09:20 Tweet of the day right here. Click on the picture to see why.

09:11 It. Does. Not. Stop.

09:01 🚨BIG BREAKING NEWS … David Luiz to Arsenal is done!

09:00 In case you missed this, there was a very interesting tidbit on Adam Crafton’s Lukaku piece in The Athletic. It seems the Belgian’s once rock-solid friendship with Pogba is crumbling into the sea. Crofton writes:

Lukaku has since ruptured relations with Raiola while there is also truth in reports of a drastic deterioration in his relationship with Pogba. The pair exchanged words last season and Lukaku is also baffled by the way Pogba’s pre-season hints at a transfer have been indulged by Solskjaer. By contrast, Lukaku believes his own professionalism has only cost him precious time in pre-season training with a new club.

08: 53 It is time to remember the old Jim White …

08:51 See that guy in the picture above? You might soon be seeing him in a Tottenham Manchester United jersey, say the Daily Record.

08:34 Dan Burke has written about 10 deals that could go through on Deadline Day so you don’t have to. Isn’t that sweet of him? You can read his thoughts here.

08:02 The first big piece of news of the day has already landed! According to various sources, Tottenham have agreed a £25m to sign Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon. The deal will also see Josh Onomah moving in the opposite direction to Craven Cottage.

08:00 Good morning and welcome to what will hopefully be a fascinating transfer deadline day. As is tradition, we’ll kick things off with this sage piece of advice …
