The former Sporting Lisbon player has signed a contract with United until June 2029, with the option to extend for a further year.

2130 – Manchester United have announced the signing of Manuel Ugarte from Paris St Germain.

Not long after the departure of fellow midfielder McTominay to Napoli was confirmed, United have sealed a deal for 23-year-old Uruguay international Ugarte.

The move, which has been in the pipeline for a while now, continues United’s summer rebuild which has seen Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui brought in.

2100 – The two-hour countdown has begun and Arsenal have just confirmed the expected signing of veteran goalkeeper Neto on loan from Bournemouth for the season.

The 35-year-old Brazilian helps cover the gap left by Ramsdale’s move to Southampton.

Lo Celso featured 24 times for Spurs last season and yet was made available for a transfer this summer after he entered the final 12 months of his contract.
Betis have made a move for the Argentina playmaker, 28, on deadline day and he is expected to return to the LaLiga outfit for a third spell.

It is a different story for young Spurs midfielder Alfie Devine, who despite plenty of loan interest earlier this summer could now stay at Tottenham for the first half of the season.

1715 – While speculation continues over the futures of players such as Toney, Jadon Sancho and Osimhen, Championship side Burnley have announced the season-long loan signing of Ecuador winger Jeremy Sarmiento from Brighton.

1410 – Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has confirmed England defender Marc Guehi is staying at the club.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the trip to Chelsea, Glasner said: “Yes I can confirm that.”

1355 – Ten Hag also dismissed speculation of Jadon Sancho leaving on transfer deadline day.

The England winger has not featured in the matchday squad for the Red Devils’ opening two Premier League matches, with Chelsea rumoured to be interested in his services.

When asked if he expected the 24-year-old to stay at Old Trafford, the Dutchman said: “As I know, yeah.”

No news on Raheem Sterling’s potential exit out of Chelsea, with reports suggesting he has been offered to Premier League clubs including London rivals Arsenal.

1040 – Southampton boss Russell Martin believes Aaron Ramsdale will have a huge impact at the club, should he join before the transfer window shuts at 11pm.

The England goalkeeper is expected to sign for the Saints on Friday, with Martin hoping to register the 26-year-old in time for his side’s Premier League trip to Brentford on Saturday.

“I think it will be massive,” Martin said during his pre-match press conference. “Some of the guys will be surprised that he is coming, but I think it is big. I think it will give everyone a lift.

“It will be a big call if we get Aaron on time for tomorrow’s game, so I feel for Alex [McCarthy, Saints goalkeeper]. It is a really tough part of football.”

1030 – Everton have confirmed the departure of striker Neal Maupay to Marseille.

The Ligue 1 side have an obligation to buy the striker at the end of the season-long loan.

1015 – Another England goalkeeper on the move is Sam Johnstone, who has completed a permanent transfer to Wolves from Crystal Palace.

The 31-year-old made 23 appearances in all competitions for the Eagles last season, but has not featured since March 9.

He will battle with Jose Sa for the number one shirt after signing a four-deal contract at Molineux.

Calvert-Lewin, who joined Everton from Sheffield United in 2016, is in the final year of his contract and has so far failed to reach agreement with the Merseyside club over fresh terms.

Newcastle failed to match Everton’s asking price for the 27-year-old after showing interest earlier this summer, but the Goodison hierarchy are braced for a possible late bid for the England striker.

0900 – Arsenal continue to weigh up late bids for Bayern Munich forward Kingsley Coman or Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling.

The Independent reports Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is on the hunt for an “explosive” player to expand the team’s attacking options. Top target Nico Williams has opted to stay in Spain.

Arteta reportedly has a strong relationship with Sterling stemming from their time at Manchester City, but has reservations about his high weekly salary, reported to be £325,000 a week at Stamford Bridge.

0825 – Newcastle have pulled out of negotiations to recruit England defender Marc Guehi as Crystal Palace refuse to budge on the £70million fee.

The Telegraph reports that while the Magpies have not ruled out a last-minute signing, it looks likely they could keep quiet until January.

Newcastle had looked confident of signing Guehi throughout the summer, but Palace refused to lower their asking price during several rounds of negotiations. The deal is not dead, though it looks increasingly unlikely it will be completed before Friday night’s cut-off.

0805 – Time is running out for England and Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who could be left in limbo as the transfer deadline looms, the Daily Mirror reports.

Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli held discussions with Brentford over a potential deal, but no offer has been made by a Premier League club despite early interest.

This leaves Toney in a race against time as the British transfer window closes on Friday night. Alternatively, a move to Al Ahli would have to take place before the Middle Eastern transfer window slams shut on Monday.

0745 – The first bit of movement of the day comes from the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Bournemouth goalkeeper Neto on a season-long loan deal, the PA news agency understands.

The Gunners’ move for the 35-year-old Cherries captain is a straight switch with no obligation or option to buy.

Neto’s arrival in north London will pave the way for England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to complete a permanent move to Southampton.

0730 – Welcome to the PA news agency’s live transfer deadline day blog.

The summer transfer window closes this evening at 11pm for Premier League, EFL clubs and teams in Scotland.

Plenty of deals are in the pipeline, with Bournemouth captain Neto in talks to join Arsenal on loan as a possible replacement for England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who is set to join Southampton on a permanent deal.

Chelsea have been linked with a last-gasp move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and Brentford’s Ivan Toney in their bid to sign a new striker.
