Nasri and Bony out, David Luiz's return and the latest transfer deadline day news

There’s still a bit of business to be done as the clock ticks down.

THERE ARE JUST hours to go until the transfer window shuts closed until 1 January, so here are the good, the bad, and the unlikely football moves being talked about today…

IT’S BEEN A BUSY day so far at Manchester City as several players head for the exit door.

Following on from the news that Joe Hart has joined Serie A side Torino on loan for the remainder of the season, Europa League winners Sevilla have announced a similar deal for French midfielder Samir Nasri.

And Man City boss Pep Guardiola has also allowed Ivorian striker Wilfried Bony to leave on loan to join Stoke City.

Chelsea are believed to be close to announcing former Bolton Wanderers full-back Marcos Alonso as their latest arrival from Fiorentina, while they are also reportedly in talks with Paris Saint-Germain to bring back David Luiz for around £38 million (€44m).

The Brazilian international left Stamford Bridge two years ago for £50m after some not-so-assured performances at centre-half.

Football really has gone mad.

Premier League champions Leicester City are close to adding two big players from Sporting Lisbon, with Algerian forward Islam Slimani having a medical ahead of his £30m (€35m) move and team-mate and Euro 2016 winner Adrien Silva still realistic possibility.

Elsewhere, Jack Wilshere could be off to Roma, with Bournemouth and Crystal Palace both among the other interested parties, while Tottenham are hoping to clinch Moussa Sissoko‘s signature.
