Transfer deadline day LIVE: Chelsea Camara deal off, Man Utd striker snub, record £3.2bn spend

Transfer deadline day LIVE: Chelsea Camara deal off, Man Utd striker snub, record £3.2bn spend Latest transfer news from Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and more - as Premier League clubs break summer window record with £3.2bn spend After a major summer of spending, the Premier League's summer transfer window drew to a close at 11pm on Tuesday evening. It was a record-shattering couple of months across the UK, with a total exceeding £3.2billion exceeded through deals. Manchester City and Chelsea agreed a £125m deal for Enzo Fernandez, with the wantaway midfielder finally leaving Stamford Bridge after months of speculation regarding his future. The Cityzens also welcomed Iliman Ndiaye to their ranks in a £65m move, further bolstering Enzo Maresca's choice. Sunderland's approach of Malick Fofana also dominated the headlines on Tuesday, with what should have been a straightforward move turning into quite the saga when Crystal Palace threatened to hijack the Black Cats' move. With Kyril Louis-Dreyfus flying to Lyon to persuade the 21-year-old winger to join his project at the Stadium of Light, Fofana gave Sunderland the green-light to put the wheels in motion on a move, forced to submit a dealsheet to ensure a transfer due to the last-minute nature of his decision. In West London, AS Monaco also knocked back Chelsea's £47m move for Lamine Camara in dramatic fashion. Everything had been agreed between the two clubs, when Monaco pulled the plug with just minutes to go until the deadline - with Everton's endeavours of securing Folarin Balogun having a knock-on effect. Chelsea were reportedly left fuming with the incredibly unprofessional last-minute decision. Mykhailo Mudryk also joined Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan, with Xabi Alonso hopeful that the Ukrainian is able to reacclimate to the pace of the Premier League after a two-year lay-off.

Key Events Everton's longstanding search for a right-back ended at the end of a chaotic deadline day for the club. The Blues completed seven deals on September 1, with the arrival of Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lyon the final one. It came with work continuing into the early hours to secure the arrival of AS Monaco forward Folarin Balogun. Maitland-Niles, a versatile former Arsenal player, is expected to fill the right-back slot at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Everton turned to the 29-year-old after a £9m move for Kenny Tete stalled with Fulham unable to secure a replacement. Everton had previously looked at Guele Doue, Alastair Johnson, Daniel Munoz and Timothy Castagne as they considered how to solve a problem that even the players acknowledged existed. Arsenal didn't disappoint on transfer deadline day... if your prediction was that they would disappoint on transfer deadline day. Gabriel Martinelli's sale is expected to go through with the Saudi window still open after the closure of the PLs. Ethan Nwaneri and Tommy Setford left on loan to BVB and Stevenage, respectively. Arsenal explored options but determined none were worth their investment or spot in the squad. Instead, they decided to keep their powder dry for the winter or next summer. Understand that Eze was seen as ahead of Martinelli in the pecking order at LW prior to the season starting regardless of whether the Brazilian was going to leave by Arteta. Madueke versatility another reason the club didn't panic buy despite exploring the market. Sale of Martinelli despite knowing the club might not be able to replace him was approved at all levels before sanctioning the record sale. Hull City have welcomed Christos Mouzakitis, Tim Iroegbunham, Sorba Thomas, Ilyas Ansah, Robinio Vaz and Brooke Norton-Cuffy today. It takes the Tigers' total amount of new arrivals to 18 this summer. Some going from the Premier League new boys! While the transfer deadline landed at 11pm, clubs who submitted dealsheets still have a little over an hour to wrap up their business. The Premier League allows until 1am for said deals to be confirmed, or they become null and void. A number of other dealsheets have been submitted across the Premier League. Mirror Football breaks some of them down below... Leeds United - Jean-Matteo Bahoya Crystal Palace - Ben Chilwell, Quinten Timber, Dario Osario Everton - Folarin Balogun Sunderland - Malick Fofana Everton have submitted a deal sheet in the hope of securing a move for Folarin Balogun. The club's bid to sign the US international appeared to hit a snag in the final hours of the window, sparking a desperate search for an alternative option. But with Manchester United refusing to sanction a loan move for Joshua Zirkzee and Tammy Abraham unwilling to leave Aston Villa, the Blues have decided to persevere with the AS Monaco forward. The club was also working towards the completion of a move for Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lyon as the deadline passed. The late business came at the end of a frenetic day in which Jack Grealish returned on loan but that saw Nathan Patterson, Tim Iroegbunam, Iliman Ndiaye and Beto sold. Sunderland have submitted a dealsheet for Malick Fofana, with hopes of getting a deal for the Lyon winger over the line in the coming hours. The 21-year-old is set to travel to Sunderland tomorrow, having completed a medical in France. As per Ben Jacobs, Monaco have gone back on their decision to transfer Lamine Camara to Chelsea. The £47m move is now off. It comes after Monaco renegotiated a deal with Folarin Balogun to Everton, which has impacted the transfer of Camara to Chelsea. The Blues see the act as incredibly unprofessional. The summer transfer window will close at 11pm, meaning that no deals can be discussed after the deadline. However, should the necessary discussions and agreements be made prior to the window closing, teams can still sign players after 11pm. This comes by way of a 'deal sheet' being handed to the relevant governing bodies before the deadline. A deal sheet is an application to the Premier League or EFL which stipulates a transfer has been agreed between two clubs and the player in question’s representatives, if approved clubs then receive an extension to the transfer deadline in order to complete administrative details. These extension may be utilised in the final two hours of the transfer window, which affords clubs an additional two hours to dot the Is and cross the Ts on the acquisition of a player. Should a club apply for an extension beyond the 11pm deadline, the transfer will fall through as the Premier League or EFL’s Board must receive the deal sheet prior to when the window would ordinarily have shut. And should a deal sheet be submitted in this two-hour period, all the documentation must be fully completed in order for it to be allowed. This is usually why many deals are confirmed up until 1am following deadline day, as clubs are granted an extra two hours to get everything done. Clubs use the deal sheets to avoid situations where moves are unable to go through. That's that! The summer transfer window has now come to a close, barring last-minute dealsheets - more on them in a moment. What a deadline day it has been!!! At the time of reporting - before the £125m deal for Enzo Fernandez between Man City and Chelsea is officially confirmed - the Premier League has surpassed last summer's all-time spending record, with £3.2bn splashed by the 20 clubs. Are you happy with your club's business? Leeds United have confirmed the arrival of Melvin Bard. The left-back becomes Leeds' sixth signing of the window, joining initially on loan amid a fee of around €1m. His deal contains the option of a €5m (£4.28m) purchase. Bard flew into the UK this afternoon and has completed his medical before the 11pm deadline. He is the answer to the long-term need for a left-footed back-up left-back to Gabriel Gudmundsson. The defender's acquisition was a market opportunity, taken up after Joe Rodon's injury on Sunday vs Brentford pressed home the shoow depth of defensive options amid Daniel Farke's back-five system. A deal for Frankfurt winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya has yet to be announced. Ten minutes of the window remain, but a deal sheet can be submitted to allow for extra time for the transfer to be finalised. Transfer deadline day looked like it was shaping up to a busy one at Liverpool late last week. Harvey Elliott has gone on loan to Valencia in search of first-team minutes and a £30m agreement has been struck with Genk to bring in 18-year-old goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans next year. There was no last-gasp attempt to sign a right winger or a late push for a central midfielder. And Cody Gakpo and Giorgi Mamardashvili both stayed put, despite interest from Manchester City and Nottingham Forest. As a result, deadline day simply came and went for the Reds, who will now look to give £123m Bradley Barcola his Premier League debut at Ipswich Town on Friday night. The summer transfer window is well and truly into the business end now, with less than 10 minutes remaining for clubs to finalise deals. We'll be right here until the very end! Taking to Instagram, Enzo Fernandez wrote: "Dear Chelsea, I want you to know that these have not been easy days for me. Writing this is not easy either. The truth is, l haven't been in a good place. "Three years ago, Cobham and Stamford Bridge became home for me and my family. I grew attached to the people, to the shirt, and to the badge of this incredible club. Believe me when I say that, from the moment I arrived, I became obsessed with winning and with bringing this club every trophy that its history deserves. "We suffered, we cried, I got angry many times, but we also celebrated titles and unforgettable victories. Together, through the good times and the difficult ones. I live football the same way I live my life: with passion and with all my heart. "That is why I want you to know that I understand you. I truly understand you, from the bottom of my heart. But life is about making decisions, and right now I find myself having to make one of those difficult decisions. I've said it before, but I want to say it again: I have grown incredibly fond of this club. "Chelsea will always have a place in my thoughts and, above all, in my heart. But I also understand how football works. I know how passionate you are, because l am the same. And if I were in your position, I would probably be thinking the same way. "I want to thank every single one of you: the staff, the coaching team, the medical team, the physios, and everyone who works at Cobham and throughout this great institution. To all my teammates over these years, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing so many moments with me. "I was truly happy here, and I wish you nothing but the very best for the future. Thank you for all the love and support you have given me and my family throughout these years. I will never forget it. This group will give you many more reasons to be happy, and I will be happy for you too. Never doubt that. "You will always be in my heart, Blues. I will always wish you, always, nothing but the very best. Always Blue. Thank you, Chelsea." Bournemouth have managed to retain Alex Scott for the rest of the season, with Manchester United and Chelsea - among others - linked with the midfielder this summer. The Cherries could demand as much as £100m for the 23-year-old in 12 months, dependent on how his 2026/27 plays out. As expected, it has been a quiet deadline day for Aston Villa. They confirmed two arrivals, Ibrahim Mbaye and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, but both deals were sorted before the pair were spotted inside Villa Park on Monday night. A few youngsters have left on loan, but Leon Bailey and Tammy Abraham remain at the club. Bailey could still leave on loan, as the Saudi Arabia deadline comes a few days later, but Abraham has refused to leave. Everton made a late move for Abraham, but he hadn’t changed his mind from what he told Villa a few days ago - he wants to stay put. While Arsenal have managed to bring in a number of elite talents this summer, Julian Alvarez is seemingly the one that got away. The Gunners have chased the 26-year-old striker for months, with no reward for their efforts. It remains to be seen whether Alvarez will be able to repair his relationship with fans of Atletico Madrid, but if not, Arsenal could choose to revisit their interest in the winter window. Less than 30 minutes remain of the summer transfer window. Any deals that have not been completed by then will rely on the submission of a deal sheet, but we'll get to that in a little while. The arrival of Iliman Ndiaye at Manchester City has tipped the total spending this summer to a staggering £3.2bn. That's a new record, and before deals for Enzo Fernandez and Lamine Camara have been finalised. Sensational stuff. Everton have secured the return of Jack Grealish after agreeing a season-long loan deal with Manchester City. The move marks a reunion for the player and club after a successful loan spell last year was prematurely ended through injury. Everton had kept tabs on the 30-year-old's availability through the summer and a push for him to come back was expected to come in the final days of the window. That has now been completed, with Grealish stating: "It feels so good. I'm so happy. I think I'm at my best at everything in life, not just football, when I feel loved. That's what the manager has given me, what my teammates have given me and especially what the fans have given me. "Every time I see an Everton fan, it's just pure love and the way they've welcomed me since that first game against Leeds, I'll never forget that. It means a lot to me and hopefully I've made a few Everton fans happy. "I had a perfect time here for the first six months, then I stayed around after I got injured. I’ve been watching all the Everton games in pre-season and since the season started. "Now I feel ready to go. I'm ready to start training tomorrow and prepare for the games." Multiple reports claim that Malick Fofana has given Sunderland the green-light to prepare paperwork for his arrival from Lyon. Kyril Louis-Dreyfus was reportedly in Lyon this evening, in a bid to convince the 21-year-old winger to join part of his project with the Black Cats. Crystal Palace attempted a late hijack of Fofana at around 11am this morning, with a long and drawn out saga ensuing. However, it appears Sunderland have now finally got their man. Less than an hour to go, and it seems like that's it for Forest. Not expecting anything else in the way of incomings or outgoings - unless there are any very, very late twists (which can never be completely ruled out at the City Ground). A quiet deadline day, then. It was always going to be about opportunities for Forest, and if they felt the right players were available at the right price. Wasn't a desperate need to get signings in. Arnaud Kalimuendo set to stay put - as Glasner had said was the intention - despite Eintracht Frankfurt reigniting interest in him. Joshua Zirkzee will be staying at Manchester United after a third route to an exit closed on him in the final hour of transfer deadline day. The Dutchman had come close to a return to Serie A with Fiorentina and Juventus in recent days, before Everton made an offer to take him on loan for the season in the final couple of hours of the window. But United will be keeping the 25-year-old as part of Michael Carrick's squad until at least January. Manchester United and Everton haggling over a mediocre footballer is nothing new. Back in 2013 United endured such a desperate transfer window that it ended with them scrambling around to sign Marouane Fellaini in a £27.5m deal. The signing was completed literally minutes before the deadline. Leaving United supporters seriously underwhelmed. With just over an hour to go of the 2026 summer window, the roles have been reversed. Because Everton are now attempting to sign Joshua Zirkzee from United. Zirkzee has been a huge disappointment since joining United. To such an extent that he became a figure of fun with some sections of supporters. Which begs the question - why are United dithering over allowing him to leave Old Trafford? Chelsea have struck a £47m deal with Monaco for Lamine Camara following the ultimate deadline day twist.Folarin Balogun's failed Everton medical opened the door for the Blues to reignite talks with their Ligue 1 counterparts, who needed to secure a big sale due to financial pressure.Xabi Alonso's side saw two bids rejected earlier in the day but are now on course to land the Senegal international on a six-year contract with a one-year option.Camara has been undergoing medical examinations overseas. The deal's completion remains subject to all formalities being concluded successfully and a Premier League deal sheet will likely be required due to the lateness of the agreement. Totenham Hotspur have secured Mykhailo Mudryk on a season-long loan from Chelsea. Speaking about the move, the forward said: "t's a great feeling. I can't wait to start training and playing for the Club, and I'm so excited to be reunited with Roberto De Zerbi. "I'm a player who brings speed and creativity, and I want to help in both the offensive and defensive areas. I want to make the fans excited. "I can see it's a strong squad here with good players, and I'm looking forward to sharing a pitch and special moments with them." Clubs across the Premier League have just one hour left to secure signings, with the transfer deadline landing at 11pm this evening. Stay tuned as Mirror Football bring you all of the latest news, right down to the wire... Manchester United are yet to make a decision on whether to sanction an exit for Joshua Zirkzee in the final 90 minutes of the transfer window - had an offer from Everton to take the Dutch forward on loan. United have no time to sign a replacement but Zirkzee has been an unused substitute in the first two Premier League games of the season. The return of Marcus Rashford has also strengthened the attacking options available to Michael Carrick. Zirkzee is aware he is going to struggle for minutes this season and it's understood he is keen on making the move to Merseyside, having seen temporary switches to Fiorentina and Juventus collapse in recent days. Alfonso Partidor claims that Jadon Sancho is set to join Palmeiras. The 26-year-old is set to arrive in Sao Paolo in the early hours of tomorrow morning. There, he will sign with the Brazilian club, having left Manchester United as a free agent this summer. A bizarre move for the winger, who is in the prime years of his career. Manchester United's attempts to find a left-back today included a call across town to check on the availability of Rayan Ait-Nouri at Manchester City. The 25-year-old has been an unused substitute in the Blues' first three games of this season. Any chance of a deal has now come to an end, but it does show how desperate the attempts to bring in a left-back have become. In many ways, it would have made sense, given Ait-Nouri has Premier League experience and is struggling for minutes at the Etihad. United have been focusing on short-term options in that position and have made a couple of enquiries on Alejandro Balde's situation at Barcelona, only to be told the Catalan club want a sale. Worth remembering United made it clear they wouldn't entertain another loan move to the Nou Camp for Marcus Rashford earlier this summer and relations between the two clubs were a little frosty.
