"For me, Courtois is one of the best," the former Man Utd captain told Sky Sports' Premier League launch show. "I absolutely love him.

Pep Guardiola said in an interview with us that Chelsea are going to do quite a lot of business in the next few days and obviously the market talks and agents talk. "Chelsea look like they are moving. They have been a little slow in the transfer market and a little bit less obvious in the transfer market over the last few years than they have been previously. It looks like they are making a move again." 18:22

"It is going to be very difficult to replace Courtois because for me he is in the top three to five 'keepers in the world. He has proven that over a number of years now.

Sky Sports News reporter Jamie Weir cuts through the froth to find out what's really going to be brewing on Transfer Deadline Day. 13:04
CHELSEA EYE UP COURTOIS REPLACEMENTS
Athletic Bilbao’s Kepa Arrizabalaga is a goalkeeper target for Chelsea, Sky Sports News understands. With the Blues resigned to losing Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid before the deadline after he missed training for a second day today, the club are focusing their attentions on securing his replacement. Stoke’s Jack Butland remains their first choice because of the nature of the deal, according to Sky sources, which is expected to cost them £30m if they can act quickly - but that price will rise the close to the deadline it becomes. Arrizabalaga would cost Chelsea much more, and a fee of around £70m would make him the most expensive goalkeeper in the world - eclipsing Alisson only weeks after the Brazilian joined Liverpool. Maurizio Sarri would also like to go for Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak, but his £89m release clause is a stumbling block. 13:01
TERRIERS WANT NEW WINGER
Huddersfield are interested in signing Montpellier winger Isaac Mbenza, according to Sky sources. 12:53
GUDJOHNSEN SON JOINS REAL
Eidur Gudjohnsen's son Andri Lucas Gudjohnsen has joined Real Madrid, the 16-year-old has revealed. Writing on Instagram after moving from Espanyol, he said: "Very excited and pleased to announce that I have signed with Real Madrid! Looking forward to the future." The move could provide some friction in the Gudjohnsen household - dad Eidur famously turned out for Barcelona after leaving Chelsea during his playing career. And should he play for his national team at any point, he will follow in the footsteps of both his father and grandfather. 12:42
MINA ABSENT FROM BARCA TRAINING
Everton and Manchester United target Yerry Mina missed Barcelona training this morning, reporter Vinny O'Connor has just confirmed to Sky Sports News. The Colombian defender, who scored three goals from centre-back at the World Cup, is being chased by both clubs - so his absence will increase speculation over his future even more. 12:37
CELTIC REJECT BOYATA BID
Brendan Rodgers has been speaking ahead of Celtic's game with AEK Athens tomorrow night (preview here), and confirmed Fulham have rejected a firm bid for Dredryk Boyata. Rodgers said the Bhoys had knocked back the bid because "it would be very difficult for us to replace him at this late stage". 12:24
LEVERKUSEN LOAN FOR THELIN
Bayer Leverkusen have signed Sweden forward Isaac Kiese Thelin on a season-long loan from Anderlecht. The 26-year-old, who was in Sweden's World Cup squad, spent last season on loan at Belgian side Waasland-Beveren. "He has developed excellently in the Belgian league," Leverkusen head coach Heiko Herrlich said on the club website. "Isaac is an additional option for us up front." 12:19
BURNLEY BACK IN J-ROD HUNT
Sky Sports News understands Burnley will make an improved £18m offer to West Brom for striker Jay Rodriguez later today. Sean Dyche is becoming increasingly frustrated by the situation and wants a new striker in before the deadline - it's thought Rodriguez is keen on a move back to the Premier League in his home town, but is prepared to stay and try to get Albion back into the top division if a deal can’t be done. 12:14
LEICESTER CLOSE TO DEFENDER
Leicester City have a broad agreement with Dinamo Zagreb for young defender Filip Benkovic, Sky Sports News understands, with the Croatian Under-21 international due to fly to England later today for further talks. The deal could cost Leicester more than £10m, but it’s understood Claude Puel considers him as a good prospect for the future, rather than someone who can go straight into the first team - and is not viewed as a Harry Maguire replacement. 12:09
SWANSEA WANT YEOVIL DEFENDER
Swansea are in talks over a potential deal to sign Yeovil’s Tom James, according to Sky sources. The defender’s deal to West Brom collapsed over personal terms last week, giving the Swans renewed hope. James is predominantly a right-back can cover anywhere across the back-four - making him an attractive possible squad member. He played in Yeovil's 1-0 defeat to Bury on Saturday - but was sent off. 12:07
WHO IS RYAN EDMONDSON?
He's just signed a new deal at Leeds United, but who is 17-year-old striker Ryan Edmondson? There's no test on this, but if he ends up as England's star striker remember where you heard his name first... https://twitter.com/LUFC/status/1026796377110654976 12:00

I will try to do my best for this club. “It is a new league for me, the beginning is always tough but I am sure the coach and my new team-mates will help me and I am looking forward to a great season.” https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1027482877389430784 09:12
KOVACIC COMPLETES CHELSEA LOAN
Mateo Kovacic has joined Chelsea from Real Madrid on a season-long loan deal. The 24-year-old Croatia international arrives as part of a deal which sealed Thibaut Courtois’ move to the European champions. Kovacic arrives at Stamford Bridge with a wealth of experience, having won La Liga and three Champions League titles at Real, as well as guiding Croatia to the World Cup final. 09:08
WHO'S THIS THEN?
The ex-Arsenal love is well underway for the Hammers. Lucas Perez has been papped on Jack Wilshere's Instagram story in the changing rooms at West Ham's training ground... announcement incoming? 09:06
FULHAM EYE ANGUISSA
Fulham hope to concude a Deadline Day deal for Marseille midfielder Andre Zambo Anguissa, according to Sky sources. The newly-promoted Premier League club have been after a new defensive midfielder and Anguissa was one of the highest statistical performers in his position in France last season. Fulham had been interested in Wolfsburg’s Josuha Guilavogui. 09:06
FRAMPTON TROLLS TOTTENHAM
Northern Irish boxer Carl Frampton has done a little trolling of Sky Sports News reporter Paul Gilmour. But will it be a knock-out punch for Spurs, or will they get one of their targets before 5pm? https://twitter.com/RealCFrampton/status/1027473819626291200 09:03
Fulham hope to conclude a Deadline Day deal for Marseille midfielder Andre Zambo Anguissa, according to Sky sources. 08:54
WATCH: TRANSFER CENTRE
The latest transfer news brought to you straight from Sky Sports News, with updates on Harry Maguire, Jerome Boateng, Toby Alderweireld and more! 08:49
BOATENG TRAINING WITH BAYERN
Jerome Boateng is training with his team-mates at Bayern Munich’s training camp in Rottach-Egern this morning. The Germany international did not play in last night’s friendly against FC Rottach-Egern and left before the full-time whistle - the game finished 20-2 to the Bundesliga champions. 08:49
HUDDERSFIELD UPDATE
The Terriers are still on the hunt for one more face, having enjoyed a busy summer after securing their second season in the Premier League in May. Reporter Tim Thornton told Sky Sports News: "Isaac Mbenza is the player in question, a winger from Montpellier. He scored 10 goals in the French first division and we revealed yesterday he was in talks, and we understand those talks are progressing well. Most of the money they received for Tom Ince we expected to be reinvested in Mbenza. It would be quite a significant deal for Huddersfield. "We also expect one out. Big German defender Michael Hefele, a popular figure here, he is in advanced talks with Nottingham Forest, and we expect that one to get done before the deadline today." 08:47
SAINTS SIGNINGS?
Jane Dougall has the latest from Southampton... "It looks like there's going to be more departures rather than arrivals. Fulham were very impressed by Matt Targett during his loan at Craven Cottage, but I'm told Southampton want to keep hold of him. “Watford have made an offer for James Ward-Prowse, but we understand that a loan deal would not interest Southampton. "If there are to be any players in, it is probable that they will look to strengthen their strike force. A player who has been linked in the past couple of days is Danny Welbeck, who may want to leave Arsenal because he faces a battle for a first-team place, but Welbeck's wages could may well be a major issue. "Liverpool's Danny Ings has again been linked with the club, but I'm told Southampton are not in for him." 08:43
BRIGHTON UPDATE
Sky Sports News reporter Roger Clarke has the latest on Brighton’s potential Deadline Day business... "Brighton have been active in this transfer window, but the indications are that they might still be in the market for a central defender. The one they've been linked with throughout the summer is Liam Moore at Reading, but they haven't quite matched the valuation, even with the player handing in a transfer request. "Brighton could turn their attention elsewhere, with Dan Burn at Wigan very much on their radar as well as Jack O'Connell at Sheffield United. Although they're happy with the business they've done, there might still be some more on deadline day. We'll hear from Chris Hughton around 1.30pm so he might fill us in with more details then." 08:42
OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW
Chelsea haven't taken long to replace Thibaut Courtois' image outside Stamford Bridge. But how quickly can you get a big picture of Kepa printed up?! 08:37
PHANTOM SPLASHER UPDATE
It looks like the guilt has got too much to bear for the Crystal Palace splasher, who gave Sky Sports News reporter Michael Bridge a soaking (see 9.24) as he drove into training in Ruislip this morning. Here's the latest from the prime suspect... https://twitter.com/pvanaanholt/status/1027469829060657152 08:32
KEPA PRICED AT £7.6M
Chelsea may have paid a world record fee for a goalkeeper in the form of Kepa Arrizabalaga, but you can sign him for your Sky Sports Fantasy Football team for just £7.6m, £0.4m less than David De Gea. Add him to your Sky Sports Fantasy Football team here 08:32
NO BUSINESS AT UNITED?
Jose Mourinho's press conference has kicked off with the Manchester United manager being quizzed about any further additions to his squad. The Portuguese had this to say... "The information I have is no. I’m not confident. The market closes today so there’s time at least for me to stop thinking about it. I will have to focus on the players I have in relation to the first three matches, because after Spurs there is an international break and I have a couple of weeks to recover people and prepare them better. I have to focus on the players that are available." 08:28
KEPA WANTS TO GO DOWN IN HISTORY
Kepa Arrizabalaga is targeting sustained success with Chelsea after moving to Stamford Bridge for a world-record fee for a goalkeeper. The 23-year-old joined from Athletic Bilbao for £72.1m Wednesday after Chelsea met his buyout clause. Kepa could make his debut in Saturday's Premier League clash at Huddersfield. Kepa told Chelsea's official app, The 5th Stand, on Thursday: "All clubs need to fight to win titles and what all players want is to win. So what I would like is to win more titles for the club. "This is what I aspire to do. I would like to be remembered at this club when I leave years down the line as a goalkeeper that has helped the club win a lot of titles and gone down in history in that way." 08:25
REPORTER GETS SPLASHED!
Michael Bridge is at Crystal Palace's training ground chasing the latest transfers but got a little too close to the action and was left with wet trousers. 08:24
MAGUIRE CATEGORICALLY NOT FOR SALE
Sky Sports News’ man in Leicester, Rob Dorsett, has this encouraging message for Foxes fans... “The potential arrival of two defenders at Leicester makes no difference to their stance on Harry Maguire, they do not want to sell him. “As far as they are concerned, he is categorically not for sale. He will not be going anywhere in this window. “That’s the message I’m getting from my sources close to the deal, but of course, there is a long while left in the window. How much are Manchester United prepared to bid?” 08:23
MADURO RETIRES
Former Ajax, Valencia and Sevilla midfielder Hedwiges Maduro has announced his retirement at the age of 33. Maduro, who won 18 caps for the Netherlands and played under new Arsenal head coach Unai Emery in Spain, was a free agent having departed Cypriot club Omonia Nicosia in the summer. He had offers to extend his career from clubs in the Eredivisie and elsewhere, but he now intends to take on a different role within the game. “I’m very excited about the future knowing what will come,” he said in a statement. “In very short notice I can tell you more about it, but football is not yet rid of me.” 08:22
FOREST TO SIGN HUDDERSFIELD MAN
Huddersfield defender Michael Hefele is in advanced talks to join Nottingham Forest on a permanent deal today, according to Sky sources. It is understood that fellow Championship side QPR had wanted him on a season-long loan. 08:21
SO... HOW DO YOU SAY KEPA?
Chelsea's Kepa shouldn't be the most difficult to say compared to soe of their signings down the years, but is it kee-pah, kep-per or something else? Cesar Azpilicueta, who has plenty to answer for in terms of difficult pronunciations, is here to help... https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1027457098148466688 08:14
CHELSEA OPEN THE EXIT DOOR
Kaveh Solhekol is live at Stamford Bridge for Sky Sports News and expects a number of outgoings from Chelsea on Deadline Day, with Kepa their latest likely incoming. He told Sky Sports News: "We are expecting Chelsea to let quite a few players go. AC Milan are in advanced talks to sign Tiemoue Bakayoko. We think that will be a loan deal. A lot of clubs are interested in signing Danny Drinkwater – West Ham, Leicester and Everton. "There’s also still a lot of interest in Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Crystal Palace would like to take him on loan again. Quite a few clubs want to take Kurt Zouma on loan and young defender Jay Dasilva looks like he will be moving to Bristol City." 08:12
COURTOIS: AN UNHAPPY ENDING
New Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois took to Facebook to post his thanks to Chelsea fans last night, but soon took down the message because of the reaction - an unhappy departure from Stamford Bridge, it seems. https://twitter.com/HLNinEngeland/status/1027291093908553729 08:10

BEHIND THE SCENES ON DEADLINE DAY
Just how does Deadline Day work when you're a Sky Sports News reporter sent to report from a Premier League club? Michael Bridge explains from Crystal Palace... 08:06
NEWCASTLE: WILL ASHLEY SPLASH THE CASH?
Newcastle United's difficult summer has been well-documented, and even the loan arrival of Salomon Rondon hasn't papered over that following Rafa Benitez's comments recently. Could things improve with a good end to the transfer window? Reporter Richard Gravestold Sky Sports News: "They’re light defensively, not least because they've lost Florian Lejeune for an extended period of time. In the short term, Rafa Benitiez needs to bolster his defence. One name linked overnight is the 22-year-old Brazilian defender from Barcelona Marlon Santos, possibly on a loan deal. "He will have to get a work permit sorted, which could be tricky. There's other options that need looking at as well, with Rafa Benitez saying he ideally wants a left back and a No 10 before the window ends, but time is of the essence and whether he can get the players in that he wants at the price that's acceptable to Newcastle remains to be seen." 08:05
More on Liverpool, where Danny Ings and Marko Grujic could be on their way out today. Simon Mignolet also has a chance of heading out. Vinny O'Connor told Sky Sports News: "We are expecting outgoings at Liverpool. Grujic could potentially be going back to Cardiff on loan and there may be interest from Napoli for Simon Mignolet, but that doesn’t need to be done today. Chirivella has been linked with Celtic, Markovic could be moving to the continent and Origi and Ojo could leave as well. "Danny Ings is expected to leave. He is looking for first-team football and Liverpool will let him leave. We understand there is interest from Crystal Palace, but there are a lot of reports of interest from Southampton. Our understanding is that there isn’t any interest at the moment and Southampton aren’t going in for him." 07:58
GRAYSON: BLACKPOOL JOB ‘VERY UNLIKELY’
Blackpool are looking for a new boss after Gary Bowyer left on Monday. It’s a club Simon Grayson knows very well as a former player and manager, and he was asked on Sky Sports News if he would be interested in a return. He replied: “Not in this moment in time. I had a two-year deal at Bradford that I turned down in the summer, to take time out from the game. “I’m enjoying the media stuff I’m doing at this moment, so I would say it’s very unlikely that I’ll be going to Blackpool.” 07:56
LIVERPOOL - FEKIR STILL A TARGET?
Vinny O'Connor told Sky Sports News where Liverpool sit in relation to the targets they've been chasing - Christian Pulisic and Nabil Fekir. He said: "Fekir and Pulisic are two of the names that have been mentioned, but I have to say in all honesty Liverpool aren’t about to go back in for Fekir. That’s the information we’re getting at the minute. "It also looks like there’s not a deal to be done to see Pulisic become a Liverpool player. However, we are used to seeing surprises sprung on Deadline Day." 07:56
Our reporter at Molineux, Kirsty Edwards, has provided this update on Premier League new-boys Wolves. She told Sky Sports News: “It’s been a pretty busy summer for Wolves, and we expect more business today. “Leander Dendoncker from Anderlecht is very much expected to sign here today and we’re expecting the move to go through barring any last-minute complications. “Another one in the pipeline is Oleksandr Zinchenko, this one has been rumbling on for a while and Manchester City are willing to let him go for £16m but the player is reluctant to leave the Premier League champions. “Wolves will try to persuade him today, and it seem he is surplus to requirements at City. It’s certainly one to keep an eye on.” 07:50

BOURNEMOUTH STILL ON HUNT
Bournemouth are still on the look-out for new signings, reporter Mark McAdam told Sky Sports News - but will Eddie Howe get his men? McAdam said: “Bournemouth smashed their transfer record with the signing of Jefferson Lerma, but what will the club do today? We know in the past Eddie Howe is no stranger when it comes to making deadline day signings. “The club are actively still looking to recruit, they are looking for a centre-back or a striker. As things stand, they are no closer to bringing anyone in, but they haven’t shut up shop as far as this transfer window is concerned. “One of the big questions though is who is going to be leaving the club? There’s speculation about Jack Simpson, and there are two or three clubs interested in central midfielder Harry Arter. As things stand, there’s been no significant movement.” 07:38
'CLUBS WILL BE KEEN ON ROSE'
Simon Grayson is surprised Tottenham could be willing to let Danny Rose leave and expects more interest in the full-back. 07:38
MAGUIRE OR BOATENG?
Now Yerry Mina is off the cards following his move to Everton (see 8.20), there's some new updates on their pursuit of Jerome Boateng and Toby Alderweireld. Sky Sports News understands the Manchester United board would prefer to sign Maguire, although Leicester have made clear he is not for sale - while Jose Mourinho would prefer Bayern Munich's Boateng. 07:37
CARDIFF CLOSE ON CAMARASA
Cardiff are working on a loan deal for Real Betis midfield Victor Camarasa, Sky Sports News understands. Camarasa can play all positions in midfield but is most effective at No 8 or No 10. The 24-year-old Spanaird did not feature in Betis recent friendly last Saturday. 07:32
SPOTTED: COOKIES
No sign of any players at the Emirates yet but Sky Sports News' Gail Davis had made a delicious signing of her own. We're not expecting this deal to last long... 07:29
Barcelona defender Yerry Mina is close to completing his move to Everton, according to Sky sources. The Colombian defender was a Manchester United target, if they could not reach an agreement over Harry Maguire, but now the Toffees have swooped to get their man. 07:20
WHAT’S HAPPENING AT WEST HAM?
Sky Sports News reporter Aidan Magee has provided this update on West Ham’s pursuit of Arsenal striker Lucas Perez, who is expected to complete his move to the London Stadium today. 07:16
BATSHUAYI TO LEAVE THE BRIDGE?
Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi wants to play for Valencia, reports Marca. Batshuayi has decided to leave Chelsea this summer and wants to move to Valencia, who are keen to sign him on loan. The 24-year-old Belgium international has also attracted interest from Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund, where he spent the second half of last season on loan. 07:15
STRAIGHT IN, STRAIGHT OUT...
Sky Sports News understands Daniel Arzani could already be on his way out of Manchester City, five minutes after he was announced by the club! Celtic will be the Australian's destination, we understand, on a long-term loan deal. 07:15
If you're trying to remember where you first heard of Daniel Arzani, the 19-year-old impressed off the bench for Australia in all three of their World Cup group games. And now he's continued Man City's recent forays down under - after they bought Aaron Mooy from the same club two years ago. 07:09

Stephen Warnock says Manchester United must give Paul Pogba a free role in midfield as he weighs up what defensive signings they might make. 06:50
DEMBELE STAYING PUT?
Reported Arsenal target Ousmane Dembele says he is staying at Barcelona this summer. The France international, who joined Barca in a big-money move from Borussia Dortmund last summer, had a mixed first season at the Camp Nou and has seen competition for places increase even further following the arrival of Malcom from Bordeaux. Dembele has been tipped to move away this summer, with Arsenal touted as a suitor, but he has revealed he intends to remain at the La Liga champions. Speaking during a live chat on Twitch, he said: “Yes, I'm going to stay - and I'm ready for the Spanish Super Cup match against Sevilla.” 06:45
ANOTHER ONE AT ARSENAL?
Gail Davis has provided this update on Arsenal’s potential Deadline Day business. She told Sky Sports News: “Arsenal have done the bulk of their business early. Unai Emery has said he wants to bring in at least one more player, and that is likely to be a defender. They’ve got Laurent Koscielny out injured until December, so they’re a little bit short there...” 06:40
BELLAMY: UNITED ARE DESPERATE
Speaking on last night’s episode of The Debate, Craig Bellamy criticised Manchester United’s fruitless search for defensive reinforcements. “They’ve got themselves into a position now where they are desperate. They need to get a centre-back in,” he said. “They seem every unsure of the players he has brought in before in Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof. He isn’t convinced by them. “I just don’t know. If I was an owner I’d be thinking you’ve had a lot of money for these players, you certainly don’t fancy them and now you want a lot of money for someone else. “I think Manchester United are a little bit desperate at this present moment which is not like Manchester United and certainly not like Mourinho.” 06:37

‘UNITED MUST STRENGTHEN’
Former Liverpool and Blackburn full-back Stephen Warnock says he expects Manchester United to have a busy transfer deadline day, with Jose Mourinho looking to bring in at least one new centre-back. Harry Maguire, Toby Alderweireld, Jerome Boateng and Yerry Mina have all been linked with moves to Old Trafford, and Warnock wouldn’t be surprised if more than one comes through the door in the next 10 hours. Warnock told Sky Sports News: “Maguire is not only a very good ball player, but he’s also a very good defender. He proved that during the World Cup. "It wouldn’t surprise me if they try to bring two of them in. They do need to get stronger, and I’m sure they’ll do that today.” 06:23
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR ROY?

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT MAN UTD?
Fraser Dainton is live at Manchester United's Carrington training ground for Sky Sports News, with expectations of moves for the club by the end of the window - or you can be sure Jose Mourinho won't be happy. He said: "There are three names in particular that have been mentioned consistently as Manchester United try to get a defender in. First of all, we heard a lot about Jerome Boateng yesterday, although we understand that would only be on a loan deal. "Another is Toby Alderweireld at Spurs, who has been consistently linked as well. Money is the stumbling block there. Harry Maguire is another player Manchester United are very interested in. We understand two bids have been made for the Leicester defender, the second for around £60m. "Money is available for Jose Mourinho to spend, but the club are not keen, we understand, to be spending over the odds for particular players. It could well be a game of cat and mouse now." 06:13
MORE ON SPURS RADAR?
It's not just Grealish who seems to be interesting Spurs though. Tottenham and Arsenal have both been reportedly looking to bring Norwegian midfielder Sander Berge to London, with the player's agent said to be in the capital finalising a move. The 20-year-old, who plays for Genk, made his Norway debut in 2017 and is in the mould of current Spurs midfielder Mousa Dembele - who could yet leave the club today. 06:09
SPURS LATEST
Sky Sports News' Paul Gilmour is live at Spurs' Enfield training ground with the latest on what they could be up to today - and there's a familiar name they are still in the market for. He said "The man near the top of Spurs’ list is Jack Grealish. Aston Villa have told Tottenham that he is not for sale, but we understand the player wants to go. "Add into the mix, Aston Villa have signed a similar type of player to Grealish in John McGinn from Hibernian. All of a sudden it means it has still got the potential to go through today. Certainly talks will continue over the next few hours or so." 06:06
A QUIET DAY FOR SOME...

Schalke are in talks with Tottenham over the loan signing of Danny Rose, according to Sky sources. Along with Schalke, Rose has been given permission to talk to other unnamed clubs over a season-long loan move. Earlier this month, Sky sources reported Tottenham would listen to offers for Rose, Toby Alderweireld and Mousa Dembele.

BIG NEWS FROM BURNLEY?
Burnley have been tweeting early this morning as the clock ticks down on Deadline Day - but it's ahead of their first overseas European game since 1967 at the Fatih Terim Stadium against Istanbul Basaksehir. The Clarets have already signed Matej Vydra from Derby and tied Ben Mee down to a new deal, so it could be a quiet Thursday for Sean Dyche.

COURTOIS AGREES REAL MOVE
Thibaut Courtois is getting his dream move to Real Madrid in a deal that will see Mateo Kovacic join Chelsea on loan for the season. The Belgium international only had a year left on his deal at Stamford Bridge and has been absent from training this week as he looked to push through before the transfer window ended. Courtois' move to Real Madrid is now only formalities away from completion. A statement from Chelsea read: "Chelsea and Real Madrid have tonight agreed terms for the permanent transfer of Thibaut Courtois subject to the agreement of personal terms and passing a medical. "Subject to the completion of the deal Mateo Kovacic will join the Blues on a season-long loan." 05:17
BIG MOVERS TODAY?
There's going to be some big money spent on Deadline Day this year, if the likes of Tottenham, Manchester United and others are going to get what they want - here's some of the biggest possible moves which are in the offing: Those are the big ones, but there's a whole host of other names in the mix - and, I'm sure, more to follow out of the ether.
Harry Maguire - Manchester United have retained an interest in the England defender for some while, and had a £60m bid turned down already. Leicester, however, remain determined that even a world-record bid will not be enough to tempt them to sell.
Jerome Boateng - if that one doesn't come off, Manchester United are also keen on Jerome Boateng, with Sky sources telling us the Germany defender would like to move to Old Trafford.
Danny Rose - Tottenham are in talks with Schalke over a possible loan move for the England left-back, with other clubs also expressing an interest in a temporary move.
Jack Grealish - Spurs have had a bid rejected for the Aston Villa midfielder, but sources have told Sky Sports he is "very disappointed" he is not allowed to move - having been promised he could leave at the start of the Transfer Window, before Villa's new owners took over.
05:16
CHELSEA SIGN KEPA
There’s only one place to start this morning and that’s with a look back at Chelsea’s historic capture of Kepa Arrizabalaga yesterday. The Blues broke the world transfer record for a goalkeeper, agreeing a £71.6m deal with Athletic Bilbao for the 23-year-old Spain international. The fee surpasses the previous record, which was set only last month when Liverpool paid £66m for Allison. Chelsea have put their faith in Kepa, handing him a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge through to 2025. 05:08
BRYAN EYES PREM OVER VILLA
More on that story involving Bristol City's Joe Bryan, whois having a medical at Fulham this morning, according to Sky sources. The Whites have agreed a deal with the Robins to sign the 24-year-old left-back - who looks like he could turn his back on Aston Villa, who agreed a fee for him yesterday. Bryan is understood to prefer a move to the Premier League. 05:05
Joe Bryan is having a medical at Fulham this morning, according to Sky sources. 04:53
SAGNA JOINS MONTREAL
It's not the big news we promised just yet, but former Arsenal and Man City defender Bacary Sagna has joined Montreal Impact until the end of the season. The Frenchman spent some of 2018 at Benevento, joining in February, but left the club at the end of the season before moving to the MLS. 04:49
