As the Mill goes to press there are fewer than 14 hours until the transfer window screeches shut. It remains unclear if the rolling news presenters have even been to sleep, given the Overwhelming Importance of the Next Few Hours.
The spectre of Everton’s 10-point penalty has deflated the Premier League transfer market to a large degree, but there is still a bit of time for some excitement.

Howe wants Ramsey on loan with an option to buy: the 22-year-old has also been linked with Tottenham. But then again, who hasn’t? A rumoured outgoing move – Wilson to Chelsea on loan – is off the menu after an injury to his fellow forward, Alexander Isak.
