So, set your watches and join us again then. The deadline today for Premier League clubs and their peers in Spain is 11:00 p.m. BST. That's 6 p.m. Eastern time, while it is 4 hours earlier for teams in Germany, France, and Italy. So, we'll be wrapping up all of those deals in our SH second show later on today. Fitzio Romano joins us any moment now with the very latest transfer news. And Gim Sports senior football correspondent Ben Jacobs will be with us too as he feels calls from across the football world [laughter] hearing screen. I wasn't sure, Ben, if you'd be live on the phone right now, but glad to see your face today. A very, very busy day for us. >> Yeah, incredible. We'll get straight to Fitzio Romano. I can just tell you one bit of breaking news, though, that Aninsley Maitlin Niles is going to Everton from Leyon. My understanding is that the fee is 5 million euros. More on that to follow. But let's bring in the man himself because his time is at a premium. And I'll let you do the big introduction, Kate. >> Lovely stuff. Yeah, a man who in fact needs no introduction to market madness from Gimme Sports is for Britzio Romano. Fab, great to see you. How are things shaping up for you so far today? [laughter] >> It's crazy busy. It's crazy busy. Really, it's a it's a beautiful deadline day. Yeah, there's a lot of excitement. Many things can still happen. So, it's going to be a crazy day, I'm sure. >> Thank you for bringing so much beauty to us. We are going to just get straight into the questions, hit you within one after the other. I hope that's okay. The first one that everyone wants to know about is what is the latest with Enzo Fernandez and Manchester City. >> Yeah, on this one the possibility to see Enso till the final minutes of the deadline day is really really concrete and to have this answer story till the very end because Manchester City sent an official bid. So there is a bid on the table finally after three months of rumors, stories, possibilities. Now there is an official bid on the table. City are waiting for a green light from Chelsea. At the moment there is yet to be a green light from from Chelsea. So Fernandez is waiting. He's ready to undergo his medical any moment as a new Man City player. The contract is ready. So everything is set. But now depends on Chelsea. Chelsea have to give the green light in order for this deal to happen. And we can only wait because Chelsea are looking for midfielders around Europe for the best option possible to replace Fernandez. At the moment is waiting. His agents are waiting. City are waiting as well. So let's see what Chelsea decide to do. But I believe that this one is going to be a late one for sure. >> Okay. We will stick with you and and hear all of your updates as it goes. But you mentioned Chelsea then of course they're key in this deal. Does it all depend on Manakone then? >> I don't think it's only Manukon. I think there are plenty of options that Chelsea are considering. Manukon is a player they appreciate for sure. There were contests overnight with Roma to understand the situation but Roma answer was that the player is not considered for sale. Especially the coach Kasparini absolutely wants Manukon to stay and continue the club. In Italy there were reports of an advanced deal with Bano Gitens involved but I'm told that there is no swap deal. Nothing is happening in terms of advanced negotiations because Roma don't want to sell the player. So let's see if Chelsea decide to break the bank or something could happen in the final hours but at the moment it's gone cold and Roma absolutely want to keep Manukon. Then there is Lamar. Chelsea have sent an official bid to Monaco today for Lamin Kamar. It's 45 million euros rejected by Monaco. They want more but the official bid is a message to Monaco something like we are coming. We are at the table. So, he's an option for sure for Chelsea and the player is very keen on a move to Chelsea and then let's see if there could be some other profile from the Premier League being explored by Chelsea today. So, I'm sure they're looking at options and any moment could be the moment. >> So, let's just clarify for Britzio and I stress we are live at 12:20 UK because some people may watch this on YouTube and it's deadline day and things can change very quickly. Is there any scenario where if Chelsea don't get a replacement, you think they sanction Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City? >> Look, at this stage is not guaranteed at all. So, I can guarantee to you that as of now from Enzo Fernandez camp and people close to the player, they are still feeling the tension. So, they don't have any sort of guarantee about Chelsea giving the green light. Then they believe they will. They hope they will because it's deadline day because Eno is ready. Enso wants to go. the contract is already agreed. So they believe this is going to happen but they are not in the position to guarantee anything. So at this stage I'm not 100% sure that this deal is happening. I could say 90% could be but 100% at the moment no because we have to wait for Chelsea decision. So let's see what's going to happen. I can guarantee to you that Eno can't wait to go to Manchester City and so can't wait to be again with with Eno Mareska. So he's only waiting for a call but at the moment we can only wait. And do you think if it gets done it could be a British transfer record? >> I think it's going to be more than 120 million pounds. >> So stay tuned for that. Let's just talk about a few other deals. Ethan Waneri leaving Arsenal and exclusive that you break this morning. Give us the details. Yeah, it's a straight loan for Ethan Weri. Arsenal were still 50/50 about the opportunities to to let Ethan leave in this summer transfer window. They received so many approaches from Italy, from a similan in this case, also from Turkish clubs for example to buy the player, German clubs, English clubs. So plenty of options. Then they were still assessing all the opportunities in the in the last 24 hours and then the injury suffered by Constantius the new signing of Busha Dortmund changed their plans ahead of that line day and so Dortmund decided to make contact with the agents of one area last night. The player decided to open doors because he believes Dortmund is an ideal destination to grow and develop. There is going to be no buy option close or any obligation. The player is going to return to Arsenal in summer 27. I can tell you and Moner is very keen on this move and very excited because obviously we know how a Dortmund young players many times end up developing and growing a lot. So let's see what's going to happen on this one in terms of timing of the announcement but the miracle is already done and we can consider it an area future player. >> Okay, fantastic. Uh so we're coming up to half past 12 on deadline day. Tottenham Hotspur have been one of the stories of the window and they've taken a kind of shift in the last few hours it feels like. Fab what is the story about Mikail Mudri? Is he going to be a Tottenham player by the end of the day? >> Yes, Mikail Mudri will sign in two hours his contract at Tottenham. He did his medical in the morning so everything okay. Mud is going to be new winger for Tottenham and as you said a big change of plans because they wanted to sign Kodi Gakpo at the beginning but then for Gako Manit arrived and Liverpool decided to keep the player. So nothing is happening for the Dutch winger and then they considered the possibility of a swap deal with joining Tottenham and Richardson going to Everton but there was no agreement between Richardson and Everton on personal terms. So there were some complications and that's why Tottenham decided to go for the easiest option Mikail Modri. It's a loan deal with an option to buy close set at 75 million pounds. Tottenham will pay the salary of the player and there is also a loan fee involved in the deal and then on a separate negotiation also tossing from Chelsea to Tottenham is done. Deal is worth more than seven million pounds plus Edon. It's a permanent transfer and so Tottenham get two players from Chelsea. >> Okay to Adabay already done Modric done in two hours. We've got you. Um that's fantastic. Uh talk to me a little bit more about the Richardson situation then from a from an Everton perspective. Are you saying that's not happening? >> No. No. From what I'm told, this deal is not happening. At least at the moment. My understanding is that Richardson prefers to consider at the moment different kind of opportunities uh with maximum respect for Everton. He loves Everton, but the deal has to be right for everyone, not just for the clubs like in this case. And so at the moment there is no no agreement and also Everton already investing big money on following Balagon. That's another story of deadline day. Balaguna is today having a medical at Everton. The deal is agreed for more than 45 million euros from Monaco. So they got their new striker and I think for the deal has been completely freeze at this stage. So I don't see this happening. >> Let's talk for Britzio about two quite quiet clubs on deadline day. Manchester United haven't done anything in terms of an incoming in the left back position. Do you expect that to change? And Arsenal, do you think their window is over? I know they were offered mallet for fa but he's off to Sunderland for 35 million euros package. So Arsenal Manchester United any twists or window done? >> Now look for uh for Arsenal at this stage what I'm hearing is that they are still considering opportunities. So I would not say now that the window is closed for Arsenal as you said yesterday they considered Malik Fufana but my understanding is that Arsenal were never going to spend 40 or 35 million euros on the player for them was like an opportunity again. So maybe a loan or a loan with an obligation to buy under certain conditions. So was never going to be a permanent transfer for 35 or 40 million euros. And that's why then the player decided to accept Sunderland today. He's having a medical now. And so for Arsenal, if there is the right opportunity from now to the end, I think they are still active and looking at some chances in the final hours of the window. Otherwise, they're more than happy with the squad they have. So no panic, only in case there is a good opportunity. And for Man United, it's quite similar in terms of left back. If they can find the right player on the line day, they're more than happy to bring in a new left back. They were looking at left backs. Uh we know they've been looking on that for some time. They had conversations for example with George Mendes, the agent of Bald two weeks ago to try and understand if the deal was possible but was considered too expensive. So let's see if United find an opportunity as well. But for these two I will still keep things open till the very end. >> Just a bit of breaking news my Saints striker Cameron Archer is going to have a medical oxair. More on that one on the GMS website for back to the Premier League. whole city incredible window and a very fun deadline day as well. The owner promised five signings and he hasn't disappointed. What more can you tell us? >> The surprise of the morning is about a right back, an English right back because they're signing former Arsenal player now a genu who is on his way to have a medical at city. They anticipate Venetsia. Vetsia were very keen on the player. They were negotiating but then in the morning the deal got done and on a separate negotiation Cody Dram is leaving Hal City and going to Genua. Uh so these are two separate deals but for broke north of cafe it's going to be worth 14 million euros for kigram it's going to be worth €4.5 million e so everything agreed how city also sign a new right back and I don't think they're going to sign Darius from Chelsea at the end it was a possibility for a few weeks but this deal for what I told is no longer happen >> lovely stuff to me about Villa and Newcastle they still have signings to confirm they've had actually in the end particularly Villa a very very busy window where are they at >> yeah they finally confirmed deal for Ibrahim Mambay hardwood bellis as new center back. So I think they are almost done at Aston Villa. They made some calls over the weekend to understand a situation of Jagrilish maybe on a romantic return for Jagrish but then there was no possibility to make it happen because City wanted to do business with Everton after the Mandaya deal to send Jagrish alone to to Everton was part of the plan and also Gish very excited about this opportunity. He had his medical this morning at at Everton. So Gish to Villa is not happening and I think Villa are very happy with the business they decided to do this this window. Also for Yarmatson there was some interest from Manchester United looking left back but the player is not leaving. He's untouchable and so not going to be sold on on deadline day and for Newcastle I just wait for the official announcement from the club for Matias Fernandez Parardo but everything has been signed between the clubs in the morning. It's going to be a deal worth more than 60 million euros. Everything agreed yesterday with the player and so for Newcastle. So, I would say a difficult first part of the window, but a very good second part since the new coach Matias Chisler, right? >> Okay. And what everyone is screaming at me in the chat here, Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool, what what have we got from their perspective? M Ishmail, how long have we got to get this done? >> Look, I never say never in football because the market is absolutely unpredictable. But as of now, Liverpool are not predicting to to do any business today. So Liverpool yesterday were in conversations with Crystal Palace for Ismael Lasar. So they tried to understand if there was a way in the morning to reach an agreement with Crystal Palace but Palace absolutely don't want to sell the player. They turned down two bits from Gratasay and same with one official bid from Liverpool 50 million pounds 45 plus 5. So they don't want to sell the boy and uh Liverpool decided to keep God gap. So they consider Gakpo as a signing. Gakpo was very close but very close to joining Manchester City. And now to keep gakpo and heavy go Brad Libercola who joined in the recent days makes Liverpool management very happy and they are convinced the team is going to do very very well. >> Okay so in summary Liverpool are happy with their window fab. >> Yeah they are absolutely. >> Okay thank you so much for joining us. It has been fantastic to have you with us on deadline day on market manners with give me sport. Take care of yourself and have a great rest of the day. >> My pleasure. My pleasure. Ciao. See you soon. Chow chow. >> Chiao. Ciao. But you're sticking around with English for us. Uh, Ben Jacobs, although I will not let you get on your way until we get into an extended mailbag. What have you got for us on Market Madness from Gimme Sports? [music] >> All right, then. Just take us through it. It's deadline day. I just want to pick your brains and get through everything that you've learned over the last what hour and a half. >> Yeah. So, we've got a few done deals. Ibrahim and Bai has joined Aston Villa. The fee there is 55 million euros, but PSG are attributing at 60. Why? Because they trade the players. They get 1 million in solidarity that Aston Villa have agreed to pay and then 4 million guaranteed via a sellon if the player is transferred. So 60 million deal for PSG, 55 million euros for Aston Villa. And by has signed a five-year contract with a one-year option. Jack Greish formalizing his move to Everton. He only wanted Everton. This was an exclusive that I broke. No to Villa, no to Sunderland, and he's now got the move. And my understanding is that Everton will be paying about 90% of Greish's wages. Crystal Palace are going to be loaning Honest Anahor from technically Atlanta although Chelsea have confirmed the signing. So what's happened here is Axel Deassasi already on loan at Crystal Palace. So Chelsea decided that they were going to pre-agree the player and then Atlanta are doing a seasonl long loan to Crystal Palace instead. So Chelsea have confirmed the signing of the Italian international, but he will immediately go on loan from Atlanta to Crystal Palace. And that means that Axel Deassi can stay at Crystal Palace as well. And that's obviously just a nice little loophole around the fact that you can't loan two players from the same squad. And then Watford are now in advanced talks with Leicester for Stephie Midi. And my understanding, despite some suggestions, this is a loan, is it's a permanent move. and Watford are going to be busy on deadline day. It wouldn't surprise me if another name comes through the door as well. >> Okay. And and we've obviously been speaking, we've had our 10 minutes of discussion of all the major deals in the Premier League. Is there anything that you feel like we didn't cover with Fab that you'd like to bring to Gimme Sport viewers? >> Well, I think a very underrated signing is Newcastle and Mattz Fernandez Parardo. I know we've kind of briefly touched upon it, but don't rule out Newcastle United feeling really strong about this window, even though the narrative has all been about players that have left. This was a player that was on Liverpool's list. They didn't move. Newcastle needed three bids to get it over the line and finally were able to do so. And he is viewed as a very exciting talent and a coup as far as Newcastle United are concerned. Rexom are going to be busy as well on deadline day. It's worth mentioning them. Joe Warl exclusive story on GMS has joined from Burnley on a two-year contract 2 million pound fee and I can also see by the way Sora Thomas joining whole city between now and the end of the window there's almost an agreement in place there for7.5 million pounds the player didn't refuse to play tonight he was a model professional I am told and it looks like that deal could be closed between now and the end of the window we should touch upon Birmingham City, they might be busy. Liam Miller could leave for Hull City in these final hours of the window. And another breaking story from myself and GMS's Sam Cohen from earlier in the women's game. And this one is very exciting as well. Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign the Mexico captain Rebecca Berno from Washington Spirit. And the 29year-old has already now completed her medical this morning. So, lots going on in the market. >> Lovely stuff, Ben. And and before we wrap for this first part of deadline day from market matters, uh what is your view about how Chelsea and Spurs's uh interaction is going to play out for the rest of the day? Chelsea feeling somewhat chaotic in the last 24 hours, but the same could be said for Spurs. >> Yeah. So Tottenham are going to get Mudriick and Toen. We've already touched on that. Mudriick is a loaden, but as I revealed yesterday, 75 million pound option to buy toen 7 million,5 million in add-ons. Let's see what happens with Luca Bergal generally. Could that be a twist in the final hours of the window available potentially for60 million pounds and Tottenham's window in terms of incomings looking like it's going to be done? Kevin Danso is off to Sunderland. But Chelsea's big focus, can the
