2021 WINTER TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY

And that's that boys and girls. We're done, dusted and that's the end of the winter window, well in certain parts, my transfer hungry friends.

02 Feb, 05:44

RECAP OF JANUARY 2021 TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY

The transfer deadline day is over, barring a few moves, so here is a quick recap.

1) Liverpool signed two center backs; Ozan Kabak from Schalke on loan with an option to buy and Ben Davies from Preston North End on a permanent move. Also, they revealed that Joel Matip will miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury..

2) Arsenal let Joe Willock, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Shkodran Mustafi leave the club to Newcastle United, West Bromwich Albion and Schalke 04 respectively. While both Willock and Maitland-Niles are loan moves, Mustafi's move is a permanent one with the German's contract with the Gunners terminated by mutual consent before he left.

3) Fulham signed Josh Maja on loan.

4) Brighton signed Moises Caicedo from Independiente del Valle on a permanent move.

5) Josh King is set to sign for Everton on loan, with Shane Long signing for Bournemouth. (still waiting on both these moves to be confirmed)

6) Barcelona's Jean Clair-Todibo signed for OGC Nice on loan with an option to make it permanent.

7) Atalanta signed Viktor Kovalenko from Shakhtar on a permanent move.

8) Sami Khedira signed for Hertha Berlin on a two and a half-year contract.

9) DeAndre Yedlin terminated his contract with Newcastle United and signed for Galatasaray.

10) Felt weird ending on nine, so added an extra one for kicks. Still waiting for that King announcement and they're making us wait quite a while.

Harry Redknapp asking Jose Mourinho to give Dele Alli a knock on his head because "he's (Mourinho) the guv'nor" has absolutely made my night.  Even more than those hilarious, but terrible, looking Star Wars Kinect videos that keep popping up on my Twitter feed.

Although at 05:30am in the morning (IST), we've gone well past the limits that you can define night-time. Just waiting for Everton, Southampton and a few other deals to go through before I say goodbye.

02 Feb, 02:49

EVERTON AGREE ANTHONY GORDON LOAN TO PRESTON

More from The Athletic, as they have revealed that Everton and Preston North End have come to an agreement over a loan deal for youngster Anthony Gordon. The highly-rated 19-year-old has made only seven first appearances for the Toffees this season but the move is taking place to open up space for Josh King.

That is alongside the Cenk Tosun deal with the forward signing for Besiktas earlier today on loan.

02 Feb, 02:45

SOUTHAMPTON EYEING 11TH HOUR TAKUMI MINAMINO MOVE

The Athletic have reported that Southampton are looking into an 11th hour move for Liverpool forward Takumi Minamino. The 26-year-old has made only six Premier League appearances for the Reds so far this season and the Athletic's David Ornstein believes the move is on the cards.

02 Feb, 02:42

T-MINUS TWO HOURS: TIME FOR A RECAP

Well, two hours, or thereabouts, are left in the 2021 winter transfer window and it has been like no other window so far. So, here's a recap.

1) Liverpool have signed Ben Davies from Preston North End and they're closing in on a move for Schalke's Ozan Kabak.

2) That could see Shkodran Mustafi leave for the Bundesliga side as a potential replacement and he isn't the only Arsenal outgoing.

2.1) The Gunners are also letting Joe Willock sign for Newcastle, Ainsley Maitland-Niles sign for West Bromwich Albion and Zech Medley sign for Kilmarnock. All three deals are loan moves with no obligation or option to buy.

3) Brighton have signed midfielder Moises Caicedo from Independiente del Valle.

4) Atalanta have signed Shakhtar midfielder Viktor Kovalenko on a permanent move.

5) Josh King is potentially on his way to either Fulham or Everton. Read two entries below for more details on that.

6) Sami Khedira has signed for Hertha BSC on a permanent contract with Hertha until 2023.

7) Anthony Modeste has signed for Saint-Etienne.

8) Dele Alli to Paris Saint-Germain is off.

9) Bryan Reynolds has signed for AS Roma.

10) Patrick Cutrone has signed for Valencia, on loan for the remainder of the season, from Wolves.

MORE ON THE JOSH KING FRONT...

The Guardian are reporting that Bournemouth have accepted deals from Fulham and Everton for Josh King with the ball literally in his court now. The Cherries were stubborn not to lose the Norweigan after a £25 million bid from Manchester United last year, and then a £13 million bid from West Ham over the summer window. But contract issues, and the fact that he has six months left, have seen the club change their mind.
