Transfer deals in Europe’s top leagues have been on a downward trend. However, deadline day fever with its auction room atmosphere may change all that as far as the Premier League is concerned.

Having had an offer of £30m for Andy Carroll turned down, Liverpool have upped their bid to £35m which looks likely to succeed.
