Transfer deadline day 2024 live online: all the latest summer soccer signings, Premier League, LaLiga...

Mikel Arteta asked about Raheem Sterling move

Could Raheem Sterling really be on his way to Arsenal? The English forward has dropped down the pecking order at Chelsea and is deemed surplus to requirements by head coach Enzo Maresca. 

Arsenal could benefit form attacking reinforcements and Sterling is a proven scorer in the Premier League, despite struggling at Stamford Bridge. A loan move might work out best for all parties for now, with the opportunity to make the move permanent in the future. 

Manchester United reinforcements in the defense

Erik Ten Hag knew that he needed to strengthen the defence for this season. First, the Red Devils paid $16.6 million for fullback Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.

Then two big names arrived at Old Trafford: Centre backs Matthijs de Ligt (Netherlands) and Leny Yoro (France). For the Dutch, the club paid $49.8 million to Bayern, while for the French, it paid $68.7 million to Lille. Unfortunately, the latter suffered a foot injury during the preseason and is expected to be out for two months.

Can Chelsea agree a deal for Victor Osimhen?

Even after a busy summer of transfer activity, all eyes are still on Stamford Bridge for deadline day. Chelsea are believed to be looking to bring in a recognised No. 9 after selling Romelu Lukaku to Napoli. 

In turn, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is a prime target for Chelsea but the London club want assurances about his wage demands before submitting an official offer. Are Chelsea about to add another attacking option in the final hours of the transfer window?

Coman keen to fight for Bayern place

We reported a little earlier than Bayern Munich were happy to let Kingsley Coman leave, with Saudi Pro League team Al-Hilal (Neymar's team) one of the interest parties. However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano now says the Frenchman has no plans to move on from the Bavarians, despite their willingness to move him on. 

The 28-year-old has, quite incredibly, won the league in every single season he's played (with PSG, Juventus and Bayern), with the exception of last season. 

Julián Álvarez is Simeone's chosen one at Atleti

Few of us, I think, were expecting this transfer. After winning every possible trophy with Manchester City and Argentina's first team, Julián Álvarez decided it was time for a change of scene. What better place to demonstrate his potential than in a team like Atlético Madrid, which precisely needed a forward. Diego Simeone's side paid $83.1 million to Manchester City, a fantastic deal considering that Alvarez's market value is estimated at $99.7 million. 

Sofyan Amrabat set for Fenerbahce loan

Remember when Sofyan Amrabat was one of the best players at the 2022 World Cup? He didn't quite manage to replicate that with Manchester United last season, and went back to Fiorentina after a loan spell. He's now set for a similar move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce, managed, of course, by former Red Devils boss José Mourinho. 

Marc Guéhi not leaving Crystal Palace for Newcastle

Marc Guéhi was one of the stars of England's run to the 2024 final, which attracted plenty of attention from potential suitors. However, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has revealed the defender won't be leaving the club in the current transfer window, much to the disappointment of Newcastle, with whom he had been heavily linked. 

Endrick takes the step to Europe with Real Madrid

Real Madrid wanted some competition in their attack. Although the transfer was made some months ago, Brazilian youngster Endrick finally arrived in Madrid in the summer. Los Blancos paid Palmeiras a $52.6 million fee for one of soccer's top prospects. What's more, the 18-year-old striker scored his first goal for Real Madrid on La Liga's matchday two against Valladolid in the Santiago Bernabéu. 

Neto to replace Ramsdale at Arsenal

With Aaron Ramsdale now having moved to Southampton, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has turned to Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto to replace him as back-up to David Raya. The Brazilian is having a medical at the Emirates for a loan move for the remainder of the season. 

Kylian Mbappé fulfills his Real Madrid dream

After years of rumors and failed transfers, Kylian Mbappé finally fulfilled his dream of becoming a Real Madrid player. Los Blancos can boast about signing one of the best soccer players on a free transfer. The Frenchman scored his first goal as a Real Madrid player in the Uefa Super League game against Atalanta; although he still has to score his first goal in the League, it is just a matter of time before it happens. 

Al-Ahli: Ivan Toney or Victor Osimhen?

Brentford attacker Ivan Toney is having a medical ahead of a potential move to Saudi Pro League team Al-Ahli, who have more than one iron in the fire. They have also agreed a deal with Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, although it's believed they will only be able to sign one of the two players due to restrictions on overseas players and 'finances'. Which one will go?

Chelsea (surprise, surprise) are also keen on Osimhen, so the Nigerian could end up at Stamford Bridge if Toney ultimately heads to Saudi. 

TRANSFER WINDOW

All the biggest moves in the 2024 summer soccer transfer window

There will no doubt be a few significant names added to this before the day is out. But for now, here are the biggest movers and shakers of the summer 2024 transfer windowso far. Bizarrely, two of the most high-profile players didn't cost their new clubs a single penny in terms of transfer fees. 

Aaron Ramsdale: Arsenal to Bournemouth (confirmed)

Aaron Ramsdale was Arsenal's first-choice goalkeeper a little over 12 months ago. After losing his place to David Raya, he's just signed for Premier League new boys Southampton on a four-year deal. He's already been full of praise for Saints manager Russell Martin, who he says made him feel "eight feet tall" during discussions. He should be handy between the sticks, then. 

Southampton believe they've signed him in time to play against Brentford tomorrow (Saturday), although the Premier League will have the final say. 

Ugarte signs for Manchester United?

Or does he? A number of reports, including from Fabrizio Romano, say Manchester United have confirmed the signing of PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte, although Sky Sports claim terms of the deal are still being finalised. He will inevitably be playing his soccer at Old Trafford this season, although everyone agrees he won't be playing against Liverpool on Sunday. 

Chelsea's Sterling set for Arsenal, or United?

Raheem Sterling is well and truly surplus to requirements at Chelsea, who are reportedly doing everything they can to move him on from Stamford Bridge. Arsenal are being linked with a move for the winger, while he could also be included as part of a potential deal that takes Jadon Sancho to The Blues from Manchester United. Ah, that rumour mill is in full flow!

Chelsea 'close' to Sancho move

Chelsea are "edging closer" to an agreement with Manchester United to sign winger Jadon Sancho, according to Sky Sports News. The British broadcaster says both loan and permanent moves are on the table, although it's likely to depend on The Blues moving players on first, with Raheem Sterling one of the candidates to leave. 

Kingsley Coman: Bayern ready to release

The talk around the whirling marketplace is that Bayern Munich are ready to offload their experienced French winger, Kingsley Coman, with Arsenal and Al-Hilal seen as the front runners for his signature.

We'll be keeping a close eye on developments...

Kepa Arrizabalaga: Chelsea to Bournemouth (confirmed)

If you were wondering what had happened to the world's most expensive goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, then here's what you need to know.

Things didn't go so well for the young Spaniard at Chelsea (he can feel better about that by looking around much of the playing staff at the Bridge over recent years) following his c.$80 million transfer in 2018. But now he can escape and demonstrate his abilities at Bournemouth, on loan.

"I know [coach] Andoni Iraola well, so of course that was a big reason for coming here, he spoke very well about everything here,

"I am so ready to be here and play in front of our fans. Hopefully we can win something and it could be a great year."

Sam Johnstone: Crystal Palace to Wolves (confirmed)

More Premier League intra-dealing as Wolverhampton Wanderers add goalkeeper Sam Johnstone from Crystal Palace. It's a four-year deal, with an extension for a further year available.

Jose Sa is expected to remain as number one choice between the sticks, but squad players also get their own welcome video. Check it out!

PREMIER LEAGUE

Is Federico Chiesa available to play for Liverpool against Manchester United?

No doubt you already saw that Italian winger Federico Chiesa has joined Liverpool. With the huge clash on Sunday against bitter rivals Manchester United, some fans (on both sides of the divide) are keen to know if he may feature at Old Trafford.

We sent Will off to check the rule book about registering players – which gives green light – and also to see what Arne Slot has been saying – much more amber/red-ish.

Neal Maupay: Everton to Marseille (confirmed)

Neal Maupay has made a loan move from Everton to Marseille for the rest of the 2024-25 season, with a commitment to a permanent transfer once the season concludes.

The 28-year-old forward heads to the Ligue 1 side following a stint at Brentford during the 2023-24 season. Maupay leaves Goodison Park after a challenging spell, where he managed only one goal in 32 appearances since joining from Brighton in August 2022.

James Ward-Prowse: West Ham to Forest (pending)

More action for the Hammers but this time a move that sees James Ward-Prowse exit and head north to Nottingham. As reported by David Ornstein, there is an agreement in principle for a season-long loan but no option to buy.

A very decent midfielder who'll be staying in the Premier League.

Carlos Soler: PSG to West Ham (pending)

West Ham is progressing in talks to sign Carlos Soler on loan, with negotiations ongoing with PSG. Soler is said to be eager for the move as personal terms have already been fully agreed upon.

Soler’s departure from the Parisian team will be a relief since he is not part of Luis Enrique's plans. PSG has been active in recent hours to sort out their squad.

As part of the loan deal, the Hammers are reported to have an option to buy for €23 million (c.$25m). He is traveling to London to undergo medical tests.

Big strikers on the verge

Two of the biggest headlines of today could involved Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney.

Both are being heavily linked with Chelsea (a club who are busier than ever offloading players this summer) but also very much in the sights of Al Ahli in the Saudi League.
