The transfer window has closed temporarily and, despite approaches from Chelsea in recent days, the Blues did not complete any more signings on deadline day. It is expected Chelsea will revisit the Jamie Gittens signing in the coming weeks after having an offer worth more than £42m rejected by Borussia Dortmund.

Manchester City have announced the signing of goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli from Chelsea on a one-year deal. The 33-year-old was the third-choice goalkeeper in west London and made just one appearance in his four-year stint there.

Chelsea's bid to sign Mike Maignan is off after they failed to agree a deal with AC Milan - though sources state the move could still be salvaged later this summer.
