As the transfer window inches shut the last-minute deals are coming thick and fast:

• Chelsea have secured the services of Fiorentina winger Juan Cuadrado for an initial fee of £23.3m, which could rise to £26.8m. The deal is also likely to see Egyptian Mohamed Salah head in the other direction and join Fiorentina on loan, reports the BBC. Colombian Cuadrado has signed a four-and-a-half year deal at Stamford Bridge. The additional performance related payments could see his fee rise to as much as £26.8m, the same value as the release clause in the 26-year-old's Fiorentina contract.
