Deadline looms as QPR sign Sandro

With little under an hour until the transfer window closes, many managers are going to the wire.

This is the situation for London clubs:

ARSENAL It seems Arsene Wenger may be poised to act despite being at a charity football event in Rome. The Gunners have agreed a deal in principle to sign Manchester United's Danny Welbeck. However, talks remain ongoing and Arsenal may be going to the wire to get the deal over the line.

CRYSTAL PALACE Neil Warnock has said he wanted as many as four new faces today and has already brought two in as Tottenham's Zeki Fryers and Wigan's James McArthur have completed their moves after being spotted at the training round earlier.

QPR It's one of Harry Redknapp's favourite days although he uncharacteristically refused the offer of an interview from out of his car window. The club earlier agreed a fee of around £10million for Liverpool striker Fabio Borini although it is understood he has failed to agree personal terms. There is better news as Sandro joins the club! Jermain Defoe could join him, with QPR owner Tony Fernandes optimistic over bringing thim to the club. Nico Kranjcar could also complete a move too but a deal for Lassana Diarra has died.

CHELSEA Marco van Ginkel is the second Blues player to head to Milan in this window, following Fernando Torres on a one-year loan deal.

TOTTENHAM Lewis Holtby has left the north London club to join Hamburg on loan for the season although Spurs have boosted their midfield numbers with the signing of Benjamin Stambouli from Montpellier.
