Time is running out for clubs so deals are being rubber-stamped and we're hearing all sorts of whispers in our Rumour Room.
Loic Remy, Demba Ba and Daniel Sturridge all made big-money moves earlier this month, while Manchester United wrapped up a £15million package deal for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha last week.
Tuesday saw AC Milan confirm the signing of Mario Balotelli from Manchester City, subject to a medical, Anton Ferdinand join Bursaspor on loan, Alan Hutton head to Spain and Liverpool move closer to the signing of Philippe Coutinho from Inter - while the futures of Peter Odemwingie, Danny Graham and Peter Crouch are still up in the air.
There will be plenty more wheeling and dealing in the next few hours so we'll provide a daily round-up of all the deals that get done or are in the pipeline, plus any other decent news lines.
