    Siem De Jong, Newcastle United to PSV Eindhoven, Loan (Done Deal)

    The former Ajax star has linked up with his brother Luuk at PSV after Newcastle agreed to a season-long loan. “I am very happy that PSV has come in for me,” said the 27-year-old, who has endured an injury-plagued two years at Tyneside.

    Jean-Christophe Bahebeck, PSG to Pescara, Loan (Done Deal)

    The versatile 23-year-old strikers head to Italy on the advice of his teammate Marco Verratti, a former Pescara player. Bahebeck heads across the Alps to the newly-promoted club with a view to a permanent transfer at the end of the season.

    Brendan Galloway, Everton to West Brom, Loan (Done Deal)

    The Baggies have begged the left-back on a season-long loan, with no recall option. The Zimbabwe-born 20-year-old, who has England youth caps up to under-19 level, has made 21 appearances for Everton, including 16 starts in the top flight.

    Joel Campbell, Arsenal to Sporting, Loan (Done Deal)

    The 24-year-old moves to the Estadio Jose Alvalade on a season-long loan deal – a fifth loan spell since moving to the Emirates in 2011 from Deportivo Saprissa in his homeland. Scored four goals in 30 games in all competitions for Arsenal last season.

    James Rodriguez, Real Madrid to Chelsea, £60m (New Target)

    With Diego Costa and Michy Batshuayi in form, Antonio Conte has put an end to the club’s pursuit of Everton striker Romelu Lukaku. The Blues, however, are ready to bid for James, 25, although Madrid president Florentino Perez insists he will not leave.
