Championship promotion hopefuls Watford have continued to strengthen their side with the arrival of Netherlands defender Wesley Hoedt from Belgian side Anderlecht.

The 28-year-old signs a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Hornets.

Hoedt previously spent two seasons in England with Southampton, making 45 appearances for the Saints between 2017 and 2021.

Derby are closing in on a loan deal for Tottenham youngster Harvey White.

The 21-year-old England youth international has made three first team appearances for Spurs, having spent the second half of the 2020-21 season on loan at Portsmouth.

Rams boss Paul Warne said after last night’s FA Cup defeat by West Ham that he was hopeful of adding to his squad for the second half of the League One campaign.

Championship side Preston have confirmed the signing of midfielder Josh Onomah on a deal until the end of the season.

Onomah was released from his contract at Fulham earlier today.

This is feeling very much like the calm before the storm. To be fair the calm has been here for the entire day but there's enough potential deals simmering to suggest we could have an interesting night ahead.

Remember the window shuts at 11pm, but deal sheets can be submitted after then so could be a late one for any big moves.

Real Betis have completed the signing of Leicester striker Ayoze Perez on loan until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old has made 13 appearances for the Foxes this season.

Barcelona have kind of... signed their own player today?

They were, not for the first time, involved in a dispute with La Liga over registrations.

This time La Liga said they could not register 18-year-old Gavi's new first-team contract because they are over budget. That would have meant him playing on as a B team player, as he has been all season, but with a low release clause and shorter contract.

The club went to a commercial court in Barcelona, who ruled that they can register him,

La Liga has said it plans to appeal against that decision.

In the meantime Barcelona have given him the number six shirt. He had been wearing 30.

Bored of the transfer window? Then fear not because there's some actual live football on tonight as Newcastle take on Southampton in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.

Newcastle have a slender advantage after winning the first leg 1-0.

You can follow build up to that game here.

Remember, though, that a deal is never done until it is absolutely signed and sealed.

Here is a little reminder of a trio of big moves that looked locked in but never made it over the line...

Here are a few of the deals that are in the works this evening...

Chelsea have bid 120m euros (£105.6m) for Benfica's Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez

Sporting Lisbon full-back Pedro Porro is in London for a medical before a move to Tottenham

Arsenal have agreed a £12m deal with Chelsea to sign Italy midfielder Jorginho

Austria midfielder Marcel Sabitzer is flying to the UK to complete a loan deal from Bayern Munich to Manchester United

Southampton have agreed to sign Rennes winger Kamaldeen Sulemana for a club record £22m

Phil: As usual the clowns running our club at Everton take 3 days to announce Dyche now we only have today to get a striker as usual we will panic buy the board gonna get us relegated for being far too slow.

This all feels very much like the calm before the storm as clubs gear up to seal deals and make a big social media splash in prime time.

A reminder that the most notable deals so far have all seen players leave the Premier League on loan.

Joao Cancelo has left Man City to join Bayern Munich

Djed Spence has been lent to Rennes by Tottenham

Diego Llorente has joined Roma from Leeds

The biggest signing so far by an English top-flight club is Harrison Ashby joining Newcastle from West Ham for £3m.

If Conor Gallagher is indeed staying at Chelsea this window, I wish him all the best of luck in competing for a place in that Chelsea midfield if they sign Enzo Fernandez.

I understand that it is now unlikely Conor Gallagher will leave Chelsea before the window closes tonight.

Richard: Does Todd Boehly think football is like Pokemon? You don't have to catch 'em all, Todd.

Portsmouth have signed defender Di'Shon Bernard on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old started his career in Chelsea's academy before joining United as a teenager.

He made his only first-team appearances so far for the club in 2019 in the Europa League.

Most recently, he spent last season on loan at Championship side Hull, where he played 28 times, and has also spent time with Salford on loan.

As the January transfer window enters its final day, we've been asking what business Everton still need to do between now and 23:00 GMT.

Here are some of your views:

Mike: Everton are in desperate need of goals and pace. A striker who can score double figures before the end of the season is essential and has been for years. We never replaced Lukaku and didn't replace Richarlison last season. We lack pace in midfield and are crying out for someone who will drive forward and link play up quickly. Big job on for Dyche.

Ian: Sign anyone from the tea lady upwards. Let’s have a completely clean slate.

James: Hopefully with the funds generated from the Anthony Gordon sale, we can bring in a couple of players for modest fees from Europe or the Championship. I sincerely hope after the money wasted on McNeil and Maupay that we have learnt our lesson on paying over the odds for Premier League cast-offs.

Rob: Desperately need someone to put the ball in the back of the net. Links with the Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres from Coventry excites me. He looks the whole package; strong, good with his feet and knows where the goal is! My only concern is that Coventry wouldn't want to lose him in January, especially if they still had eyes on the play-offs.

Chris: A proven goalscorer is a must! If they can also hold the ball up, be calm under pressure and link play, it would be perfect. A playmaker is wishful thinking. Gueye and Onana aren't working together and Iwobi is not going to thread that killer defence-splitting pass. Build the team around Onana, he is the one saving grace in this dire period.

Andy: Everton pretty much about to go full pity mode in their transfer strategy. like the team getting battered asking to swap a player from the opposition, “please city, Chelsea, Southampton, anyone loan us a player any player”
