EPL Transfer Deadline Day: Key Moves and Last-Minute Deals

As the mid-year transfer window closes at 11pm tonight, Friday 30 August, English Premier League (EPL) clubs are preparing for a final flurry of activity.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and others are expected to be busy in the remaining hours.

Arsenal may still make moves, eyeing a new forward, and potentially a goalkeeper if Aaron Ramsdale departs. Eddie Nketiah is likely to join Crystal Palace, while Reiss Nelson and Kieran Tierney could leave, but Tierney’s exit may be delayed due to injury.

Chelsea remains one of the busiest clubs, targeting new forwards including Ivan Toney. Outgoing players could include Kepa Arrizabalaga, Raheem Sterling, and Romelu Lukaku, who inches closer to a Napoli switch.

Other clubs like Manchester United and Newcastle are also active. United hope to finalise a deal for Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte, while Newcastle are chasing Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi.

Overall, this transfer window is less lavish compared to last year, with clubs mindful of the financial sustainability guidelines. As the clock ticks down, last-minute surprises could still unfold, reshaping the EPL landscape for the season ahead.
