Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... The Earthquakes loaned Chicho Arango, last winter's prize trade acquisition and this offseason's re-signee, to Colombia's Atletico Nacional before Monday's transfer deadline. Arango, a forward who scored 13 goals for the Quakes last season, is a native of Medellin, where Nacional is based. The loan includes a purchase option on Arango's new contract, which runs through December 2027, with club options for two seasons after.

Joao Pedro is enjoying life under Liam Rosenior. The versatile Brazil forward was excellent after coming on at half-time against West Ham. Joao Pedro, who has five goals in his last five games, helped Chelsea complete their comeback from 2-0 down by scoring his side's first and then creating Enzo Fernandez's stoppage-time winner. Chelsea chose well when they beat Newcastle to the signing of the 24-year-old from Brighton last summer.

Winning MLS Cup brings only a couple guaranteed returns: the cup itself and a cash prize ($300,000, roughly the salary of one MLS backup defender). Historically, it has also ushered in a near-mandatory squad rebuild, a consequence of MLS's parity-driven design. With rare exceptions, great teams find it nigh-on-impossible to keep the band together, or to improve on what they already have.

Bournemouth signing Rayan was a huge statement for the Cherries. With Antoine Semenyo leaving Bournemouth midseason, the south coast side have gambled almost 25 million, as per the BBC, on a Brazilian teenager with no European experience replicating a similar sort of output during Iraola's toughest run as manager yet. Bringing in the Vasco da Gama youngster ahead of continental giants, however, could prove to be a masterstroke: here's your speedy scout report on what the teen will offer in England

The Black Cats have added to their influx of summer spending this month by adding 22-year-old Nilson Angulo. An Ecuador international with six goals and seven assists in the Belgian Pro League this season, Angulo is undergoing a medical overseas, according to Sky Sports, ahead of completing an initial 15 million transfer. Sunderland spent upwards of 150m in the summer transfer window, completely reshaping Regis Le Bris' promotion-winning squad.

Liverpool's transfer deadline day has been dominated by the news that the club have sealed an agreement to signed 60 million defender Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes in the summer. That appears to cross off an area of need for the club, given the fact that Ibrahima Konate is into the final months of his Anfield contract, while Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk will turn 35 this summer.

Chelsea winger Tyrique George is reportedly having a medical with Everton ahead of a potential Deadline Day loan with a permanent transfer option. The 19-year-old attacker has long looked like a big prospect coming through at Stamford Bridge, though he's struggled to hold down a regular first-team place. George now looks set to join Everton, with the final touches on the move taking place just hours before tonight's transfer deadline.

AFC Wimbledon have signed former Liverpool and Preston North End forward Layton Stewart on loan from Swiss Super League side FC Thun until the end of the season.

I know we won too much and the people don't want us to win but the referee has to be neutral and for me honestly, it's not fair. It's not fair because we work so hard in these situations and now to make these decisions, we have to move on. Of course you need to come back but at the end, when everything is finished, we are frustrated because it's so clear the foul.

Leeds and Daniel Farke may have kept their powder relatively dry this month when it comes to incoming transfers, but there appears to be movement imminent within the manager's family. Farke's son, Luis Engelns, represents 2. Bundesliga club FC Paderborn but is now, according to reports in Germany, on the cusp of a move to a team in a higher division. Engelns, 18, chose to take his mother's maiden name and has already taken great strides in the game, appearing over 30 times for Paderborn across all competitions.

The Estadio Carlos Belmonte will be the stage for a compelling Copa del Rey quarter-final on Tuesday evening, as Segunda División side Albacete Balompié look to extend their remarkable run in the competition. Barcelona, 32-time winners and the most successful club in the cup's history, arrive as overwhelming favourites but wary of a host riding the wave of a fairytale campaign.

It was pinball; Marco Grull's delivery was headed out, nodded back towards goal by Isaac Schmidt and heading out for a goal-kick, only for Senne Lynen to stretch and just about keep it in, slicing it up in the air, before it fell to Keke Topp. It felt as if the 21-year-old's sublime finish had been cut and pasted from a different sequence entirely, a sumptuous left-foot volley on the swivel that arrowed past Borussia Monchengladbach's goalkeeper, Moritz Nicolas, hitting the net.
