Hull City strike £22m deal for Everton’s Tim Iroegbunam
Hull City have launched a bold late move in the window, agreeing a £22m package to sign Everton midfielder Tim Iroegbunam in a deal that underlines their intent before Tuesday night’s deadline.
The 23-year-old is set to leave Hill Dickinson Stadium for an initial £13m, with a further £9m tied up in performance-related add-ons. He has been granted permission to travel to East Yorkshire to undergo a medical as Hull race to complete what would be their 13th signing of a frantic summer.
Iroegbunam only joined Everton from Aston Villa in 2024 for £9m. Now, just a year on, the Merseyside club look ready to cash in as they reshape their squad in the final days of the window.
Hull are not finished. Talks are ongoing over a loan move for Chelsea midfielder Dario Essugo, with the club pushing to add more depth before the 23:00 BST cut-off on Tuesday. The mood around the Tigers is clear: load up now, and worry about the jigsaw later.
Man City close in on Ndiaye after Tottenham deal collapses
At the top end of the market, Manchester City have agreed a deal worth up to £65m for Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye, seizing on a late twist that derailed Tottenham’s move for the Senegal international.
City’s agreement is structured at £60m plus £5m in add-ons for the 26-year-old winger. It comes just days after Spurs had struck terms with Everton, with the London club expecting to send Richarlison back to his former side in a separate transfer.
That plan fell apart. Richarlison and Everton could not agree personal terms, despite the Toffees tabling an offer understood to be worth £35m for the Brazil forward. With no breakthrough, Tottenham were left unable to push ahead with the Ndiaye deal, opening the door for City to step in.
Now, a player who looked destined for north London is on the verge of joining Pep Guardiola’s squad instead, a classic late-window pivot that could reshape the title picture.
Clock ticking: how the window lines up
Premier League and EFL clubs have until 23:00 BST on Tuesday to get their business done. The window, which reopened for a second time this year on Monday, 15 June, must comply with Fifa rules limiting transfer periods to a maximum of 16 weeks per calendar year.
Last season, English clubs worked to a 19:00 deadline, moved earlier to align with the standard working day. This year, the finish returns to the traditional late-night 23:00 finale.
Across Europe, the squeeze is just as tight, but the timings differ. Spain, France and Italy also shut up shop on Tuesday, though earlier in the evening. In Germany’s Bundesliga, the window closes at 19:00 on Tuesday.
Scotland runs slightly longer: clubs north of the border have until 17:00 on Thursday, 3 September to conclude deals, the same cut-off that applies to the Women’s Super League.
Aznou heads back to Spain with Malaga loan
Everton have confirmed that left-back Adam Aznou has joined La Liga side Malaga on loan for the 2026-27 season.
The 20-year-old arrived at Goodison Park from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2025 but found opportunities scarce, making just two senior appearances last term – one in the FA Cup and one in the Carabao Cup.
This move marks a return to familiar territory for Aznou. A product of Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, he spent three years with the Catalan giants before switching to Munich in 2023. Now he goes back to Spain in search of regular football and momentum.
Hutchinson swaps Forest for AC Milan loan
AC Milan have moved to bolster their forward line by taking Omari Hutchinson on loan from Nottingham Forest until the end of the season.
The seven-time European champions hold an option to make the transfer permanent next summer, giving them a close look at a player who has struggled for rhythm at the City Ground.
Hutchinson joined Forest from Ipswich Town in a £37.5m deal 12 months ago, but his first season was turbulent. Across four different managers, he managed only 17 Premier League starts. Milan now offer a fresh stage, and potentially a permanent escape route, if he impresses at San Siro.
Man City replace Savio with £34m Palmeiras winger Allan
Manchester City have already moved to refresh their attacking options, confirming the signing of winger Allan Elias from Palmeiras in a deal worth up to £34.2m.
City will pay an initial £32m plus £2.2m in add-ons for the 22-year-old Brazilian, who has signed a five-year contract. He arrives as a direct replacement for compatriot Savio, who joined Tottenham Hotspur in a £75m move last week.
Allan comes with a solid body of work from Brazil’s top flight. After rising through the Palmeiras academy, he registered nine goals and 12 assists in 96 appearances in all competitions. Now he steps into one of the most demanding attacks in Europe, expected to adapt quickly to Guardiola’s high-tempo, high-control system.
Forest reunite Munoz with Glasner in £22m deal
Nottingham Forest’s rebuild continues with the £22m signing of Daniel Munoz from Crystal Palace, a move that reunites the Colombia right-back with Oliver Glasner.
Munoz and Glasner enjoyed success together at Palace, lifting both the FA Cup and the Europa Conference League. That shared history has clearly carried weight at the City Ground.
The 28-year-old has signed a three-year contract after two and a half years at Selhurst Park, where he scored 11 goals in 109 appearances – impressive numbers for a full-back. He follows the club-record £50m arrival of Liam Delap and could make his debut against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday.
Forest, once again, are gambling big on a reshaped squad to secure their top-flight future.
Deadline day on air
For those tracking every twist of the window, coverage stretches well beyond the live text updates.
BBC Radio 5 Live will provide transfer deadline day updates during Around-the-Grounds coverage of Tuesday’s EFL fixtures from 20:00 BST, with Aaron Paul at the helm. Local BBC Radio stations will also carry live coverage, all available via BBC Sounds and smart speakers.
The day started with a simple greeting: good morning, deadline day is here. By 23:00 BST, some clubs will feel transformed. Others will be left wondering whether the deal they didn’t do will define their season.
