Where will these five end up today?
It's the busiest night of the football season with every transfer potentially impacting on the Betfair markets. Mike Norman is here to update us throughout the evening...

When you're hosting a Transfer Deadline Day party it's important to be prepared. Peanuts, pickled onions, cheese, crisps, and a fridge full of cold lager lemonade are all at the ready. All we need now is some guests.
We tried to get TDD extraordinaire Jim White but he's otherwise engaged, so we tried to get Jimmy White, but we couldn't afford him. In fact the only White we could afford was a cheap bottle of Chardonnay which I'm currently using to keep my pickled onions nice and moist in.
But enough about my cosy little set-up, what's been happening in the transfer market today?
My colleague Christian Crowther - who got the easy shift by the way - penned an early update with news on the likes of Andy Carroll, Daniel Sturridge, Clint Dempsey and Michael Essien, before later reporting on Joao Moutinho's potential move to Tottenham.
However, since Crhistian's update it has emerged that the Moutinho deal is now in the balance because the club and player can't agree personal terms. They have over five hours to sort it out and boy do Spurs need Moutinho. After the departure of Luka Modric to Real Madrid, fans favourite Rafael van der Vaart has joined Hamburg in a deal worth around 10m.
The arrival of Moutinho will boost the Tottenham midfield considerably and enhance their chances of recording a Top Four Finish this season, for which they can currently be backed at 3.412/5.
I'll be hoping to bring you some news of Michael Owen's whereabouts a bit later, once today's horse racing has finished he'll show his face I'm sure, whilst other big names still waiting for their futures to be decided include Clint Dempsey, Theo Walcott and Yossi Benayoun.
Hourly Trivia: Michael Owen's superstition of always putting his right sock and boot on before his left has carried over to the horse-racing world. When one of his horses needs re-shoeing he insists that the right feet are done before the left.
