Chelsea, Liverpool, Premier League transfer news: Mamadou Sakho, Danny Drinkwater, Riyad Mahrez

CHELSEA wrapped up a late move for Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater at the end of a nerve-jangling Deadline Day.

It is understood the fee is £35m, while Leicester are confident they have completed the signing of Adrien Silva from Sporting Lisbon before the deadline for a fee believed to be £22m.

Negotiations with Chelsea rumbled on as the clock ticked down on Thursday night with the Premier League champions falling short of the Foxes’ valuation of the England international.

Drinkwater was holed up at Chelsea’s training ground in Cobham as he awaited news of discussions between the two clubs.

The deal seemed to depend on Leicester attempting to sign Silva and at 1:30am both clubs confirmed that Drinkwater had sealed a move on a five-year deal for a club-record fee.

Drinkwater told Chelsea’s website: ‘I’m delighted to be a Chelsea player and can’t wait to get started. It has been a long journey to get here but I am very happy and am looking forward to helping the club win more trophies.”

He becomes Chelsea’s sixth senior signing of the summer following the arrivals of Willy Caballero, Antonio Rudiger, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Alvaro Morata and Davide Zappacosta.

Silva was given permission to leave Portugal’s training camp to undergo a medical and negotiate the final parts of the potential Leicester deal.

Leicester saw a bid of £25m rejected by Sporting Lisbon last year for Silva, who has been capped 20 times by Portugal and was a member of the starting XI when they beat France in the Euro 2016 final.Leicester officials are awaiting formal confirmation from the FA and Premier League that the deal went through correctly.

Riyad Mahrez was still with Leicester when Deadline Day came to an end on Thursday night.

The forward had been given permission by Algeria to leave the national team’s camp in order to complete a transfer but the day passed with no deal in place.

The Spanish window remains open for another 24 hours, though, so there is a chance Mahrez could still leave for a La Liga club.

Meanwhile, Mamadou Sakho is back at Crystal Palace after the Eagles signed him from Liverpool in a £26m Deadline Day deal.

The France international was a big hit when he was loaned to the Eagles last season, and they have been attempting to land him on a permanent basis throughout the summer.

Palace confirmed they had finally got their man in the early hours of Friday morning, after having a fee of £24m plus £2m in add-ons accepted.

Sky Sports News reported earlier this week that Palace had placed a third bid worth £22m, plus £3m in add-ons, but that was turned down.

“I am really happy to be here because I have some friends here.

“I still keep in touch with Christian (Benteke), Wilf (Zaha), Bakary (Sako) and Yohan Cabaye, as well as Jason Puncheon. We had a really good ambience last year and so we still speak to each other.

“I am really excited about playing for the Palace fans again, but in football the past is the past and you need to think about today and tomorrow.

“Last year we did a good job and we need to prove that again and have a good objective. If we put all of our power together, we will have a great season.”

Finally, Vincent Janssen will be staying at Tottenham after turning down the chance to join Premier League new boys Brighton.

The Seagulls have been struggling for goals this season so far and made a late attempt to land the Netherlands international striker just before the transfer window closed on Thursday night.

Janssen may struggle for minutes at Tottenham this season, following the news the London side have acquired Fernando Llorente from Swansea as another possible deputy for Harry Kane.

But the 23-year-old, who arrived at Spurs last summer after a prolific spell with AZ, has decided to stay with the club for the time being.

THE transfer window has CLOSED but there are still some late deals filtering through for Premier League clubs.

In a dramatic, frantic Deadline Day, a host of big name deals were made while even bigger deals collapsed late on.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Liverpool was completed as the Reds and Arsenal saw their pursuit of Thomas Lemar end. Philippe Coutinho, Virgil van Dijk, Diego Costa and Riyad Mahrez’s futures are still up in the air with the Spanish window remaining open for a further 24 hours.

CHAOTIC.

That’s the only way to describe the end to the summer Premier League transfer window.

As the dust settles and we gather our thoughts, Antonio Conte will be thinking ‘how did it all go so wrong?’

Chelsea secured the deal of Danny Drinkwater, albeit two and a half hours after deadline, to soothe the anger, but it was a shambolic day best summed up by the farce of Ross Barkley.
