As the highly anticipated Deadline Day approaches nothing can be certain (apart from Jim White's yellow tie), but here are the players who I believe could be on the move ,to or from the Premier League, on the final day of the summer transfer window.

Kepa Arrizabalaga and Thibaut Courtois:
With Courtois going AWOL in order to force through a move to Real Madrid, rivals of the keepers previous club Atletico, this deal is becoming ever more likely by the hour, Chelsea now face a battle against the clock to find a replacement. It had been believed that they were eyeing up English keeper Jack Butland, but seemingly a smokescreen to complete a deal for Spain's third choice World Cup keeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, this world record money move for a keeper will most probably be completed by the deadline. Kepa, who himself had previously been linked with a move to Real Madrid after a good season at Athletic Bilbao, could've have left for a free this summer if it wasn't for agreeing a new contract at the club so Athletic Bilbao have seemingly played a blinder for the young keeper as they max out the profit.

Danny Ings:
Though one of Jurgen Klopp's favoured personnel at Liverpool, Danny Ings' injury stricken career at Liverpool could be coming to an end. After only making 14 appearances for the Merseyside club, netting on three occasions in three seasons, Ings will struggle to force his way back into the side as Firmino has cemented his place as starter and Ings currently finds himself behind Sturridge and Solanke in the pecking order. So, with lots of interest from many other Premier League suitors Danny Ings' future certainly seems to be much more likely away from Liverpool than with the Champions league finalists.

Jack Grealish:
After lighting up the Championship last year and catching the eye of many pundits, it is not a surprise that Grealish has turned the heads of Premier League clubs. Valued at £30m, by current club Aston Villa, linked clubs - Chelsea and Tottenham - will have to fork out a substantial sum for the youngster who is yet proven at such a high standard. However, do I believe that this deal will be one to definitely watch on deadline day? For sure. With it rumoured that Tottenham had a £25m bid rejected last night (07/08/18) the pursuit of the starlet is most definitely real and so it is just a question of will they meet the asking price. For Chelsea no formal bid has been made as of yet so if this deal goes through it looks more likely to be to Spurs, but do not be surprised if the Blues make a last-minute bid to steal the youngster out of the hands of Tottenham.

Domagoj Vida:

After Vida and self-proclaimed: "one of the best defenders in the world”, A.K.A Lovren, surprised many with their defensive displays for Croatia, which led them to their first ever World Cup final, the Besiktas centre back has supposedly become very sought after, but is this interest real or an agent trying to force a move? Vida has been linked with clubs all around Europe and a move to the Premier League does seem most likely. After being linked with: Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham, the 29-year-old may finally get his dream move to the Premier League. Out of the three clubs his most likely destination may be West Ham as the club look to sort out their defensive struggles from last season. However, with Liverpool thin on the ground of top class centre backs and injury troubles leaving them with only two first team centre halves, Vida could end up pairing with Lovren on Merseyside. Though any move isn't looking likely yet, this guy’s name will probably be thrown around a lot on the final day, so watch out for interest.

Lucas Perez:
Another potential incoming at the Hammers could see Arsenal man, Lucas Perez, link up with ex Arsenal teammate Jack Wilshere as Perez seeks first team football and West Ham seek an out and out striker to replace Andy Carroll - who once again finds himself side-lined due to injury. With this deal coming out of nowhere and happening very quickly the deal is looking ever more likely and so have the Hammers finally found their man to strengthen the striking position?

Nabil Fekir:
Nabil Fekir once looked destined for Liverpool, but after a supposed failed medical the deal fell through and interest was never resurrected. However, it now appears that Chelsea are front runners to secure to World Cup winners’ signature after he was left out of the Lyon squad to face Chelsea last night. Fekir wouldn't come cheap, as Liverpool found, and so the price tag may scare Chelsea off, but should a deal begin to emerge do not be surprised to see interest from Liverpool again - otherwise we could have a Loic Remy 2.0 on our hands. This is sure to be an interesting deadline day for all those involved with this one.

Toby Alderweireld:
Alderweireld has been linked with a departure from Tottenham all summer and heavily linked with Manchester United. United had been looking at Maguire and most recently Jerome Boateng, but after cooling interest in the Foxes defender and Boateng not wanting to move to Manchester United, this deal may finally be completed as Manchester United look to strengthen their defensive line. This is certainly another deal to keep a close eye on.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic or Gareth Bale:
Two of the more unlikely moves of the day, but still very much potential, could see Manchester United land another big name as it seems Pogba fancies a move away from United for a second time and a move to Barcelona being rumoured. These two players, Savic and Bale, are permanently linked with Manchester United and with one potential big-name departure bringing in a substantial amount of money, would the Red Devils be ready to pounce for Europe's top talent once again? It will make for very interesting viewing if Pogba rumours surface even more than they already are and if they do, this is who I believe could find themselves at Old Trafford for next season instead.
