Southampton

So what do Southampton fans make of manager Ralph Hasenhuttl suggesting earlier that there may be one or two deals still in the pipeline for later today?

Here's Ben Stanfield from the Total Saints Podcast:

"Despite the (very) last minute deal for Danny Ings in August, history tells us that a deadline day at Southampton never tends to be that chaotic.

"Since arriving at Saints, Hasenhuttl has made it abundantly clear that he is comfortable sanctioning moves for more experienced members of the squad who aren't in his relegation-survival plans (Wesley Hoedt, Steven Davis, Manolo Gabbiadini, Cedric Soares etc.), and instead put faith in some of our younger players. A potentially risky strategy, but I'm sure he knows what he is doing!

"We still look a little short in the attacking third, so would hope any focus today is on that end of the pitch.

"If the Club can shift another player or two (i.e. Charlie Austin, Fraser Forster etc.), then there could still be some late action at Staplewood. At this stage, however, none of us are getting too carried away."

Christopher Pace: Just want Chelsea FC to stop signing midfielders! We have strength and depth there, not to mention an abundance of talented youth. Get Batshuayi back in the squad and maybe sign another CB and we should be good.

The top two meet in the Championship on Saturday, when leaders Leeds host Norwich.

No need for Canaries boss Daniel Farke to do any spying though - Leeds counterpart Marcelo Bielsa has just taken the unusual step of naming his starting XI 48 hours before the game.

Excellent mind games.

On paper, Boca Juniors’ latest signing appears fairly low-key - a 21-year-old defender who’s come through the ranks at Argentinos Juniors. No biggie.

So why has his announcement as Boca's latest signing blown up on social media? Because the player’s name is Kevin Mac Allister… and everyone is making the same joke.

The right-back has the same name as Macaulay Culkin’s character in the iconic 1990 Christmas film, Home Alone.

The creative photoshopping started immediately and it's pretty funny...

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Jonny Otto has signed a permanent contract with Wolves in a deal which will keep him at the club until 2023.

"The last few days we spoke about it and now it’s official, I’ll be at Wolves for the next four years," said Otto, "I’m really happy to continue to be involved with the team."

"The truth is that it was very easy to decide. I’ve adapted as if I have spent my whole life playing here in Wolves. For me, this was also very important.

"The Premier League is a different league, I think it's the best league in the world."

Connor Mountford: Really would be great for Swindon Town FC to sign a new striker, not scoring enough at all, need a clinical striker desperately.

John Hornby: I would love Middlesbrough to sign someone who isn’t a central defensive midfielder! Granted it won’t go with the Pulis system of play but we live in hope.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Chris Hughton: “We're quiet today and we're happy with what we have. In this window we've looked at bringing in some young players - that has always been a thought of ours.

"It's a nice feel to develop as a club."

A couple of League Two deals to bring you...

Notts County striker Kristian Dennis has joined Grimsby Town on loan for the remainder of the season, while QPR's Ilias Chair has signed for Stevenage on an identical deal.

Neil Harris: Leicester could do with a midfielder capable of either passing forwards or feeding Vardy. Failing that a Plan B from Puelball would be nice. 13 goals at home all season...

Three down, another six to go.

Sounds like there could be some incomings at Fulham.

Fulham

Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri: "In the last market, five players arrived on the last day. The club is working hard and something good can happen. It it doesn't, we'll remain strong."

It is great news for Man Utd that Anthony Martial has signed a new contract. He is a high quality player who will play a huge part in their future and is looking very happy with life with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in charge.

Manchester United

Martial has made 162 appearances and scored 46 goals since making his debut for Manchester United against Liverpool in September 2015.

“I am loving my time at this club," said Martial. "From the day I joined I have been made to feel part of the United family.

"This club is all about winning trophies and I am sure the next piece of silverware is not that far away.”

Interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added: “Anthony is one of those naturally gifted players that any coach would love to work with. For a young man, he has a good footballing brain which, when coupled with his exceptional talent, makes for a player with an exciting future ahead of him.

"This is the perfect club for Anthony to progress his development as a top-class forward and we are all delighted he has signed a long-term deal.”
