January transfer deadline day is here. Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have only today to finalise signings for their squads with 11pm GMT the official closing time for one of the most exciting windows ever. Jorginho, Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Pedro Porro are just some of the big names potentially on the move in the coming hours.
Mikel Arteta’s Gunners are desperate for a midfielder with a third bid for Caicedo expected amid Brighton’s staunch resistance to a late sale. Should that fail, Jorginho has emerged as a target along with Everton’s Amadou Onana. Chelsea could choose to sell the Italian to fund a British record, £115million deal for Fernandez after weeks of talks with Benfica.
Spurs may not be dealing with the same level of fees but they are about to announce Porro’s £39m arrival having made a breakthrough with Sporting late last night. Antonio Conte is now said to want a centre-back. Follow all the latest news, rumours and gossip on January transfer deadline day LIVE via Standard Sport’s blog below!

The Blues may well be happy to let the Italian leave however, in their own potential record-breaking move for Enzo Fernandez. Benfica are thought to be ready to accept a mammoth £115m transfer fee for the Argentine midfielder.
And Spurs have made a breakthrough in talks over Pedro Porro – and now want to sign a centre-back…
