Transfer Special: Arsenal £50m swoop, Man Utd £26.4m bid, Chelsea's rejections, Spurs flop

These four players did not get their late deadline day moves

NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you the transfers that didn't happen on deadline day.

Manchester United made Anthony Martial the most expensive teenager in the world, Manchester City paid over £50m for Kevin De Bruyne and West Ham signed four players on deadline day.
The last few days of the transfer window have been hectic for almost all clubs in the Premier League, with it being their last chance for wheeling and dealing until 2016.

But there have been a rather large number of deals that didn't go through - most notably David De Gea's move to Real Madrid.

Here's four moves that nearly happened, but just weren't to be in the end.

Edinson Cavani to Arsenal
Arsenal wanted a striker. Cavani wanted a move. Arsene Wenger was in Paris. Cavani plays for Paris Saint-Germain. It was almost perfectly set up on deadline day for the Uruguayan to head to the Emirates.

But, as the Daily Mirror report, Cavani was valued at £50m by PSG. Deal over, Wenger out.

Hakan Calhanoglu to Manchester United
United were busy completing their staggering £36m - rising to £58m - move for France hotshot Martial on deadline day whilst trying to clear up the mess that was the De Gea saga. But the Red Devils apparently found time to lodge a £26.4m bid for Turkish sensation Calhanoglu.

Whether United boss Louis van Gaal needs another attacking midfielder in his squad (strikers, Louis!) is up for debate but Owen Hargreaves seems convinced about this 21-year-old's talents, saying: "I love Calhanoglu I think he's gonna be a superstar, honestly he's one of the best strikers of the ball you'll see."

Maybe one that will crop up again in January…

Five defenders to Chelsea
Chelsea signed two defenders on deadline day for a combined £6.75m -  Nantes' Senegal international Papy Djilobodji and Reading's Jamaican centre-back Michael Hector.

But Blues boss Jose Mourinho had set his sights a little higher, principally on Everton star John Stones. But when it became clear the Toffees would not sell (even for £40m) Mourinho was forced into action.

Express Sport understands in the last 48 hours, Chelsea had two bids rejected for PSG ace Marquinhos, were rebuffed by Real Madrid for Raphael Varane and Zenit St Petersburg's Ezequiel Garay and saw £22m Monaco star Aymen Abdennour join Valencia.

Ouch.

Saido Berahino to Tottenham
Berahino really wanted this one to happen, so much so he tweeted his displeasure at West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace before the window had even shut. Tottenham's last offer for the England striker was around £23m, but the Baggies had made up their minds not to sell.

Peace accused Spurs counterpart Daniel Levy of unsettling the 22-year-old, who now faces an uncomfortable return to the Hawthorns.

Commendable of West Brom to stand their ground but should Berahino maintain his claim to strike, a January move seems inevitable.
