Transfer deadline day LIVE: Latest updates and done deals

Barcelona have investigated whether Ousmane Dembele could go to Arsenal as part of a deal to send Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang the other way.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants the 32-year-old out of his squad and Barcelona are one of the few possible options interested, but they need to clear up space on their wage bill.

The Catalan club may struggle to afford the Gabon international’s wages otherwise and a deal could hinge on Dembele leaving on deadline day.

Latest from The Independent’s Miguel Delaney:

Arsenal are unlikely to sign a replacement striker for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should the 32-year-old’s loan move to Barcelona go through today.

Aubameyang has arrived in Barcelona as he looks to complete a move to the LaLiga side until the end of the season.

The striker had been frozen out by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta after he was stripped of the captaincy following a disciplinary breach and it leaves Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah as the only remaining strikers at the club.

Arsenal have been linked with various strikers throughout the window, including Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins. Dusan Vlahovic was another target before his move to Juventus.

Bournemouth have approached Liverpool over potentially singing centre-back Nat Phillips and full-back Neco Williams on loan until the end of the season.

According to several reports, Liverpool would be open to letting Phillips leave on loan if there are no suitors for a £15 million permanent transfer.

Bournemouth are third in the Championship as they look to secure promotion back to the Premier League.

Manchester City are set to announce the signing of Argentina striker Julian Alvarez from River Plate.

The Premier League leaders have agreed terms with River for the 22-year-old, who scored 18 goals as the club won the league last season.

Alvarez is expected to return to Argentina on loan once the deal is completed.

Juventus are trying to arrange a deal for Aaron Ramsey to leave the club, and the Wales international is attracting interest from the Premier League.

It has emerged, however, that Scottish champions Rangers are leading the race for the 31-year-old, who has fallen out of favour at the Serie A side.

Fabrizio Romano has reported that Rangers have made a loan offer with option to buy, with Ramsey set to make a decision.

Meanwhile, the Athletic’s David Ornstein is reporting that Ramsey will chose between Rangers and two rival offers from the Premier League.

Meanwhile, footage on social media appears to show Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang arriving at Barcelona airport ahead of his loan move from Arsenal.

Tottenham forward Bryan Gil has arrived in Valencia ahead of his loan move to the LaLiga club.

Gil, 20, has yet to start Premier League for Tottenham following his transfer from Sevilla last summer.

The Spain international will join Valencia until the end of the season and it has been reported that his deal does not include an option to buy.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is expected to complete a deadline day move to Barcelona but the striker’s exit from Arsenal could depend on other deals at the Nou Camp.

Barcelona want Ousmane Dembele to leave the club, with Paris Saint-Germain agreeing personal terms with the France international winger. However, Barcelona are also holding out for a £20 million fee, which is delaying the transfer.

Aubameyang is unlikely to join Barcelona unless Dembele moves on given the financial difficulties at the club. Elsewhere at Arsenal, Eddie Nketiah is expected to stay and enter the final six months of his contract despite interest from Crystal Palace and Newcastle.

Incomings are unlikely, however, with Arsenal running out of time in their pursuit of Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad.

Burnley have signed Wout Weghorst from Wolfsburg for a reported fee of £12 million.

The Netherlands international replaces Chris Wood at Turf Moor and will wear the number 9 shirt.

At 6’6”, Weghorst will fit in with Sean Dyche’s team as Burnley look to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

The 29-year-old has signed a three-and-a-half year deal with Burnley and will join training this week ahead of next weekend’s match against Watford.
