    Wigan to AC Milan - it is like a move straight out of Football Manager

    Wigan defender Antonee Robinson is on the brink of a remarkable £10m move to AC Milan.

    The Serie A giants have been tracking Robinson, 22, for a number of weeks and are understood to have made a move for him on Thursday.

    Robinson joined the Latics from Everton in the summer after impressing on loan at the DW Stadium.

    The USA international started Tuesday's 2-1 win against Sheffield Wednesday in what could turn out to be his final appearance for the club.

    Robinson cost Wigan around £2m 12 months ago, although it is understood Everton negotiated a sell-on fee.

    While Wigan manager Paul Cook would not want to lose Robinson, with his side in the Championship relegation zone, he hopes to use the money to fund deadline-day spending that gives them a chance of avoiding a return to League One.

    If you thought the Salomon Rondon to Man Utd rumour was a bit far-fetched, this next one's a corker...

    Qaaltagh: Chelsea getting rid of Giroud for Mertens defies all sense. Tried and tested in England. Massively, massively underrated and underappreciated. Mertens appeals as he's new. There's a reason novelty toys sell well at Christmas - a distraction away from the real issues

    Nathan Thompson: Let’s kick things off early. Just seen Juan Roman Riquelme outside Greggs in Crewe. Man Utd new number 10?

    Steve Dunthorne: Following from Australia. Want QPR to replace Nahki Wells with a young PL striker.

  4. When does the window close around Europe?published at 06:54 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2020

    For Premier League and English Football League clubs the deadline is 23:00 GMT - with Scotland's at midnight.

    German Bundesliga clubs have until 17:00 GMT, with Italy's deadline at 19:00 GMT and France and Spain's windows closing at 23:00 GMT.

    Fernandes to Manchester United is the biggest deal in January so far

    Transfer spending by Premier League clubs in January increased from last year after two big deals were confirmed on the penultimate day of the winter window.

    Manchester United have completed the biggest deal so far, signing Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon for £47m, while Sheffield United brought in Norwegian midfielder Sander Berge from Belgian side Genk for a club record fee, reported to be £22m.

    With just one day remaining, the total outlay by top-flight clubs stands at £185.1m, an increase from the £180m spent last year, but a long way off the £430m record from 2018.

    The humble fax machine. Once, and probably still is, the most used piece of technology on transfer deadline day

    It can be the most exciting day on the football calendar but also the most anticlimactic.

    It's the day when Lionel Messi is spotted at Leeds-Bradford airport at exactly the same time he is seen at Stafford southbound services.

    And it's also the day your team is linked all day with a free-scoring striker only to get in a young lad from Watford on loan at 11pm.

    Yep, it's transfer deadline day.
