Maybe he has just gone to bed like the rest of us want to. End of an era at Leicester. Fernandez"s Chelsea deal is complete - Romano Fabrizio Romano says Enzo Fernandez is done and dusted for ab English record fee of €125m. It’s all over! I suspect Jacob will be releasing a book in the coming weeks about the Enzo Fernandez saga. It has been a helluva month for the Argentina midfielder and every journalist working in it. Pay more than the release clause, that should sort it. Some good news for Southampton after they lost to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semi-final. Big move for Harry Souttar. The interesting thing about Matt Doherty’s move to Atletico Madrid is that he has only signed a deal until the end of the season. It is like he is off for a six-month work placement abroad. And what a place to do it. Andy Hunter points out how badly this window has been for Everton. As a follow up to the teased Crewe announcement … they have signed right-back Sean Robertson on loan from Forest Green. Nothing has happened at Everton. Farhad Moshiri said last week the club would bring in a striker before the window closed and they have been left empty handed. I suspect the fans are not pleased. Twitter is not always the best barometer but I have seen some early upset. There is still a deal to be announced at Crewe! Leicester sign Souttar from Stoke Leicester have completed the signing of Harry Souttar from Stoke. Here is a little tease from the club. Hakim Ziyech’s move to PSG looks in the balance. Nottingham Forest complete Navas deal Keylor Navas is a Nottingham Forest player, signing on loan from Paris Saint-Germain until the end of the season. The goalkeeper has been brought in following an injury to No 1 Dean Henderson. Navas, 36, has not made a league appearance this season but brings a wealth of experience with him having won three Champions League titles during his time with Real Madrid. Think you might have missed a deal? Check out every transfer in the top five European leagues. Pedro Porro is a Tottenham player. In the Netherlands, Patrick van Aanholt has left Galatasaray to join PSV. We need the drama! We are still waiting on confirmation of … Enzo Fernandez to Chelsea Marcel Sabitzer to Manchester United Keylor Navas to Nottingham Forest Southampton and some strikers Manchester United got their deal sheet in for Marcel Sabitzer before the 11pm deadline. Now they just need to complete the formalities. Shelvey completes Nottingham Forest move Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle. The midfielder has signed a contract until 2025 at the City Ground. Shelvey said: “It’s a pleasure to be here. As soon as I found out Forest were interested, it caught my eye straight away and I just couldn’t wait to get down here. It’s a fantastic football club that has so much history and I’m really looking forward to getting started. “My main goal straight away is to fight for my place in the team and stay there. It’s not going to be easy because there’s a lot of competition for places, but it’s a challenge I’m really looking forward to and the competitiveness can only help the team going forward. “I spoke to Eddie Howe and he had such good words to say about Steve Cooper. I previously knew of him from my time at Liverpool, so I knew what a fantastic coach he was, but meeting him for the first time has been a breath of fresh air. “He’s told me what he expects and the high standards he sets, so I can hope I can come and help the team push to stay in the Premier League. I’ve been in this league a long time, I know what it takes to stay up and what it takes to get a good team to gel, so I’m looking forward to getting started and working with the players that are here.” January transfer window closes The clock reaches 11pm GMT. But do not worry, there is still time to complete deals. More details on the Pedro Porro deal: the Spanish full-back has signed on a loan deal from Sporting Lisbon but there is an obligation to make it permanent in the summer. He will wear the No 23 shirt. “Do you think Graham Potter has had much say in Chelsea’s spendathon?” asks Burt Bosma. “Every manager wants good players to come in, but he gave the distinct impression that he’d prefer to work with what he had and get the team playing the way he wants over time rather than throwing extra big names into the mix in the hope of making things happen overnight.” I am not sure many managers have control over deals nowadays. They are all at a good age, which will please Potter. Pedro Porro completes move to Spurs Finally! The deal is done. Brian Rafferty emails: “Assuming the Fernandez deal completes, it truly is an excellent piece of business for Benfica, and a ludicrous one from Chelsea. It is good news for River Plate too, who stand to make £20m from the deal, and also ended up with Rondon on a free!” River Plate will be laughing. With 15 minutes to go until the closure of the window, it is worth pointing out that as long as a deal sheet has been sent in, then clubs have another two hours to complete the transfer. It sounds like Fernandez will be signing one of their big contracts until 2031. It is good work if you can get it. With the deal for Enzo Fernandez agreed by Chelsea, I think we should take a few minutes to commend Benfica for signing a player for €10m in the summer and selling him for €120m six months later. I suspect a few Sagres will be consumed by the scouting network tonight. Everton manager Sean Dyche has gone home but there is news from Goodison, via Sky Sports, that they were rejected by Olivier Giroud. So many failed attempts to find a striker that actually wanted to come this month. “I don’t want to sound like one of the lunatics in the comments sections,” says Graeme O’Neill, “but I’m baffled by Liverpool’s activity this window/for the past few windows. We’ve needed midfield reinforcements for literally years; Arsenal and United were able to get Done Deals for Jorginho and Sabitzer within hours. Meanwhile, we’re still sat outside Jude Bellingham’s house like Kirk van Houten convinced we’ll win his affections when we’ll have fuck all to offer him next season.” From my experience, clubs up for sale rarely do big business. Another new signing at Burnley. In other news … Newcastle are in the Carabao Cup final. Peter Oh emails about the Lokonga deal: “I’m perplexed by Crystal Palace’s use of a Golden Girls GIF to announce their latest loan signing. That seems like such a ... I don’t know ... Hodgson move!” All over my head. “Hi Will,” emails Alexandra Ashton. “It’s a very surprising one, terminating Doherty’s contract. I’d expected a loan: his contract had another year and half on it, I believe, and it feels like a bit of a waste to just let him go. ”I suppose considering Porro is coming in, we had a glut of right backs and no feasible route for Matt to get back in the team (Porro 1st choice, Emerson defensive option, Spence young prospect). Still odd in my eyes.” Spurs had to release him because they already have eight players over 21 out on loan and that is the limit, according to Fifa rules. Chelsea agree Fernandez deal Chelsea have an agreement in principle with Benfica to sign Enzo Fernandez. They now need to get the deal done before 11pm. Only an hour to go until the window shuts (in England). These are some of the stories from today Jorginho has joined Arsenal from Chelsea in a £12m deal Matt Doherty joins Atletico Madrid on a free Chelsea’s £115m move for Enzo Fernández is still a ‘work in progress’ Marcel Sabitzer has landed in Manchester to complete his United loan move Nottingham Forest bring in Felipe from Atletico Madrid Pedro Porro has signed his Spurs contract with an announcement immiment Southampton are working to seal moves for two new forwards, and Keylor Navas is heading to Forest Fulham have signed Sasa Lukic from Torino and are still looking at Brandon Williams and Cédric Soares I think we can accept Crystal Palace have signed Albert Sambi Lokonga on loan from Arsenal. Done deal: Matt Doherty joins Atletico Madrid It was not a deal that we were expecting at the start of the day but Spurs right-back Matt Doherty has departed for Spain to join Atletico Madrid after the Premier League club agreed to terminate his contract. Done Deal: Bournemouth sign Hamed Traorè Bournemouth make Hamed Traorè their sixth signing of the month. The midfielder joins from Sassuolo on an initial loan with the deal to be made permanent in the summer. Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake said: “Hamed is another exciting prospect and we are delighted to have secured his services. “He is young, ambitious and one of the hottest talents from Serie A. He fits the profile of the type of player we are looking to recruit and will significantly add to our creative resources. “After Bill Foley had completed his takeover of the club last month, he said he would be investing in the squad and has certainly done so. “Hamed’s arrival takes to six the number of new signings we have made this month and the squad is looking strong for the second half of the season.” Done deal: Forest bring in Brazilian Felipe Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of defender Felipe from Atletico Madrid on an 18-month deal The defender has only made four appearances for Atletico this season and becomes Forest’s 25th(?) signing of the season and third Brazilian of the winter window. Felipe said: “It was a dream of mine to play in the Premier League and I’m really excited to be part of this wonderful, fast-growing club. You can see it’s a club looking to really grow. It’s a big challenge for me and I made a clear decision to be part of the history here and grow with the club.” Andy Brassell is on Sky Sports News to finally make this ordeal worthwhile. What a lovely man. Do we all remember former Leeds midfielder Ronaldo Vieira? Well … the 24-year-old has just joined Torino from Sampdoria. Joao Cancelo on his relatively surprising move to Bayern Munich. Chelsea and Benfica are closing on an agreement regarding the structure of the deal for Enzo Fernandez. Jonjo Shelvey went on the pitch at half time of Newcastle v Southampton to say his goodbyes prior to his move to Nottingham Forest being confirmed. “Spurs have had a real quiet window, and they really need to find someone to shore up their defence other than Pedro Porro, preferably someone like Hakimi or Molina,” says Finn Mitchell. That might be optimistic, Finn. You never know … they might sell someone. Done deal: Naouirou Ahamada joins Crystal Palace Crystal Palace have signed midfielder Naouirou Ahamada from Stuttgart. The French midfielder have agreed a three-and-a-half year deal with the Premier League. “I’m very happy to have joined this club. It is an amazing club, and I’m very excited to get started,” Ahamada said. “I want to show my quality, and I want to help this team with my quality. I want to play games, work hard, train hard and progress, and help the team.” Almost a done deal for Manchester United and Marcel Sarbitzer, according to Fabrizio Romano. Could this be a shrewd bit of business? Less than two hours to go until the deadline in England SLAMS SHUT. Anything can happen in the next 120 minutes. “Who is signing the toddler - Chelsea or Forest?” asks Richard Hirst. “Or maybe this is who Everton have been holding on for.” Having seen her play, she is a bit more Forest than Chelsea. Another outgoing at Spurs. Harvey White heads to Derby on loan. Admir Pajic emails: “I really don’t get what Everton are up to. There are clubs which transfer policy is a mess and there is Everton. Their team has been poor and it’s even worse now that they have lost Anthony Gordon and signed no one (unless Andre Ayew pops out of nowhere). “Then again, given the quality of recruitment they have been doing in the last five years, maybe the best news for the Everton fans is they haven’t spent a dime from Gordon’s fee.” If Everton end the day without a new player, they face a bleak final few months of the campaign. Sean Dyche will have seen the flaws in the squad. Nottingham Forest look set to sign Felipe from Atletico Madrid after passing a medical. The Brazilian centre-back has played only four times this season, which is a theme for the club’s new signings. Jonjo Shelvey has not started in the league for Newcastle and Keylor Navas has not featured at all for PSG. It’s an interesting plan. Done deal: Bournemouth sign Illya Zabarnyi Bournemouth have signed Ukrainian centre-back Illya Zabarnyi from Dynamo Kyiv. The 20-year-olf has signed a five-and-a-half-year deal at Vitality Stadium. AFC Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake told the club website: “We are absolutely delighted to bring Illia to the club and he arrives with a burgeoning CV. “Despite only being 20, he has played at the highest level for club and country and has established himself as one of the most sought-after young defenders in the world. “We are very much looking forward to seeing him continue his development with us and know he will be a valued and important member of our squad.” Good evening! When they asked for someone to see this blog home, I was the only option. After all, I have sent two texts to agents today while looking after a toddler. I am primed for what will be a frenetic end.
