Manchester City sign Ndiaye from Everton
As the English Premier League's transfer window concludes on Deadline Day, clubs across the league reached significant agreements. Arsenal midfielder Ethan Nwaneri secured a season-long loan move to Borussia Dortmund, while Manchester City confirmed the signing of Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye for £60 million plus potential add-ons. Everton's attempt to sign Liverpool's Cody Gakpo fell through, leading them to pursue Ndiaye instead.
Other notable moves included Aston Villa's £47 million signing of PSG's Ibrahim Mbaye and Southampton's £29-30 million acquisition of defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Newcastle United completed a £51 million signing of Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo. Arsenal also finalized the departures of Gabriel Jesus to Barcelona and Fabio Vieira to Hamburg.
Crystal Palace signed honest Ahanor on loan from Atalanta, and Nick Woltemade moved to Juventus on a season-long loan from Newcastle United. Pape Matar Sarr joined Juventus from Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan with a potential £23.6 million purchase clause.
Several other loan and permanent transfers occurred throughout the Premier League and EFL. While clubs submitted deal sheets by 21:00 BST, late negotiations still remained possible. Manchester City and Chelsea were reportedly in advanced talks for Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez, while Tottenham remained linked with potential deals involving Mykhailo Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo.
Everton's pursuit of Folarin Balogun from Monaco faced medical complications. Crystal Palace and Sunderland expressed interest in Malick Fofana, and Atlético Madrid's Julian Alvarez remained a long-term target for Arsenal.
