    West Ham United

    West Ham, B - signed decent cover for our biggest gap. I think JWP will be like having a new signing with a manager who will actually make use of his talents.

    Tom

    Keep sending your grades in for your club's transfer window.

    A: Passed with flying colours.

    B: Good - not outstanding.

    C: Got the essential business done.

    D: Room for improvement.

    E: See the teacher.

  2. 'Man Utd have weakened Amorim's resources'

    Rory Smith
    Chief Soccer Correspondent for The Athletic, on The Monday Night Club

    Manchester United have let two attacking players go and brought none in. I'm pretty sure that's not what they would have planned.

    If they had told Ruben Amorim they were going to weaken his resources and not strengthen I'm sure he wouldn't have agreed to that.

  3. Blackburn set to sign Forest's Dennis

    Nottingham Forest striker Emmanuel Dennis is close to a loan move to Blackburn with Luton forward Cauley Woodrow also due to join him.

    Rovers have been interested this window but there was not a huge amount of confidence the deal would get done earlier today.

    They have managed to find a breakthrough and Dennis is poised for a move to Ewood Park to help Rovers in their play-off challenge in the Championship.

    Dennis has not played for Forest this term and has spent time on loan at Watford and Turkish side Basaksehir in the last two seasons.

    Hatters striker Woodrow, 30, has made 16 appearances this season without scoring.

    He moved to Kenilworth Road from Barnsley in 2022 and has made 77 appearances - although just eight league starts - and scored six goals.

  4. Do you agree?

    About 18 months ago people were talking about Evan Ferguson as a potential £100m player - but he has only scored one goal for Brighton since November 2023.

    If West Ham get the 2023 version of Ferguson they're in for a treat.

  5. 'The best signing today is Ferguson'

    Simon Stone
    BBC Sport's chief football news reporter on BBC Radio 5 Live

    We are waiting for deals to be done. The best one I think is Evan Ferguson going from Brighton to West Ham on loan.

    He has been beset by injuries and lack of goalscoring and now he will be back playing.

  6. Willian in talks to re-join Fulham

    Fulham are in talks to re-sign Willian as a free agent after he cancelled his contract with Olympiakos.

    The 36-year-old is in London as the two sides look to agree a deal which would fulfil Marco Silva's request to sign a winger in the winter transfer window.

    Willian is currently at Chelsea's match at home to West Ham at Stamford Bridge as talks between the west Londoners and his entourage continue.

    The deal does not need to be rushed before the deadline at 23:00 GMT as Willian is a free agent.

  7. Leeds turned down a £10m bid for Mateo Joseph

    BBC Sport football news reporter

    Leeds United turned down a £10m bid from Real Betis for striker Mateo Joseph over the weekend.

    The 21-year-old is deemed too important to let go by the Yorkshire club but the situation likely also partly impacted by the club's inability to secure Southampton striker Cameron Archer.

    Sources close to Betis insist that Cucho Hernandez was the club's main target as their talks to sign the Colombus Crew forward near a conclusion.

  8. Transfers pending and done deals - recap

    Completed deals:

    Aston Villa have completed the loan signing of Marco Asensio, 29, from Paris St-Germain. The former Real Madrid forward will stay with Villa for the remainder of the season.

    Newcastle United defender Lloyd Kelly has completed a loan move to Serie A side Juventus. There is an obligation to buy in the deal for the 26-year-old and BBC Sport understand the fee to be £20m.

    Evan Ferguson, 20, has joined West Ham from Brighton on loan for the rest of the season.

    Brighton have confirmed the signing of Stefanos Tzimas, 19, from Bundesliga 2 side FC Nuremberg - the move is subject to international clearance.

    James Ward-Prowse, 30, has returned to West Ham from Nottingham Forest after the two clubs came to a mutual agreement to end his season-long loan.

    Burnley defender John Egan has joined fellow Championship side Hull City for an undisclosed fee. The 32-year-old has signed an 18-month deal.

    Nottingham Forest midfielder Lewis O'Brien, 26, has completed a loan move to Championship side Swansea City.

    Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has completed a loan move to German side Borussia Dortmund for a fee of about £2m.

    Middlesbrough have completed the loan signing of striker Kelechi Iheanacho, 28, from La Liga side Sevilla.

    Everton teenager Harrison Armstrong, 18, has joined Championship strugglers Derby County on loan for the remainder of the season.

    What deals could happen?

    Sources have told BBC Sport that Spurs have agreed a deal to sign 19-year-old Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich.

    The wait goes on for Manchester City and Nico Gonzalez, 23, though the deal is still expected to get done.

    Southampton's Flynn Downes, 26, could be a player who makes a late move ahead of this evening's deadline. Downes is linked with a move to Ipswich.

    AC Milan are close to agreeing a loan deal until the end of the season for 25-year-old Chelsea attacker, Joao Felix.

    Mario Lemina is close to returning to Galatasaray from Wolves for £2.5m.

    According to reports in France, Tottenham Hotspur have made a £20m bid for Burnley defender Maxime Esteve, 22, following the news that Radu Dragusin has suffered an ACL injury.

    St Etienne midfielder Mathis Amougou, 19, is set to join Chelsea for a fee of around £12m.

    25-year-old Manchester United left-back Tyrell Malacia is set to join PSV Eindhoven on loan.

    Sky Sports are currently reporting that Crystal Palace winger Jeffrey Schlupp, 32, could join Celtic before tonight's deadline.

    Crystal Palace defender Rob Holding, 29, is set to join Championship promotion hopefuls Sheffield United on loan, according to reports.

    Fulham have made a late approach to sign AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze, 25, reports Fabrizio Romano.

    Chelsea defender Axel Disasi is set to sign for Aston Villa on loan for the remainder of the season. It was thought earlier today that Disasi would be heading to Spurs but the 26-year-old will now join Unai Emery's side for a loan fee of £5m.

  9. Two hours to go until the deadline. So let's have a recap of what's happened today shall we?

  10. 'Both parties can be happy and move on'

    Theo Walcott
    Former England forward on the Monday Night Club

    I feel like Amorim is still going to be about Rashford because he will do well there.

    Both parties can be happy now and move on. The football is all that matters.

  11. Manchester United

    A screengrab of the Manchester United squad page is doing the rounds on social media.

    It shows that four of their eight forwards have now gone out on loan.

    Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Ethan Wheatley have gone out on loan.

    Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho remain. Thoughts, United fans?

    Remember we're not expecting any more business from Manchester United this evening.

  12. A striker at Arsenal looking unlikely with not long left in window

    I'm at the Emirates Stadium and there is still no sign or noise of any forward coming in.

    Mikel Arteta said through the transfer window that the club were looking for a striker but would only bring one in that could have an 'impact'.

    It is true that the number of forward options they have are lower after Gabriel Jesus' ACL injury but the Gunners are managing to cope at the moment.

    They put five past Manchester City yesterday and are the second highest scorers in the league but supporters would have liked a new face in the door.

    There's just over two hours left in the window and it seems very unlikely for something to happen in that time.

  13. Man City and Nico Gonzalez

    Simon Stone
    BBC Sport's chief football news reporter

    The wait goes on.

    I am expecting this deal to get done.

    I am personally concerned I will hear the dreaded words 'Deal Sheet' meaning it will be after the 2300 GMT deadline.

  14. Armstrong signs new Everton deal; joins Derby on loan

    Everton

    Championship strugglers Derby County have signed Everton midfielder Harrison Armstrong on loan for the rest of the season.

    The 18-year-old has signed a new three-and-a-half-year deal with Everton at the same time.

    He played six times for Everton's first team this season.

    Aston Villa

    Okay, with a centre-back finally added, Villa are officially up to an A! Top of the class even? I suppose we can't know until we see how Rashford, Asensio and Malen get on. I'm really looking forward to seeing Andres Garcia's progression as well. Onwards and upwards. I'm just so happy with the direction of the club, the willingness of the owners to invest, and the overall ambition and belief of the mighty Villa at the moment. It's time to win the UCL!

  16. 'Rashford is out to prove himself'

    Theo Walcott
    Former England forward on the Monday Night Club

    It is a tough team because Aston Villa have a lot of good players as well. Unai Emery is a manager who is not shy of dropping players.

    It is about proving himself really, but not just to Villa but to everyone. And to himself as well.

    Aston Villa

    It's a strong B grade for me as a Villa fan at the moment. Get a strong defender in the final few hours and it'll rocket out grade up to an A+! Still a good day #UTV

    Paul

    Happy now, Paul?

  18. 'Rashford is on trial'

    Chris Sutton
    Former Aston Villa striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    We will find out, won't we? I think Marcus Rashford has a lot to prove and I wouldn't normally say that about a player like him.

    It is a risk from Aston Villa. Unai Emery feels he can get Marcus fully focused again and if that happens, there is no doubting the ability he has.

    It is a trial period. There is the option to move permanently in the summer. Marcus Rashford is on trial.

  19. 'Rashford needed a different environment'

    Rory Smith
    Chief Soccer Correspondent for The Athletic, on The Monday Night Club

    It is about Rashford finding an environment where he can thrive again.

    The allegation from Amorim was that Rashford is not trying in training. But we don't know exactly what that means.

    There are suggestions that his personal life has become a bit of an obstacle for him to overcome. But because that is all whisper and gossip, we don't fully know.

    Either way, it was clear that at Manchester United that wasn't changing. Maybe you need to just go somewhere else.

  20. Villa to claim transfer window trophy?

    Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia have been joined at Aston Villa today by attackers Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio.

    And now Axel Disasi, who we don't yet have a nice transfer picture of.

    Can Villa claim to have won the transfer window?
