Everton striker Beto has completed a £15 million move to Fiorentina, according to the supplied reporting. The transfer cleared the way for Everton to accelerate their pursuit of United States forward Folarin Balogun before the transfer deadline.

Beto’s departure reduced Everton’s senior striker options and became part of a wider attacking reshuffle involving Balogun, Richarlison and Iliman Ndiaye. Everton moved quickly after the Fiorentina transfer to secure an agreement with Monaco for Balogun.

Newcastle United and Juventus have reached a verbal agreement for Nick Woltemade to move to Turin on loan. The reported structure contains no purchase option, representing further progress after Juventus previously submitted an opening proposal for the Germany forward.

The agreement changes the structure from Juventus’ earlier loan bid that included a possible permanent purchase. Newcastle had indicated they would consider Woltemade’s departure only while remaining active in the market, with the deadline approaching quickly.

Chelsea have accepted Tottenham offers for winger Mykhailo Mudryk and defender Tosin Adarabioyo, with both players expected to leave subject to personal terms. Spurs want Mudryk on a season-long loan and Adarabioyo on a permanent transfer.

Mudryk would reunite with Roberto De Zerbi after becoming eligible to play again following his suspension. Adarabioyo is being brought in to replace Kevin Danso, whose departure to Sunderland became possible once Tottenham secured another centre-back.

Manchester City have announced the signing of Brazilian winger Allan Elias from Palmeiras after agreeing a deal worth about £32 million. His arrival adds another attacking option during a deadline period in which City are reshaping Enzo Maresca’s forward line.

City confirmed Allan while also agreeing a £65 million package for Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye. The club had lost Savinho and Omar Marmoush to Tottenham and saw an £80 million pursuit of Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo fail.

Sunderland have agreed a season-long loan for Tottenham defender Kevin Danso, with an option to make the move permanent. Spurs had rejected Sunderland’s initial proposal but reopened negotiations after securing a replacement for the Austria international.

Tottenham’s imminent permanent signing of Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo unlocked Danso’s departure. Spurs previously refused to release the 27-year-old without another defender arriving, while Danso had already asked to leave the club before the deadline.

Manchester City have agreed a deal worth up to £65 million for Everton winger Iliman Ndiaye. The package is £60 million plus £5 million in add-ons, and the Senegal international has permission to undergo a medical before completing the transfer.

City revived their pursuit after Liverpool rejected their Cody Gakpo bid. Tottenham had previously agreed terms with Everton for Ndiaye, but that route stalled as Richarlison failed to agree a return to Everton, allowing City to move ahead.

Kevin Kelsy has successfully completed his Rangers medical as the club works to finalise a potential $13 million transfer from Portland Timbers. The 22-year-old Venezuela striker had travelled to Europe with only medical checks and final details outstanding.

Kelsy’s medical represents a hard step forward from the earlier agreement stage. His expected arrival could also free Rangers to let Bojan Miovski leave, with Feyenoord enquiring about a possible move for the North Macedonia striker.

Como have agreed a season-long loan move for Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who was made available after mistakes in Chelsea’s opening Premier League match. The 28-year-old is expected to leave Stamford Bridge subject to completing the remaining formalities.

Chelsea have already replaced Sanchez by signing Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa for £7.5 million. Como also bought Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea earlier in the window, and Sanchez now appears set to become the latest move between the clubs.

Barcelona came from behind to beat Rayo Vallecano 5-2 and make it three La Liga wins from three. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha scored twice each as Barcelona moved above Real Madrid on goal difference at the top.

Sergio Camello put Rayo ahead before Raphinha and Yamal overturned the deficit within minutes. A Florian Lejeune own goal made it 3-1, Camello responded, then Raphinha and Yamal scored again to seal a high-scoring victory.

Ajax have agreed a season-long loan deal with Sunderland for Ivory Coast winger Simon Adingra. The 24-year-old is expected to move to Amsterdam as a left-wing reinforcement, although it remains unclear whether the agreement includes a purchase option.

Sunderland signed Adingra from Brighton for about £21.5 million in 2025 before loaning him to Monaco last winter. Ajax identified him as a successor to Mika Godts, and his current injury is expected to clear soon.
