11.14pmThanks Joe! Let's start with the news that Queens Park Rangers have recalled goalkeeper Julio Cesar from his loan spell at Toronto. The Brazilian international made seven appearances for the MLS side after joining in February.

11.06pmIt's been a quiet few hours in the transfer market but I am sure things will pick up as Alex Meyers takes you through to 2am with the latest done deals and speculation from across Europe.

10.58pmLovren is expected to follow former Saints teammate Adam Lallana to Anfield, but the England international has suffered an injury on Liverpool's pre-season tour in America and will miss the start of the season. The Reds face Â£23.6m signing Lallana's former club Southampton on the opening weekend.

10.08pmDejan Lovren's imminent move to Liverpool is second only to Didier Drogba's emotional Chelsea return in terms of stories of the day. Southampton coped okay without him in their pre-season friendly against Bournemouth, though, with Lloyd Isgrove firing them to a 1-0 victory at Dean Court.

9.06pmOne move that doesn't appear as if it will go through is the proposed loan move of David Davis to Barnsley. The 23-year-old Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder, who only has one year left on his Molineux contract, has failed to agree personal terms at the League One outfit.

8.40pmDONE DEAL! Another one signed, sealed and delivered this Friday evening is Frazier Campbell to Crystal Palace. The 26-year-old striker, who had also interested Premier League new boys Leicester City, leaves Cardiff City to pen a three-year contract to play under Tony Pulis at Selhurst Park.

7.54pmLeyton Orient are close to pulling off somewhat of a coup, having agreed terms with Jobi McAnuff. They will sign the 32-year-old midfielder, who was released by Reading earlier this summer having made over 200 appearances during his five years with the Royals, if he passes a medical.

7.41pmDONE DEAL! News of a signing for Sunderland, and Gus Poyet's search for a left-back appears to be over. They have confirmed the arrival of Netherlands international Patrick van Aanholt, 23, from Chelsea on a four-year contract, for an undisclosed fee. The Black Cats have been short in that position since losing Marcos Alonso, Phil Bardsley and Andrea Dossena at the end of last season.

2.25pmReports have suggested over the past few days that Chelsea are in talks with Didier Drogba over a potential return to Stamford Bridge, and the striker himself has seemingly indicated that he is close to making a decision on his future. The 36-year-old has taken to Twitter to confirm his departure from Galatasaray, telling the club that he is "proud" of their achievements together.
