to be producing them knowing they will be sold in five or six years.

The transfer window will close at 23:00 BST on Friday for the Premier League, English Football League and in Scotland.

Across Europe, the Bundesliga window closed at 19:00, Ligue 1's shuts at 22:00 and in Serie A and La Liga it is 23:00 BST.

The Women's Super League transfer window remains open until 23:00 BST on 13 September.

"He is among the very best ball-winning midfield players in the world and has an excellent record at both club and international level. His qualities, experience and passion will be a great complement to our strong group of midfielders.

In the Premier League when you look at settled teams and the teams that have been so successful over recent years, the likes of Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool – they haven’t done a massive amount of business.

They quite often get their business done early and then plug the gaps.

Quite often promoted clubs are scrambling around for ages desperately trying to get players in.

He could remain living in London but more importantly, it would allow him to link up again with Mikel Arteta, who he worked under at Manchester City.

"I’m realising a dream in my life, a dream come true, and I’m really, really happy," said Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto on joining Arsenal.

"I had two dreams as a kid to play for a football team. It was my team in Brazil, where I grew up and became a professional footballer, and also Arsenal. And now I’m realising it. I’m a really lucky person.

"To all the supporters of Arsenal, I’d just like to say I’m one more fan here. My dream has come true, I’m really happy.
