Transfer deadline day latest: Marc Guehi to Liverpool update as Chelsea sanction £22m exit

We are ticking ever closer to the British transfer window shutting at 19:00, and moves are still happening across the country.

That isn't the only deal Liverpool are working on, though, and we have an update on the Marc Guehi, in addition to other transfer news, below.

Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott is on the verge of a move to Aston Villa after the Villains had a loan offer for the 22-year-old accepted.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Elliott will join Aston Villa until the end of the season, and as part of the agreement, Villa will be obligated to pay £35m for him at the end of the loan spell.

Elliott has spent six years at Anfield after signing for the club back in 2019. He quickly became a fan favourite due to his tenacity and the fact that he grew up as a Liverpool supporter.

At Aston Villa, he has the opportunity to become a permanent fixture in the starting XI as the club looks to bounce back from a poor start to the season.

Liverpool are on the brink of a dream transfer deadline day after Crystal Palace accepted a £35m bid from the Reds for Marc Guehi.

Although their focus has predominantly been on Alexander Isak in recent weeks, Liverpool have been keen on the England defender for the entire summer.

According to David Ornstein, Guehi will complete his medical in London to save time travelling to Merseyside before putting pen to paper on a five-year contract at Anfield.

However, in a twist in the tale, Crystal Palace's collapsed move for Brighton defender Igor has put the move in jeopardy.

Before transfer deadline day, Fulham's only summer signing was a reserve goalkeeper. That could all be about to change, though, as the Cottagers are set to sign Tyrique George from Chelsea.

The teenager, who came off the bench against Fulham at the weekend, is reportedly heading to Craven Cottage for £22m, according to David Ornstein. George will reportedly sign a five-year contract with his new club.

The signing of Tyrique George won't necessarily be Fulham's only deal of the day, either.

The club have been locked in talks with Shakhtar Donetsk's Kevin for the last week and the deal is now set to be finalised before the 7pm deadline.
