Goodnight All

It's 1am, and it's time for us to get some shut-eye. Another Deadline Day passes. We shall close this blog for the evening, for the month and for this transfer window. Thanks for reading!

Probably that was the last deal to happen in this transfer window

Nothing is happening. There are still a few deals in the ether, neither complete nor not complete. Who will be January’s Adrien Silva?

Crystal Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman admits the club missed out on moves for Bromby goalkeeper Fred Ronnow as well as Lille midfielder Ibrahim Amadou.

We've signed a #NorwegianNo9! 🇳🇴

Welcome to the PALACE, Alexander Sørloth.

He's joined on a four and a half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

There’s still a little bit more to come. It has been eventful, hasn’t it? Don’t go away.

West Ham have been accused of discrimination in their recruit process.

West Ham have issued a statement, saying: "West Ham United is an inclusive, respectful and diverse football club. Equality is at the heart of our ethos and values.

“We were recently given the opportunity to demonstrate the extent of our firm commitment to these values, which are embedded throughout the Club, with a view to achieving the intermediate level of the Premier League’s equality mark, recognised and supported by Kick it Out.

“We have worked extremely hard over the last 18 months across all areas of the Club and we are confident in our achievements. All West Ham United employees are required to go on equality, diversity and unconscious-bias training as part of our new mandatory training and workforce plan.

"We take any allegations of discrimination extremely seriously and are now in the process of ascertaining the full facts behind this accusation.”
