Deadline day key events
"I took it badly": Sarr hits back at Pochettino jibe at Chelsea
Former Chelsea defender Malang Sarr has admitted that he was affected by comments made by Mauricio Pochettino during his time at Stamford Bridge.
Sarr's largely forgettable stint at Chelsea came to an end in the summer when he moved to Lens on a free transfer.
However, that move only came about after a season in the wilderness at the Blues, the versatile defender not making a single outing during Pochettino's solitary year at the helm.
The Argentine failing to use Sarr in a single game did not necessarily come as a surprise after he famously questioned who Sarr was during one of his early press conferences.
Newcastle 'join Arsenal and Liverpool' in battle for attacker

Newcastle United are reportedly contemplating whether to enter the race for PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko.
The Magpies endured somewhat of a frustrating summer transfer window as they failed to add an experienced attacker to their senior ranks.
Nevertheless, after a period where they successfully avoided any sanctions for breaching the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability regulations, Newcastle have since made a positive impact in the top flight.
Victories over Arsenal and Nottingham Forest before the international break have left the North-East outfit sitting in eighth place in the Premier League table with a game in hand.
Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal 'learn asking price' for Brighton forward Ferguson
Brighton & Hove Albion have reportedly reached a decision over the asking price of Evan Ferguson.
The likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal have all been frequently linked with the Republic of Ireland international over the past 18 months.
That is a consequence of the forward bursting onto the scene in the Premier League before the age of 18 on the back of a transfer from Bohemians.
With Brighton agreeing a contract with the now-20-year-old until 2029, a move away from the Amex Stadium once appeared unlikely.
Arsenal 'make decision' over January Jorginho sale amid Besiktas interest
Arsenal have reportedly reached a decision over how to handle the future of Jorginho in the January transfer window.
When the midfielder departed Chelsea for the Emirates Stadium in January 2023, there was an air of uncertainty over whether he would prove to be a valuable addition.
In making 35 starts and 25 substitute outings in all competitions, the 32-year-old can claim to have justified his £12m transfer fee at a time when Mikel Arteta has not always had a fully-fit squad at his disposal.
The most recent of the aforementioned starts came as recently as Saturday afternoon as the Gunners recorded a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
Out of this world: Arsenal to make 'astronomical' bid for Serie A star?
Arsenal could reportedly table an 'astronomical' offer to sign AC Milan and Netherlands midfielder Tijjani Reijnders next summer.
The 26-year-old has supposedly caught the eye of a handful of Premier League teams thanks to his displays in Serie A, including all of Manchester City, Liverpool - whose current boss Arne Slot managed Reijnders at AZ Alkmaar - and Tottenham Hotspur.
Reijnders has been responsible for eight goals and seven assists in 65 games for the Rossoneri since joining in a €20.5m (£17m) transfer in 2023, including four goals and three assists from 15 outings this term.
The Netherlands international was one of the scorers in Milan's astonishing 3-1 win over Champions League holders Real Madrid earlier this month, and his contract at San Siro runs for another four years.
Throw him to the Lions? Zirkzee 'has five escape routes' from Man Utd
Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has supposedly been offered the chance to continue in the Premier League with Aston Villa should he depart the Red Devils next year.
Old Trafford chiefs are said to harbour serious concerns about the former Bayern Munich protege, who has failed to live up to expectations since his £35.3m arrival from Bologna in the summer.
Zirkzee made the perfect start to life in Manchester, netting the winner in the Red Devils' 1-0 victory over Fulham on the first matchday of the 2024-25 Premier League season, but he has now gone 16 games without finding the back of the net.
The 23-year-old has also mustered just two assists during that dry spell and has not started a Premier League game since September, being restricted to five substitute appearances over the past several weeks.
Ruben rejected: Man United's 'unsuccessful feeler' for Real Madrid star revealed
Manchester United have supposedly seen an approach to sign a highly-rated Real Madrid midfielder rejected by the player himself.
Funds at Old Trafford are expected to be limited for the January transfer window, but Ruben Amorim should be given a healthy budget to mould the squad into his own vision during the summer of 2025.
A new midfielder is likely to be near the top of the Portuguese's agenda, as both Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are likely to leave; the former has even been linked with a shock return to Real Madrid amid their current defensive crisis.
Neither man is expected to play a key role in Amorim's midfield for the remainder of the season, though, as the consensus is that Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo will be the first-choice pairing in his 3-4-3 setup.
