Derby are hoping to clinch a deal for Manchester City striker Patrick Roberts before this evening’s deadline.

Wayne Rooney has been busy trying to bolster his squad today after the frustrations over the time taken for the club’s proposed takeover to go through.

Roberts signed a two-and-a-half year extension to his City contract in 2019, that is not due to run out until next year.

That will take his stay at the Etihad Stadium to seven years – but he has only played for them three times.

He has so far had seven different loan deals with four clubs and has been with Middlesbrough since January 2020.

Happy Brighton fans?

Brighton > Manchester United?

Swansea City are set to sign Derby County forward Morgan Whittaker for around £700,000.

The 20-year-old made 21 appearances for Derby last season but has made only 11 so far in this campaign.

Derby academy product Whittaker has represented England at all age groups from under-16 to under-20.

The Swans have also been linked with DC United's Paul Arriola.

Can you name every British record signing since 1981 (incoming and outgoing)?

I got 17/18 in a couple of minutes but just couldn't get the final one.

Have a go at our quiz here.

(Pretty sure we're not going to get a new record today...)

Tom Art: I was in France the day Wales played Portugal in the Euro 2016 semi. I said to a local I was from Wales (Pays de Galles)...he'd never heard of it or Bale and co. But when my girlfriend said she's Irish, he immediately starts chanting "Will Grigg's on fire!". Typical!

Piers: Once upon a Grigg, I was in a nightclub that's in a cave at the top of a huge hill in Trinidad, Cuba. I made friends with the MC who foolishly gave me the mic only for me to sing 'Will Griggs on fire'.Sadly the Cubans weren't so aware...yet.

There's taking the shirt off somebody's back and then there's...

Ozan Kabak's Instagram post from 2018 was almost clairvoyant.

Will he be signing his own shirts and sending them out in a couple of years?

Hearts have signed Shamrock Rovers midfielder Aaron McEneff, 25, for a reported 200,000 euros (£175,000).

He has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Scottish Championship leaders.

They have now, Keith...

A couple of EFL transfers to bring you too...

Bradford City have signed forward Charles Vernam from Burton Albion on an 18-month deal, for an undisclosed fee.

Exeter City have agreed a loan move for Newport County midfielder Robbie Willmott until the end of the season.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Graham Potter on Moises Caicdeo: "It’s no secret we have been working to bring Moises to the club, and we are very pleased he is finally here.

"He will need time to settle in with the group, for us to get to know him and vice versa, as well as get up to speed and ready for the demands of the Premier League.

"He has done very well in Ecuador and made his debut for his country at just 18. He’s an exciting signing, but it is important we give him time to adjust."

Biggest signing of the day so far?

Let's get the thoughts of Graham Potter.

Brighton have completed the signing of Moises Caicedo on a contract until June 2025 from Ecuadorian top-flight side Independiente del Valle.

The transfer remains subject to international clearance, but the 19-year-old midfielder arrives having won the 2020 Under-20 Copa Libertadores, as well as making his senior debut for Ecuador in October.

7 hours to go.

The "Liverpool sign Kabak/Davies" graphics are waiting. But in the meantime, we have some news elsewhere...

Leicester City

After the lack of business last January, which I believe cost us a Champions League place, I was looking forward to some signings this time.

However it looks like it will be more departures than arrivals with the emergence of our youngsters all doing well and coming through like Thomas along with the revival of the likes of Abrighton, Fuchs and Mendy and the return of Pereira.

Slimani has finally flown the nest and Gray has followed. A £30m loss on Slimani, but it does free up his wages and we hope that we finally get the striker as back up for Vardy we have been screaming for for the past four windows now. Edouard, known to Rodgers from his Celtic days and similar in style to Vardy is the strongest link and the one wanted by most Fox Fans.

A few loan deals happening. Lots of Liverpool talk. We caught up with a Leicester fan for their views on Deadline Day...

Manchester United defender Teden Mengi has joined Derby on loan for the remainder of the season.

Rams boss Wayne Rooney has been unable to make new signings due to the protracted nature of an impending takeover.

The 18-year-old made his senior debut as a substitute in United’s Europa League last-16 tie with Austrian club LASK in August.

Ryan: Sam Allardyce signing a player whose name is 'Okay' is the most Sam Allardyce thing since pints of wine.

I was at the Republic of Ireland's game against France at Euro 2016 and afterwards some French kids saw me and a friend with the Irish flag in the street.

'Sing the song', they said. We were baffled until we realised they wanted us to sing Will Grigg's on fire. We didn't have the heart to explain that's 'the other Ireland'. (Begley)

Does everybody have a Will Grigg holiday chant story?
