10:40: The transfer deadline day saw a lot of activities but the bigger clubs were not busy when it comes to signing their summer transfer targets.
Manchester United have bagged an expensive talented youngster from Monaco. The transfer fee remained undisclosed. Chelsea also secured the services of a defender.
Arsenal have had the most disappointing summer transfer window in recent years. They could only sign one player in the form of Petr Cech. They failed to rope in any outfield players in this season. The other clubs have also done a fair amount of business. Now it will be interesting to see how these new players will fair in the rest of the season of the English Premier League.
That is all from me (Rajarshi Majumdar) and IBTimes India. Seeya people soon! Good night ladies and gentlemen!

10:15: What we have learnt from the David De Gea fiasco is that he will sign Real Madrid for free next summer. Till then he will have to get his focus back and play under Louis Van Gaal. The question remains whether he will be able to get back to his own colours soon?
10:15: 15 more minutes to go!
10:01: Half an hour for the summer transfer window to close its doors! Manchester United have signed one of the most expensive youngster from Monaco. No other big clubs have been able to make any business so far. Can Arsenal and Chelsea come up with dramatic signings in this half an hour?

6:04: Hi this is Rajarshi Majumdar and I will be bringing you the live coverage of the Transfer Deadline Day.
The Transfer Deadline Day is finally here and all the English Clubs are busty finalising their last bids for their targets. The summer transfer window will finally close at 6pm BST (10:30 pm IST) on Tuesday and before that the clubs will be desperate to land their favourite targets.
Few deals have already been finalised by several clubs since Monday. Manchester United seemed to have done most of the business yesterday as they have offloaded several players in the form of Adnan Januzaj (loan to Borussia Dortmund), Javier Hernandez (sold to Bayer Leverkusen), Tyler Blackett (loan to Celtic), Anders Lindegaard (free transfer to West Bromwich Albion).
David De Gea deal also came close to completion but the United claimed to have submitted their request five minutes prior to Spanish Transfer Deadline time but the deal could not be finalised and the fiasco over the talented goalkeeper continued.
