Deadline day
Thank you for joining us across the whole day on this live text service covering the 2026 summer transfer deadline day.
We have lost count of how many signings have happened across the EFL but we are sure it's been a lot!
Don't forget you can track all of the deals here.
Deadline day
Let's take a look at a selection of the major moves on another packed transfer deadline day.
Here's every done deal so far.
Deadline day
Leyton Orient
Leyton Orient have made it a double swoop with the signing of forward Dane Scarlett from Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed fee.
The 22-year-old has made the permanent move away from Spurs following four previous loan spells at clubs including Portsmouth and Oxford United.
Barnsley rejected 'seven-figure bids'
Get Involved
A contract is a contract, Reyes Cleary - you signed and agreed to it. Deal with it.
The Stig, Barnsley
Any update on potential Charlton late deals?
John, Edmonton
There certainly is, John - as we mentioned a few minutes ago, the only remaining team with a perfect record in the Championship have made Oliver Skipp one of the latest signings of the day.
As for Barnsley, they've released a statement saying their approach to the window has been "defined" by what they "chose not to do", including rejecting "multiple seven-figure bids" for Cleary.
You can also read BBC Radio Sheffield's update on that situation from earlier this evening.
Get Involved
I fear the worst for Stoke now that Thomas has left. Our problem for years has been we don't know where the next goal is coming from. Thomas helped alleviate those fears a little last season. But now? We're in deep trouble.
Last Orders First, Northants
No player is bigger than the club. ST felt like he was a one-season wonder in the championship. Hull have signed an average winger.
Button the dog, North Lancashire
Deadline day
Leyton Orient
Leyton Orient - fresh off a 5-0 thumping of Bromley - have signed a new goalkeeper from Coventry City.
Oliver Dovin has signed on a season-long loan after Nathan Baxter picked up an injury in the win over Wigan Athletic.
Deadline day
Rob Staton
BBC Radio Sheffield
Per sources, I believe it’s virtually a done deal for Davis Keillor-Dunn to go to Sheffield Wednesday. He will be in for the Owls.
Keillor-Dunn, who shone in the first half of last season for Barnsley - scoring 16 goals in total, will hope to kick-start his career back in Yorkshire after failing to find the net during his seven-month spell back in Wales.

That window sums up the Cardiff board perfectly. Negligent and a bunch of amateurs. We don't even have a sporting director, for goodness sake! Fans are absolutely furious. Can't go on for much longer until the board have to step back, surely! #TANOUT
Sam, Cardiff
Serious question: why does the window not shut before the season starts? I'm a neutral but West Ham lost two points to Zian Flemming goals [in a 2-2 draw], not Burnley. And now nobody else has to face him. Just seems a bit unfair to me! Integrity of the competition and all that.

I'm so scared for Blackburn. What are Rudy and the recruitment team doing?
Lasiewicz, Lancashire
As a Watford fan, I am very worried that we are still so light in midfield. Will Smallbone is a free agent and we need to make sure we get to him before someone else does. Today we've made some good signings - none to have benefited from pre-season, though!
Joel Ucko, Edgware
Deadline day
Charlton Athletic

The 25-year-old made 68 appearances for the Foxes after he arrived from Tottenham in August 2024.
Skipp started his career at Spurs and played 77 games for the north London side between 2018 and 2024.
He also featured 45 times in the Championship on loan at Norwich City in 2020-21.
Deadline day
Mike White
Commentator on BBC Radio Humberside
Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has just told us on BBC Radio Humberside “£8m plus add-ons” is what they’ve agreed for Sorba Thomas in response to reports out of the Stoke end that the deal is worth £10.5m plus add-ons.
Deadline day
Derby County
Image source, ShutterstockDerby County have re-signed midfielder David Ozoh from Crystal Palace.
The 21-year-old returns to Pride Park on a permanent deal, returning to the club having had two spells on loan with the Rams.
He becomes the club's third signing on deadline day, following Eiran Cashin and Mohammed Fuseini, and has put pen to paper on a five-year deal.
Deadline day

Brentford have agreed a deal to sign winger Kiefer Gorman, 17, from Watford.
The move went through earlier today and is expected to be announced tomorrow.
The move sees Gorman jump from the Championship to the Premier League but it is initially an academy signing, with the Bees understood to be excited by Gorman's potential.
Deadline day
Bristol City
Image source, ShutterstockBristol City have signed Oxford United midfielder Brian De Keersmaecker on a season-long loan with an option to buy.
The 26-year-old Belgian scored twice and provided five assists in 26 games in the Championship for the U's last season, who were relegated to League One, but is yet to appear for Aaron Ramsey's side in this campaign.
De Keersmaecker joined Oxford from Dutch club Heracles Almelo in July 2025.
“He will give us more options in the centre of the pitch and help us with our squad depth and create some more versatility," said Robins sporting director James Ellis.
Deadline day
Portsmouth
Image source, Getty ImagesPortsmouth have signed Tyrese Shade on a three-year deal from Burton Albion for an undisclosed fee.
The 26-year-old scored 14 goals and provided two assists in 45 games in all competitions for the Brewers last season.
That was Shade's only season with the League One club, having joined from National League side Eastleigh in the summer of 2025.
He previously had spells with Solihull Moors, Swindon Town and Walsall.
Deadline day
A number of loan signings in League Two that have been announced after the 11pm deadline to keep you abreast of.
Swindon Town have signed left-back Dan Butler on a season-long loan deal from Stevenage.
Rotherham United have brought in George Sebine from Huddersfield on a loan deal until the end of the campaign.
Accrington Stanley meanwhile have signed Aidan Borland from Aston Villa, while Gillingham have signed midfielder Zech Obiero from Leyton Orient.
Get Involved
What a difference to see Northampton bringing in players from Premier League clubs. Give the manager time for a young squad to gel and see us climb.
Ian Porter, Banbury
Did the Blackburn Rovers recruitment team get loaned out with options to buy before deadline day? Appreciate we can’t spend like others, but lots of names have been rumoured yet there's a very worrying lack of players through the door and no obvious plan… although we’re prepared for free-agent shopping.
Chris, North Yorkshire
Deadline day
Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough have signed midfielder Connor Barron on loan until the end of the season from Rangers.
The 23-year-old has made over 80 appearances for Rangers since his arrival from Aberdeen in 2024.
He becomes Boro's 12th and final addition of this window.
Deadline day
Preston North End
Image source, ShutterstockPreston North End have signed striker Johnny Kenny from Celtic on a four-year deal - and have also brought in midfielder Liam Gibbs on loan from Norwich City.
Kenny, 23, netted six goals in 14 games while on loan at Bolton Wanderers in the second half of last season.
Meanwhile, Gibbs has made 100 appearances in a five-year spell at the Canaries, playing 19 games in the Championship in the 2025-26 campaign.
Deadline day
Stoke City
Image source, Getty ImagesHull City have signed forward Sorba Thomas from Stoke City for an undisclosed fee.
The 27-year-old Wales international scored 10 goals and provided 13 assists in 52 games for the Potters after arriving from Huddersfield Town in June 2025.
He was named as the club's player of the year in his debut campaign at the bet365 Stadium.

“We all thank him for his efforts last season and wish him well for the future.”
Deadline day
