🤑 Transfer gossip: Deadline Day special! | OneFootball

Well done everyone – we made it!

That’s right, it’s Deadline Day and it looks like being another frantic finish to this silliest of seasons.

Let’s have a look at the gossip, shall we?

Real Talk 👏

It is officially ‘all go’ at Chelsea with the Blues looking to sell Olivier Giroud and sign a replacement before the deadline. Lazio want the chisel-jawed Frenchman and the Telegraph say that Dries Mertens could be his successor in the Blues forward line.

Frank Lampard’s side aren’t the only ones looking for a new forward; Manchester United are on the hunt for a goalscorer following Marcus Rashford’s injury and are scouting around Europe for the right man. Willian Jose, Salomon Rondon (lol) and Joshua King have all been linked.

We’ve got 16 more hours of this folks!

Cedric Soares looks like he may be failing upwards this window with Arsenal hoping to complete a loan move for the Southampton full-back before the 11pm deadline.

Poor old Edinson Cavani. The Uruguay international has been angling for a move all month long, but it was confirmed overnight that the Paris Saint-Germain striker will remain in the City of Lights until the end of the season after Thomas Tuchel refused to let him leave for Atlético Madrid.

Fake News 😡

Jarrod Bowen has been the name on every mid-level Premier League clubs’ lips this window but it seems like the Hull winger will finally get his move today. West Ham and Crystal Palace are the sides at the front of the queue but he will cost in the region of €20m.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been key to the Southampton renaissance post-Christmas and as such will not be allowed to leave the club today. Tottenham were supposedly interested in his services but the Denmark will remain on the south coast until at least the end of the season.

Fantasy Football 💫

In the biggest ‘WTF?!’ deal of the day Wigan left-back Antonee Robinson looks set to join Milan with the Rossoneri having allowed Ricardo Rodriguez to leave for PSV.

What you missed yesterday 👇

An absolute shed-load. Piatek went to Hertha, Bruno Fernandes joined Manchester United, Paco Alcacer got his switch to Villarreal and Sander Berge became Sheffield United’s club-record transfer.

Total spend this month: €863.64m
