Transfer information LIVE! Deadline day executed offers and response as Tel and Gonzalez transfer and Chelsea axe 4

Arteta’s Arsenal ‘wanted to hurt’ Man City in 5-1 rout

Transfer deadline day has come to an end as Premier League clubs faced a frantic few hours to complete last-minute January deals before the window slammed shut at 11pm.

Mathys Tel provided a huge deadline day twist as he reversed his decision not to join Tottenham. Spurs agreed a £50.2m permanent deal for 19-year-old Tel last week but the player didn’t want to join the north London club, with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea fc and Manchester United – who were on the hunt for a new forward after Marcus Rashford joined Aston Villa on loan but ultimately stood pat for financial reasons – also interested.

However, a long chat with Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou caused Tel to U-turn today and he joined the club for the second half of the season, while the deal includes the option to make the transfer permanent in the summer.

Elsewhere, Manchester City’s flaws were exposed by Arsenal in a 5-1 defeat over the weekend and Pep Guardiola’s side signed defensive midfielder Nico Gonzalez from Porto for £49m as a long-overdue Rodri replacement.

Aston Villa signed three-time Champions League winner Marco Asensio on loan from PSG until the end of the season and Villa were also set to confirm the loan signing of Chelsea centre-back Axel Disasi late on Monday evening. There was plenty of other transfer news involving the Blues as Joao Felix was set to exit Stamford Bridge for AC Milan after Ben Chilwell did exactly that to Crystal Palace and Carney Chukwuemeka headed for Borussia Dortmund.

Relive all the deadline day action in our live blog below:

Outstanding deals still to be confirmed

Right, that should just about wrap things up for our deadline day live blog.

There are just a couple of deals left to be confirmed that you can look out for when you get up in the morning.

Joao Felix should be heading to AC Milan on loan from Chelsea and Axel Disasi may also be temporarily leaving Stamford Bridge for Aston Villa. The clubs had until 1am to get those moves confirmed, provided they submitted the deal sheet before 11pm to be granted the extension.

Oh, and Fulham may re-sign 36-year-old Willian on Tuesday after he was released by Olympiakos at the end of December. What a time to be alive…

Thanks for joining us – catch you on the flip side.

DONE DEAL! Everton get Carlos Alcaraz deal over the line

The deal sheet worked! Everton used the extra time to ensure the move for Carlos Alcaraz (not the tennis one…) got over the line.

The Argentine midfielder heads to Goodison Park on loan from Brazilian side Flamengo for the rest of the 2024/25 campaign, with an option to buy at the end of the season.

The 22-year-old spent two seasons at Southampton before joining Juventus on loan last term and then signing for Flamengo in August.

“I am very happy to join Everton, such a great club, with a very good fanbase,” said Alcaraz. “I am ready for any challenge with this beautiful club so that’s why I came and accepted the offer to keep fighting for my dreams. I want to tell the fans that whenever I wear this shirt, I will give my best, I will give everything I have to take Everton to the top, which is where they deserve to be.”

DONE DEAL! Gavin Bazunu leaves Southampton

Southampton goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu has joined Belgian side Standard Liege on loan.

The 22-year-old Ireland international hasn’t featured this season after making 41 appearances in the Saints’ promotion campaign to the Premier League.

That is largely because he has spent nine months on the sidelines with an Achilles injury and will now join Liege until the end of the season
