Managers and directors of football have had all summer to finalise their transfer business, but that never stops them from dashing around to frantically seal last-minute signings.
Today is the penultimate day of the summer transfer window and as the majority of clubs played yesterday, there are sure to be endless conversations between clubs over the selling and buying of players.
In this live transfer blog, Sports Mole will keep you to to date with all the comings and goings in the world of football.
Hello and good morning! There's only one place to go today for all the latest transfer news... and that's here! So make sure to keep checking Sports Molethroughout the day, as it's sure to be a busy Sunday in terms of transfers!
Before we start looking at what's happening this morning, let's take a look at some of the biggest stories to break overnight:

Arsenal 'hijack Chelsea Loic Remy move'
Plenty of talk, then, about movement at Manchester United, while Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are also mentioned. We'll see whether any of the big guns make one final move (or in Man Utd's case, potentially more!) in the transfer window.
It seems as though Loic Remy is close to sealing a £10.5m deal with Chelsea, and Jose Mourinho has said that as far as he is aware, there is "no problem" with the fitness of the Frenchman.
Manchester United have been incredibly busy this summer, and there could be another new player arriving at Old Trafford. Reports this morning have suggested that Kevin Strootman will follow his former Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal to Man Utd, but with the midfielder currently recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, any deal won't be finalised until January.
Lewis Holtby went on loan to Fulham during the second half of last season to secure first-team football, and it looks as though the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder could be doing the same this time around. Everton are the team rumoured to be after a loan deal for the 23-year-old.
Fulham aren't content with snatching Ross McCormack from Leeds United, as reports this morning suggest that they also want to bring giant striker Matt Smith to London.
Did you see the message from Radamel Falcao's Twitter account last night? If not, here it is. It seemed to suggest that the Colombian forward had completed a move to Real Madrid, but the 28-year-old has since tweeted to say that his account had been hacked. I'll leave you to make your own mind up about that one...
Micah Richards could be on his way out of Manchester City. According to reports, the defender has held talks with Sunderland over a possible loan move.
Another loan deal which looks to be on the cards is a move to bring Sporting Lisbon winger Diego Capel to Southampton. The Portuguese side are said to be willing to let the 26-year-old leave after securing the services of Nani.
Hull City are lining up a £3m move to bring Schalke 04 left-back Christian Fuchs to the North-East, according to reports.
A name synonymous with pretty much every gossip column is Salomon Kalou, but the former Chelsea winger has put to bed any questions surrounding his future (temporarily, at least) by penning a three-year deal with German side Hertha Berlin.
MK Dons manager Karl Robinson has said that "two or three top Premier League teams" have been in contact with the club over a possible move for 18-year-old Dele Alli.
QPR midfielder Armand Traore is reportedly reluctant to join Crystal Palace, despite the R's accepting a bid for the 24-year-old on Friday.
Reports suggest that Norwich City are preparing to make a late swoop for young Manchester United defender Michael Keane.

Thanks Daniel. As we told you earlier, Loic Remy has joined Chelsea, despite interest from Arsenal.

Here's a story which could come as a surprise to some, Jermain Defoe could be heading back to the Premier League. The striker, who left Tottenham to join Toronto in January, is thought to be considering his future after the MLS side fired its coaching staff, and it seems that Harry Redknapp is offering him the chance to return to England and join his Queens Park Rangers squad. It would be the fourth time that Defoe has played for a Redknapp side.
