For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.
Arsenal have finalised a season-long loan move for Ethan Nwaneri to join Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund on Deadline Day. The highly-rated midfielder heads to Germany in search of regular first-team minutes after finding opportunities limited at the Emirates Stadium. The deal does not include a permanent purchase option, meaning he will return to London next summer.
Manchester United are locked in advanced negotiations with Leicester City as they attempt to wrap up a deadline day deal for teenage sensation Louis Page. The Red Devils are determined to beat Premier League rivals Arsenal to the signature of a player widely considered one of the brightest prospects in English football.
Liverpool’s search for defensive reinforcements took a dramatic turn on deadline day as they launched a late move for Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto. The Reds were eager to bolster their backline under Andoni Iraola but found their efforts blocked by a fundamental disagreement over the deal's structure.
Gabriel Jesus has completed a stunning move to Barcelona, admitting that he accepted a major financial sacrifice to ensure the deal went through. The Brazilian forward leaves the Premier League behind to become the latest high-profile addition to Hansi Flick’s squad at the Camp Nou.
Arsenal have officially decided against a move for Lyon winger Malick Fofana, opening the door for a chaotic Deadline Day battle between Sunderland and Crystal Palace. Despite the Gunners exploring the conditions of a deal for the 21-year-old, the North London side opted not to meet the French club's valuation.
