Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • Arsenal midfielder Ethan Nwaneri joined Borussia Dortmund on a season-long loan without a purchase option, with Dortmund covering his wages.
  • Manchester City signed Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye for £60 million plus up to £5 million in add-ons after agreeing personal terms and completing his medical.
  • Other deadline-day moves included Aston Villa’s signings of Ibrahim Mbaye and Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Newcastle’s acquisition of Matias Fernandez-Pardo, and loan moves involving Juventus and Premier League players.

Ethan Nwaneri will spend the season at Borussia Dortmund, while Manchester City completed a £60 million move for Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye as the Premier League transfer window reached its deadline-day climax.

Nwaneri joined Dortmund on a straight season-long loan, with no option to buy, and the German club will cover his wages in full. The 19-year-old England Under-21 international spent the second half of last season on loan at Marseille. Arsenal and the player agreed that another temporary move would give him regular first-team football. Dortmund acted after new signing Giannis Konstantelias suffered an ACL injury.

City confirmed Ndiaye’s arrival in an evening post that said, “Welcome to City, Iliman.” The Senegal international moved from Everton in a deal worth £60 million, with up to £5 million in add-ons. He agreed personal terms and passed his medical earlier in the day. City turned to him after Liverpool rejected an attempt to sign Cody Gakpo. Tottenham had also held advanced talks over Ndiaye.

Aston Villa signed Paris Saint-Germain winger Ibrahim Mbaye for £47 million and Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis for about £29 million to £30 million. Newcastle United completed a £51 million deal for Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo.

Arsenal confirmed Gabriel Jesus’ move to Barcelona for about £8.6 million and Fabio Vieira’s transfer to Hamburg for about £7.7 million, alongside Nwaneri’s loan. Crystal Palace took Honest Ahanor on loan from Atalanta.

Juventus took Newcastle’s Nick Woltemade on a season-long loan for a reported £3.5 million fee, without an option to make the move permanent. Tottenham’s Pape Matar Sarr also joined Juventus on loan, with an obligation to buy for about £23.6 million if specified performance and qualification conditions are met.

The Premier League and English Football League window closed at 11 p.m. BST on Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. Clubs could still finalize deals after the deadline if they submitted a deal sheet beforehand.

Welcome to City, Iliman.
