Deadline Day

The European winter transfer window closed as of noon Eastern Time, and with it came a flurry of rumors and deals that still could yet be announced. Here's a link to the minute-by-minute coverage of the deadline at ESPN Soccernet.

So far, here's what I've been hearing:

--Tottenham's Robbie Keane has been linked with Celtic for a loan deal. However the Scottish transfer window closes at 7 p.m. ET so hold on for more information.

-Manchester City has been looking to close a few deals, with names like midfielder Fernando Gago of Real Madrid the most notable. It was also confirmed that winger Adam Johnson has completed a move to the Eastlands from Middlesbrough.

-Inter Milan's Brazilian winger Mancini has joined rivals AC Milan on a six-month loan deal.


-Fulham have signed three players in a massive swoop at the deadline.

-Sunderland also has been rumored to have striker James Beattie at the club for a medical, with details still yet to be announced.

It was a lackluster January in terms of transfer movement, but the final day has seen the pace quicken. Check back throughout the day for updates!
