Latest deadline day reaction including Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United as window closes

The transfer window is now officially closed!
After a summer of record-breaking deals, the fax machines can finally be unplugged for another few months.
The biggest deal to be announced on deadline was undoubtedly Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's switch from Arsenal to Liverpool.
It was also a day to remember for Swansea, who secured Renato Sanches before Wilfield Bony's return was confirmed.
For Alexis Sanchez, however, it was a disappointing evening as he could not land his move away from Arsenal, as Thomas Lemar could not be secured as his replacement.
Philippe Coutinho, Virgil van Dijk, Ross Barkley, Diego Costa and Riyad Mahrez all also appear to have finished the transfer window without completing transfers.

Welcome Drinks! Danny is 'delighted'
And you thought it was all over for the night!
Unsurprisingly for a new signing, Danny Drinkwater’s statement from his new home says that he’s “delighted to be a Chelsea player”.
Blues technical director Michael Emenalo said Drinkwater would prove “invaluable” as the champions look to turn their title defence around.


Llorente "delighted"
Fernando Llorente has been tweeting after completing his move to Tottenham.
Llorente was thought to have cost £12million.
“Delighted to be part of @SpursOfficial and grateful for the warm welcome from everyone,” he tweeted.
“It has been a great pleasure to play the last year with the Swans. You have been amazing, I’ve been very lucky to feel your support.”


Chelsea have signed Davide Zappacosta from
Torino in a £23m deal.
The Italy international will provide valuable cover for Antonio Conte at right wing-back after losing out to Liverpool for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in a £40m move.
Conte gave the 25-year-old his first international call-up ahead of Euro 2016, though he failed to make the final cut for the tournament.
Zappacosta's excellent crossing helped bring out Andre Belotti's aerial prowess, assisting him several times in his 26-goal season.
The deal could allow highly-rated Blues prospect Fikayo Tomori to leave on loan after his brief stint at Brighton last season.


Bony sends message to the fans
Wilfied Bony has left a message to fans of Swansea, Manchester City and Stoke.
The Ivorian striker has completed a move back to the south Wales coast in the final minutes of the transfer window.
“Thank you to the fans of Manchester City and Stoke City. Your support has helped me the last few years.
“Excited to be back home with Swansea!”



And that's it for the Epl top teams.
