Manchester United have agreed a deal with Shanghai Shenhua to sign striker Odion Ighalo on a six-month loan, with an option to buy. United are now finalising the move to bring in the 30-year-old, who has Premier League experience at Watford between 2014-17. Ighalo is in pre-season training with Shenhua, but the new Chinese Super League season has been delayed due to the escalation of the coronavirus. A medical could be held in China, but United still face a race to complete a move before the 11pm deadline closes. Tottenham also made their own late attempt to secure a loan deal for Ighalo on Deadline Day. United earlier had a £20m bid for Bournemouth striker Joshua King rejected as the club target cover in the absence of the injured Marcus Rashford, but their pursuit of the Norway international appears to have ended. Inter Milan also wanted to sign Ighalo, when their pursuit of Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud failed, but the Nigerian had his heart set on a move back

Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Clube de Portugal. Bruno signs on a five-and-a-half year contract, with an option to extend for a further year. The 25-year-old Portuguese international has contributed 63 goals and 52 assists in 137 appearances for Sporting Clube de Portugal. He has made 19 senior appearances for his country and was part of the successful squad that won the UEFA Nations League in 2019.

Bruno Fernandes is pictured wearing Man Utd kits for the first time as he signs contract with the Red Devils at Manchester. The Portugal international has been at United's AON Training Complex on Thursday to undergo a medical and complete formalities. It's been a whirlwind 24 hours for the midfielder who was in Portugal on Wednesday trying to finalise an exit from Sporting Lisbon. Fernandes jumped on a flight to Manchester as soon as United and Sporting Lisbon had put the final touches to the transfer that will cost the Premier League club an initial £46.6m plus up to £21.2m in add-ons. He spent Wednesday night at The Lowry Hotel after landing in England. It's understood that the add-ons include a £4.2m payment to Sporting if United qualify for the Champions League, another £4.2m based on Fernandes' appearances for the club and a separate £12.6m if individual targets are met.

BREAKING: Arsenal sign Flamengo defender Pablo Mari on loan with option to buy as Arteta's first signing

The Portuguese midfielder has agreed to sign for the Premier League giants for a fee of 55 million euros plus add-ons. The name of Bruno Fernandes has been making the transfer headlines for some time, and reports in Portugal now confirm that he is in the process of signing for the much-linked Manchester United. The fee reportedly  agreed between the clubs is 55 million euros , although additional payments may be made depending on objectives being achieved. The add-ons could total €25 million, with 10 million of those suggested as being 'simple' to fulfil, and the other 15 million based on goal return.  This could mean a final transfer value of 80 million euros. Part of the reason that the negotiations have taken so long is due to Sporting's desire to hold onto the player until the end of the season. United and Fernandes, however, were keen to make the switch now, with the Red Devils desperate to squeeze into the Champions League places. With 13 goals a

I never expected to build such a meaningful relationship with the Club and the fans, but it has happened, and I am grateful every single day. “Our fans are unbelievable; I am so happy that I will continue to play for them a year longer. I feel their love and passi

Arsenal's deal for Flamengo defender Pablo Mari is in doubt with the player heading back to Brazil. Mari arrived in London on Saturday for his medical after Arsenal technical director Edu Gaspar had agreed a deal with Flamengo to sign him on loan with view to a £7.5m transfer. Edu had travelled with Mari on his flight to Heathrow and did not anticipate any problems. Arsenal sources say Mari, 26, a former Manchester City centre back, had his medical and was set to sign with friends even congratulating him on his move but a late hitch has seen negotiations stall at the final stage. A disappointed Mari is now heading back to Rio de Janeiro with Arsenal having to consider new targets.

Christian Eriksen has arrived in Milan with a private jet and will have his Inter medical today, completing a €20m transfer from Tottenham Hotspur. He was greeted at the airport by Inter team manager Mattia Tagliacarne and a crowd of journalists. The Danish international flew in from London after weeks of tense negotiations between the clubs. A deal was finally struck last week for a reported €20m, plus the solidarity payment to his youth clubs (circa €1m) and the income from a friendly match between Inter and Spurs. CEO Beppe Marotta had hoped to bring the price down significantly, seeing as he would be a free agent in July, but Tottenham refused to budge from their initial valuation. Eriksen is the third reinforcement for Inter from the Premier League in January after Ashley Young from Manchester United – who provided an assist for Lautaro Martinez on his Serie A debut against Cagliari – and Victor Moses via Chelsea. Antonio Conte’s side are currently second in t
