Carlos Alcaraz you say?

We'll start coming up with some tennis puns then.

We are still waiting for Everton to complete the signing of midfielder Carlos Alcaraz on loan from Flamengo, with an agreement being reached between the clubs on Friday.

Sources close to the player had told he was scheduled to fly in and have a medical on Merseyside on Sunday, but we have not have official confirmation of the deal going through.

It remains to be seen what business the Toffees do after that. Manager David Moyes has made no secret about wanting to bring players in, especially a striker.

But who is available out there that can come in and do a job immediately for Everton? It feels like we are waiting for one domino to drop somewhere which could trigger moves in the rest of the chain.

Time is ticking though.

Deadline day is building some momentum now. Let's check in at Goodison Park next...

Crystal Palace had shown interest in Juventus centre back Tiago Djalo.

The 24-year-old is currently on loan at Porto and would have required Juventus to recall him and then loan him to Palace.

That would have required a lot of work and at the moment it seems as if Djalo is going to be staying at Porto.

Is this going to be our big story of deadline day - Tottenham's pursuit of Marc Guehi?

Don't underestimate that final sentence from Alex, too.

"For the Eagles to let Guehi go it would take a massive fee and for them to have a replacement lined up."

Spurs will be hoping Palace have someone waiting in the wings.

There are reports from the Athletic and the Guardian that Crystal Palace have rejected a bid in the region of £70m for Marc Guehi.

We have spoken to one source with knowledge of the offer and they acknowledge that Palace have rejected a bid for their captain.

Mid season deals are always hard to do but a deal to take Guehi out of Crystal Palace may be even harder at this point in time.

The Eagles only have three fit centre backs with Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix and Guehi.

Trevoh Chalobah has been recalled by Chelsea and Chadi Riad has been ruled out for the season with an ACL injury.

Palace play with a back three and Guehi captains the side.

For the Eagles to let Guehi go it would take a massive fee and for them to have a replacement lined up.

Good point Daniel.

Maybe Arsenal are getting unfair criticism then? Which club could really do with a signing today? Even more than the Gunners.

Ruairi McConville, 19, has completed a permanent move to Norwich City, for undisclosed terms from Brighton.

The Northern Ireland international has only featured twice this season for the Seagulls in the EFL and FA Cup.

Brighton technical director, David Weir said: "Ruairi wants to play regular senior football and establish himself.

“The offer from Norwich City is a very good one for the club, as well as giving Ruairi that opportunity, and we wish him the best of luck for the future.”

The window shuts at 23:00 GMT tonight. Just saying...

Thanks Anon. Remember to leave your names on texts if you can. I can't recall an example of Arsenal signing a forward early in a transfer window.

All I can remember is everyone staying up late to watch them sign Andrei Arshavin in 2009, that was a deadline day move.

Arsenal

Hello! Joe Rindl here. Can we give a big round of applause to Craig Nelson for his brilliant effort looking after the transfer live since 7am, please?

Craig's grabbing a well-earned break now, so I'll be in charge. Bring on the typos...

Chelsea and West Ham look like being two of the more active clubs on deadline day, with Evan Ferguson about to join the latter from Brighton and James Ward-Prowse returning from Nottingham Forest.

It is one of those days that underlines managers are only partially involved in deals as Enzo Maresca and Graham Potter's biggest task today is the Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge tonight.

It always feels a little unfair to me that a match is being played on transfer window night. West Ham were in the same position last season, when they had a match at Luton.

How about a Marc Guehi update?

The Guardian are reporting that Crystal Palace have rejected a £70m bid from Tottenham for the England defender.

Back in August sources told BBC Sport that Palace value the centre-back at around £70m.

They rejected three Newcastle bids for Guehi in the summer with the last believed to be in the region of £60m.

Guehi, 24, has just 18 months left on his contract. Will the Eagles cash in if Spurs match their valuation?

Should a £70m deal go through, it would be Tottenham's highest transfer fee paid and Palace's highest received.

We're another hour closer to the 23:00 GMT deadline, so let's have a recap of the past hour - the pace is picking up!

Completed deals:

Brighton have confirmed the signing of Stefanos Tzimas from Bundesliga 2 side FC Nuremberg - the move is subject to international clearing.

James Ward-Prowse has returned to West Ham from Nottingham Forest after the two clubs came to a mutual agreement to end his season-long loan.

In the Championship, Burnley have signed 26-year-old Marcus Edwards from Sporting on loan until the end of the season.

What deals could happen?:

It has emerged that Tottenham are interested in signing Crystal Palace captain, Marc Guehi, 24, who was strongly linked with a move to Newcastle in the summer.

French forward, Mathys Tels, 19 has been linked with a move to the Premier League with Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea or Aston Villa.

BBC Sport's Phil McNulty reports Liverpool are "in a position of luxury" as they don't intend on bringing in any reinforcements.

However, Jayden Danns, 19, could possibly go out on loan to Championship side Sunderland.

James Ward-Prowse had been on loan at Nottingham Forest this season, but has returned to West Ham early after the two clubs came to a mutual agreement.

There was no obligation to buy in the initial loan deal.

Ward-Prowse made just nine league appearances for Forest this season.

In announcing his return, West Ham said that the 30-year-old midfielder would add "experience, depth and quality" to Graham Potter's squad.

The talk around Arsenal coming into this January transfer window was whether they would sign a striker.

Mikel Arteta has been clear throughout January that if they saw a deal that would improve the squad and help the team long term then the club would do it.

The injury to Gabriel Jesus has lessened the options the club has but they are still finding the back of the net.

Arsenal are the second highest scorers in the Premier League after their 5-1 win over Manchester City and the club's top scorer Kai Havertz was one of those to find the net.

While the Germany forward has been criticised this season, he now has 15 goals in all competitions.

Sources with knowledge have said that Arsenal are ready to make signings, but new players aren't imminent.

Mathys Tel has been linked to the club but a move for him from Bayern Munich doesn't look likely.
