Tottenham, Sunderland, Swansea and Chelsea all feature.

Tottenham Hotspur have clinched the signing of Fernando Llorente, The London Evening Standard report.

The Spaniard moves for £14 million with Spurs beating Chelsea to his signature.

This has allowed Swansea City to re-sign Wilfried Bony from Manchester City, in a permanent deal.

The big late story was Ross Barkley refusing to join Chelsea after going to the Blues for a medical.

Chelsea had a £35 million bid accepted but Barkley backed out of a move.

The Telegraph report this was because he wanted to join Tottenham and felt uncomfortable at being pushed into a move to Chelsea.

Everton had been unable to agree a fee with Spurs. Barkley will now try his luck in January.
