When does the transfer window close, I hear you ask? Or at least I hope you ask...

Here's the lowdown of how long clubs across Europe have got to start buying some players, and give me something to write about.

Window shuts at 17:00 GMT: Germany

Window shuts at 22:00 GMT: Italy , Greece

Window shuts at 23:00 GMT: England, France, Austria, the Netherlands

Window shuts at 00:00 GMT: Scotland

Clubs in Russia will be able to buy players until the end of February, while Portuguese clubs have until 17:00 GMT Wednesday. For Spanish clubs, it is already too late - window closed there.

Leeds United have issued a statement confirming that 29-year-old Jamaican midfielder Rodolph Austin will not be allowed to leave the club before the transfer window closes.

"There has been significant interest in the player and media reports over the weekend and on Monday had suggested that the club had agreed a deal for Rudy to exit Leeds United, but this is not the case," the statement read., external

"Rudy remains a vital part of Neil Redfearn's squad and will play a major part for Leeds United in the remaining 18 Championship matches and beyond."

BBC Sport's Andy Cryer: "It looks like Blackburn Rovers defender Jack O'Connell will be completing a move to Championship rivals Brentford today. A fee is close to being agreed between the two clubs for the 20-year-old centre-back."

BBC Radio Sheffield's Andy Giddings:, external "Cardiff have agreed a fee with Chesterfield in the region of £750,000 to sign striker Eoin Doyle. It is understood the player is en route to Wales for talks now."

Italian Serie A

BBC World Service Sport's John Bennett: "After signing Seydou Doumbia over the weekend, AS Roma have completed another move. Colombia international Victor Ibarbo has left Cagliari to join Rudi Garcia's side on a loan deal until the end of the for £1.8m. There's also an option to buy for a further £9.5m. Ibarbo started for Colombia in the World Cup Quarter-Final defeat to Brazil last year."

"Meanwhile, AC Milan have also completed the deal to sign Gabriel Paletta from Parma on a contract until 2018. Remember him Liverpool fans? He made three league appearances for the club in the 2006-2007 season."

"Liverpool youngster Sheyi Ojo has joined Wigan Athletic on loan.

"The 17-year-old joined the Reds' Academy from MK Dons in 2011 but has yet to make his first-team debut. He was named on the bench for the games against Burnley and Leicester City over the Festive period."

Just a quick update on Davide Santon's move from Newcastle to Inter Milan - which is yet to be confirmed.

The player's fiancée, speaking via her Twitter account, earlier claimed Santon had been forced into accepting the move,, external but has since deleted those tweets.

BBC World Service Sport's John Bennett: Is the Africa Cup of Nations preventing more deals being done on deadline day? Several players recently linked with moves to English football are still on international duty in Equatorial Guinea.

For example Ghana's Andre Ayew is out of contract at Marseille in the summer and had unsuccessful talks with several Premier League clubs in August.

But the logistics of organising medicals and paperwork in Equatorial Guinea means it's more likely he'll make a move at the end of the season.

But don't rule it out completely because over the weekend AS Roma signed Seydou Doumbia from CSKA Moscow and he's in Malabo with the Ivory Coast squad.

It is easy to tell you what has happened so far - not a lot. Robert Huth has joined Leicester on loan from Stoke, but we await our first permanent Premier League signing of this deadline day.

There is plenty in the pipeline, but still no confirmation of Juan Cuadrado's £23.3m transfer from Italian club Fiorentina to Chelsea. The Blues are waiting for Andre Schurrle's switch to Wolfsburg to go through before completing the deal for the Colombian.

In the meantime, I'll keep you updated on what Yakubu is up to at Reading... I expect he has just finished his lunch.

Harry Kane, who signed a new contract at Tottenham this morning, has been speaking to the club website., external "It's been a great past six months. I feel whenever I play I will get chances and get goals and that is what has happened this season, which I've been really happy about. Hopefully I can push on and things will go even better. I just want to get better as a player. I am still 21 and have a lot of football ahead of me. I have been at Spurs since I was 11 and have always loved the club. I just want to keep working hard and do my best for the club."

The results of the vote discussing the top January transfer window moves are in - and there is a conclusive winner, with Luis Suarez (Ajax to Liverpool in 2011) receiving 47.7% of the vote. The next nearest? That would be defender Nemanja Vidic, with 19.9% after his move from Spartak Moscow to Manchester United in 2006. Third? Daniel Sturridge, Chelsea to Liverpool in 2013, with 7.7%

We'll have another vote - this time discussing 10 of the poorer January deadline day moves later in the afternoon.

With clubs up and down the country looking for a bargain, today we're asking you: What is your value in the transfer market? And what would it take to convince you to join your rivals?

Simon Black, High Halden, Kent: I am a six foot one inch tall attacking player, completely two-footed and with bags of pace (a former 10.4 sec 100m sprinter) and an excellent long and short passing game. If I was younger than my 46 years I would be worth £30 million. However my 14-year-old son is six foot two inches tall with two good feet..

"West Ham are exploring the possibility of signing Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor, initially on loan. No further along the line than that."

Swansea City manager Garry Monk has likened the January transfer window to a cattle market.

The Swans have recruited four players during January and Monk has not ruled out further signings before the window closes on Monday at 23:00 GMT.

Monk is not anticipating a busy day and said transfers are now in chairman Huw Jenkins' hands.

"It can be a bit ridiculous at times. The summer [transfer window] is a lot easier than this one," Monk said. "[It's] a cattle market and everyone's selling all their cows and they're overpricing the cows - some of them are bad. If the valuations are wrong, which they normally are in this window, you can't do the deal."

West Ham

Two young West Ham wingers who featured in the club's 5-0 FA Cup defeat by Nottingham Forest last year have left the club after their contracts were terminated by mutual consent.

Blair Turgott, 20, has joined Coventry City on loan until the end of the season. The England Under-19 international has previously spent loan spells at Bradford, Colchester United, Rotherham United and Dagenham and Redbridge.

Matthias Fanimo - who was on loan at Tranmere earlier in the season - has also departed.

The 21-year-old represented England at Under-16, 17 and 18 level and was described as one of the Premier League's quickest players last year after matching Manchester United's Antonio Valencia and outpacing Arsenal's Theo Walcott in tests carried out using GPS tracking technology.

BBC Radio Stoke's Lee Blakeman:, external "Port Vale are still hoping to bring in at least one new player today. None are expected to leave."

Afternoon all - er, it's a bit quiet, isn't it?

So far we have seen more tumbleweed than top-flight transfers on this deadline day but this is where things start to get interesting, right?

A permanent signing by any Premier League club has got to be coming soon... I hope.

So, nine and a half hours left before the close of the Transfer window in England and it would be fair to say we haven't been flooded with done deals so far today.

That is it for me today as I pass you over to colleague Chris Bevan - watch the transfers flow...

By the way the vote is now closed and we will publish the results soon. Cheerio.
