Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Latest Yannick Carrasco, Ivan Perisic and Christopher Nkunku updates

Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE blog dedicated to the latest news and rumours on transfer deadline day.  The window has slammed shut, and Michy Batshuayi has sealed a dramatic late loan transfer from Chelsea to Crystal Palace.  The Belgian dominated much of deadline day after Denis Suarez completed his respective loan move to Arsenal from Barcelona, and Palace finally got their man in a late announcement after the window closed at 11pm.  Batshuayi was at one stages weighing up a short-term move to West Ham, before it emerged that Tottenham had held talks with Chelsea over a permanent deal, but the Blues' demands of £35-40million put the buffers on that.  And that's when Palace swopped in. The Eagles have submitted a deal sheet, and we expect confirmation before 1am.  Stay tuned for all the latest news and reaction...

Arsenal transfer news, rumours - LIVE! Latest on Mesut Ozil future at Emirates Stadium

This summer is set to be another period of change for Arsenal as Unai Emery assesses a squad which narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification.  The season could yet end on a high note for Emery, with a Europa League Final against Chelsea to come - and the prospect of Champions League qualification should they beat Maurizio Sarri's Blues in Baku.  As for the summer transfer window, Emery will be looking for reinforcements. With Aaron Ramsey leaving on a free for Juventus and Denis Suarez failing to impress on loan from Barcelona, Arsenal will need more goals from midfield if they are to seriously challenge next season.  As for his back line, Emery will also have to recruit some solid defenders after watching the Gunners concede 51 League goals - the most of the top six, and more than Wolves, Everton, Leicester and Newcastle.  Mesut Ozil is also determined to stay at the Emirates until his contract expires in 2021, so it seems as though the German playmaker may have to form a key part of Emery's plans going forward.

Barcelona transfer news, rumours - LIVE! Latest on Griezmann, De Ligt and Coutinho from Camp Nou

Barcelona find themselves in the curious position of potentially entering the summer transfer window as disappointed domestic double winners.  Ernesto Valverde's side looked odds-on for a superb treble campaign as they travelled to Anfield for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final 3-0 up against Liverpool.  However, a spectacular 4-0 collapse on Merseyside has threatened to completely overshadow their LaLiga title triumph, while the Copa del Rey Final against Valencia will be of scant consolation to Barca fans - or Lionel Messi, who had made the Champions League his main target this year.  Philippe Coutinho does not appear to be part of those plans after losing the trust of both the Barca fans and board, while Ousmane Dembele's injury woes make it increasingly likely that the club will seek out additional firepower.  Frenkie de Jong has already been signed, while Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann could make a different 'decision' this summer after rejecting Barca last year.  De Jong's Ajax team-mate Matthijs de Ligt could well follow him to Camp Nou, but Barca face a tricky task this summer as they seek top talent while also having to manage a huge wage bill.

Chelsea transfer news, rumours - LIVE! Latest Eden Hazard news from Stamford Bridge

Chelsea head into the summer transfer window under the cloud of a Fifa transfer ban, but with the added bonus of having already secured Champions League football for next season.  While the Premier League season may have ended on a high note on the pitch for the Blues as they finished third and also set up a Europa League Final against Arsenal, the club is set to face a transfer embargo as things stand.  Chelsea's appeal against a two-winder transfer ban was rejected by Fifa last week, and the west London club are now ow taking their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport - and CAS could postpone the punishment while the process is carried out.  Regardless of whether Chelsea can sign players, Eden Hazard looks increasingly likely to leave for Real Madrid - if the Spanish giants match Chelsea's asking price of over £100million, that is.

Liverpool transfer news, rumours - LIVE! Latest news from Anfield

Jurgen Klopp has little time to reflect on a stunning season as the Liverpool manager must somehow find a way to improve on near-perfection in a bid to best Manchester City next year.  It is hard to know what to say about Liverpool's Premier League campaign, but the stats speak for themselves: 30 wins, sevens draws, one defeat, 95 goals scored, 23 goals conceded, and 97 points... but all of that only amounted to second place.  Only Man City's relentless 14-match winning run at the end of the season prevented Liverpool from lifting their first League title since 1989, but the campaign is not over yet for the Reds.  Jurgen Klopp's men lost last season's Champions League Final to Real Madrid, but have another shot of lifting the trophy this year as they face Tottenham in Madrid on June 1.  Lifting the club's sixth European Cup would be the perfect tonic for Klopp, and having got Liverpool's record transfers Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker spectacularly right, the signs are that the German coach will be significantly backed again this summer.

The summer of 2019 is set to be one of huge changes for Manchester United as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seeks to rebuild his squad following a chaotic, morale-sapping season at Old Trafford.  The 2018-19 campaign was one of two troughs and one peak for United fans, with Solskjaer immediately arresting the alarming slump in form as temporary manager following Jose Mourinho's sacking in December.  But reality began to bite as soon as Solskjaer signed a permanent deal, with Barcelona dumping United out of Europe 4-0 on aggregate while the Red Devils picked up just eight points from a possible 27 in their final nine Premier League games to finish sixth.  With only Europa League football to offer next season, Ed Woodward's chances of attracting top talent could be impacted - but Solskjaer has plenty of names on an expensive wishlist for the Glazer family, including Jadon Sancho, Harry Maguire, Joao Felix, Bruno Fernandes and Idrissa Gueye understood to be key targets.  There could also be plenty of outgoings from Old Trafford: Ander Herrera has already confirmed his exit on a free transfer (most likely to PSG), while the futures of David de Gea, Alexis Sanchez, Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Juan Mata are also in doubt.

Real Madrid transfer news, rumours - LIVE! Latest on Hazard, Pogba and Courtois from the Bernabeu

Zinedine Zidane is back in the Bernabeu hotseat with Real Madrid set for a serious rebuild this summer.  With Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus move leading to Zidane's shock resignation last summer, Real were ready for a season of transition - but few could have predicted such a disastrous campaign which saw three different coaches in charge as the club ended the year empty-handed.  Real have come full circle with Zidane tempted back by Florentino Perez's apparent promise of being able to rebuild the squad in his image, with the likes of Eden Hazard and Paul Pogba heavily linked to the Bernabeu - while Gareth Bale and Keylor Navas are set to be shown the exit.  While Zizou may not be able to bring Ronaldo back to Madrid, few would bet against the French legend adding the talent necessary to challenge Barcelona for top honours next season.

Tottenham transfer news, rumours - LIVE! Latest news on Sessegnon and Bale from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham are on the verge of an historic season, but there are already warning signs that this summer could be a tricky one.  Having failed to make a single signing during the last two transfer windows, Spurs have defied the odds to finish in the top four and also reach the Champions League Final vs Liverpool on June 1.  Tottenham have also moved into their brand new 62,062-seater stadium to set themselves up for the future, but the move has come at a cost - literally and metaphorically - with Mauricio Pochettino unable to add to his squad, and threatening that he will not accept the status quo next term.  If Tottenham are to ensure that their Champions League Final is not a one-off, it looks as though Daniel Levy will have to buck the recent trend and add to Pochettino's squad - but whether the chairman can actually afford to is another question entirely.  Standard Sport understands that Ryan Sessegnon prefers a move to Spurs over Manchester United, but will likely cost around £40million. Meanwhile, Gareth Bale has been linked with a loan return to north London - but the Real Madrid star's wages could prove to be a stumbling block.

Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE blog dedicated to the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip.  Standard Sport understands Eden Hazard is expected to play in Chelsea’s friendly against New England Revolution in the USA on Thursday morning as his dream switch to Real Madrid hangs in the balance.  Meanwhile, Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon, who has one year left on his contract at Craven Cottage, is keen to join Tottenham over Manchester United this summer.  Mesut Ozil has played down the chances of him leaving Arsenal this summer, while Crystal Palace have denied they are in takeover talks with controversial former Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra.

Click here for the desktop version.  The 2018-19 Premier League season may be over, but the fun is just beginning as clubs start to ramp up their plans for what promises to be a huge summer transfer window.  Manchester City and Liverpool ensured the title race went to the final day of the season - with Pep Guardiola's side the eventual champions - and both clubs will surely be active as they bid to maintain their dominance over the chasing pack.  Chelsea finished the season well, but things could get more difficult though as the Blues face a two-window Fifa transfer ban as well as the prospect of losing Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.  Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to rebuild a bloated Manchester United squad lacking quality after a sixth-placed finish. Mauricio Pochettino, meanwhile, is basking in the glow of reaching the Champions League Final with Tottenham, though the coach has warned Spurs that he could leave unless they make signings.  Arsenal missed out on a top-four finish, but their summer plans will largely depend on whether the Gunners beat Chelsea in the Europa League Final to qualify for the Champions League.
