Transfer deadline day as it happened: Recap the final day of the January transfer window

Bowen sneaks under the wire!

We suspected it might have been the case, and now it's confirmed. Jarrod Bowen is now a West Ham United player.

The Hull City hitman has been prolific in the Championship, and now he'll be donning the famous claret and blue of West Ham as a Premier League striker the next time he takes to the field.

The deal was done and submitted just as the transfer window was coming to a close, and seals the final big-time transfer of the window, with the Hammers set to pay Hull a fee believed to be in the region of £25 million.

THE WINDOW SLAMS SHUT!

That's it, it's over! The 2020 January Transfer Window is now closed, and only those deals that have active paperwork with league officials will now be ratified beyond tonight's 11pm (UK time) deadline.

DONE DEAL: Aston Villa land Borja Baston

Aston Villa have added to their attacking options with the signing of Spanish target man Borja Baston from Swansea City on a six-month deal.

Villa are flirting with that dreaded dotted line at the foot of the Premier League, and have moved to sign Baston to give them another attacking threat to help them claw their way clear of danger.

DONE DEAL: IGHALO JOINS MANCHESTER UNITED

It's one of the two big deals that has dominated the final two hours of the January Transfer Window, and it's now a DONE deal, as Odion Ighalo's loan switch from Shanghai Shenhua to Manchester United is now complete.

The former Watford hitman, who hit 36 goals from 72 Premier League starts at Vicarage Road, will swap China for England in a six-month loan switch that also includes an option for United to buy the striker at the end of the season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had to wait to get a replacement for the injured Marcus Rashford, but now it seems he's got one.

DONE DEAL: Ryan Bennett joins Leicester

Center half Ryan Bennett has joined Leicester City on loan from fellow Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers. 

The loan, which takes Bennett to the King Power Stadium until the end of the season, also includes an option for The Foxes to buy the defender for a sum believed to be around £5 million.

ONE HOUR TO GO!

We're less than 60 minutes away from the end of the 2020 January Transfer Window and all eyes are on Old Trafford and The London Stadium, as Manchester United and West Ham United race against the clock to secure the signings of much-needed strikers.

United are working with Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua to secure the signing of former Watford striker Odion Ighalo on a six-month loan with an option to buy, while West Ham are on the verge of securing the transfer of in-form Hull City striker Jarrod Bowen for a fee believed to be in the region of £20 million ($26.4 million).

Most of the other clubs in the Premier League appear to be powering down their laptops for the night, but the lights are very much still on in Salford and Stratford.

Can they get their respective deals done in time?

Jarrod Bowen on the brink of Hammers switch

Hull City hitman Jarrod Bowen has been a target for West Ham United, and it seems things are finally beginning to come together for the deal.

Bowen is now, according to Sky Sports, at West Ham with his family, and finalising details over his move to the Premier League club.

The striker, who has scored 54 goals in 117 games in all competitions for Hull, has netted 17 times in all competitions this season, leading to him being rated as one of the most prolific potential targets from the Football League.

West Ham clearly like what they see, and are pulling out the stops to get the 23-year-old's signature secured before the window slams shut at 11pm UK time.

Derby's January signing looks a bit useful...

While most of the Premier League are glued to the rolling live coverage of Transfer Deadline Day, Championship fans are checking out the live Friday Night Football clash between Derby County and Stoke City.

As we post this update, there are 12 minutes left to play at Pride Park, and Derby are 4-0 up.

Here's the video of their third, a peach of a free kick from Derby's promising new signing.

He goes by the name of Wayne Rooney!
