Deadline day round-up: Chelsea fail in late bid to sign Victor Osimhen

Raheem Sterling, who has agreed the deal and arrived at Arsenal for a medical late into the evening, will re-connect with his former Manchester City manager, Mikel Arteta.

STAYING PUT: Victor Osimhen is staying at Napoli.

Chelsea have been the biggest and craziest story of the summer, so a failed late bid to sign Victor Osimhen and a last gasp effort to shift Raheem Sterling to Arsenal and replace him with Jadon Sancho, only served to underline the fact.

In a dramatic twist to the end of deadline day, Chelsea finally gave up on signing Napoli striker Osimhen after the player’s camp ignored a new offer just 20 minutes before the 11pm deadline.
