Welcome to Sports Mole's live coverage of summer 2024 transfer deadline day!
Stick with us to follow every twist, turn, done deal and rumour throughout England and Europe as clubs race to get their final pieces of business done before the window slams shut.
The deadline for English deals to go through is 11pm tonight, and some major moves are still expected to take place before that with plenty of big clubs seeking reinforcements or looking to offload players, and many big names expected to be part of that.
Deadline day key events
Chelsea planning fresh move for striker in 2025?
Chelsea are reportedly contemplating whether to make a fresh approach for RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko.
The Blues were one of several teams to identify the Slovenia international as a potential attacking addition during the summer transfer window.
However, Sesko ultimately decided to extend his contract with the Bundesliga giants in a bid to continue earning regular football at this stage of his career.
Although the 21-year-old has subsequently made 18 starts and two substitute outings in Germany's top flight and the Champions League, his position at the club appears less certain than it was earlier in the year.
Arsenal handed boost in pursuit of Ajax defender Hato?
Arsenal have allegedly received a boost in their efforts to secure a deal for Ajax defender Jorrel Hato.
Although the Gunners possess one of the best defensive records in the Premier League, there has been widespread speculation regarding several of their backup members.
A decision has reportedly already been made to allow Kieran Tierney to leave the Emirates Stadium, while Jakub Kiwior continues to be linked with a return to Serie A.
While it is unlikely that both players will exit North London in January, club officials will realistically have to start contemplating long-term alternatives for each player.
Pass master: Man United 'place highly-rated midfielder' on transfer shortlist
Atalanta BC midfielder Ederson is reportedly a transfer target for Manchester United, with the Red Devils giving serious consideration to making a move for him in 2025.
The 25-year-old has been in impressive form for Atalanta during the 2024-25 campaign, making 22 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice and registering one assist in the process.
Ederson arrived at his current club from Salernitana in 2022, and he has represented La Dea on 112 occasions, scoring 10 times and registering three assists, while he has been capped twice by Brazil.
According to journalist Florian Plettenberg, Man United have placed the Brazilian on their midfield shortlist, with the club 'scouting him multiple times'.
Rashford latest: Will Man United forward be involved against Bournemouth?
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has said that Marcus Rashford is in contention for Sunday's Premier League clash against Bournemouth despite being left out of the club's last two matchday squads.
There have been significant developments regarding Rashford's future over the last week, with Amorim deciding to leave the Englishman out of the squad for last weekend's Manchester derby due to poor performances in training.
Rashford then gave an interview to journalist Henry Winter on Tuesday where he revealed that he was open to leaving Man United, and the club's academy product was again missing for Thursday's EFL Cup quarter-final with Tottenham Hotspur.
The Red Devils will return to league action against Bournemouth on Sunday, where they will be bidding to bounce back from a 4-3 reverse to Tottenham in the last eight of the League Cup.
