‘I hope Ronaldo stays’: United’s Casemiro urges friend to remain at Old Trafford
The transfer window has closed, although several Premier League clubs are still hurrying to complete last-minute deals following the 11pm deadline tonight. Chelsea have been the biggest spenders of the summer but their business isn’t done yet. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to become their latest arrival with the former Arsenal captain joining after just six months at Barcelona on what is expected to be a two-year deal. There are also talks with midfielder Denis Zakaria, who is close to signing on loan from Juventus.
Liverpool have signed Arthur on loan from Juventus to ease their midfield injury problems but Arsenal‘s late chase of Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz has ended in disappointment. Arsenal saw three bids rejected, the last around £25m, with Aston Villa holding out for £40m for a player out of contract next summer.
Earlier, Manchester United completed the signing of Antony from Ajax for €100m in the biggest deal of transfer deadline day so far. The Brazilian international has put pen to paper on a contract at Old Trafford that runs until 2027, and he has been followed by goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, who has joined on a season-long loan from Newcastle.
Elsewhere, Manuel Akanji has completed his move to Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund on a five-year deal while Leicester have made their first outfield signing of the window as they announced the arrival of Belgium international Wout Faes from Reims. He replaces Wesley Fofana, who joined Chelsea for £70m on Wednesday.
Follow all the latest twists and turns on transfer deadline day below.

Manchester United seal Antony and Martin Dubravka deals on deadline day
Manchester United were the biggest movers on transfer deadline day having completed the signing of Brazil winger Antony from Ajax for an initial fee of 95 million euros (£82.1m).
A deal was already in place between the two clubs, with United agreeing to a potential five million euros (£4.3m) in add-ons, making Antony the fourth most expensive signing in Premier League history.
He has put pen to paper on a contract that runs until 2027, with the option of an additional year, and follows Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen and Casemiro through the door this summer.
“This is an incredible moment in my career to be joining one of the most iconic clubs in the world,” the 22-year-old said on United’s official website.
