    Manager Simon Weaver added: "We are delighted to have Marchy back with us. He plays the game with lots of energy but also knows where the back of the net is. In his last spell with the club he scored freely and anytime he crossed that line you knew he was going to be a threat going forward.

    "He has an edge and that's what we like about him. Obviously, since he was last with us, he has had promotion experience with Stevenage and Forest Green. Having those experiences brings an understanding of what it takes to do well at this level."

    Ian Maatsen turns down Burnley return to stay at Chelsea

    Chelsea youngster Ian Maatsen rejected the chance to rejoin Burnley on transfer deadline day in favour of staying at Stamford Bridge.

    The 21-year-old was a key figure for the Clarets under Vincent Kompany last season, scoring four goals and registering six assists in 42 games to help propel Burnley back into the Premier League.

    Maatsen was subsequently given the chance to prove himself in pre-season under Mauricio Pochettino and impressed during the Blues' summer tour of the USA, scoring twice in a 5-0 win over Wrexham.

    The left-back has since made three competitive appearances for Chelsea this season, earning his first Premier League minutes against Liverpool and starting against AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Cup in midweek.

    PSG complete £81.5m deal for Randal Kolo Muani

    Paris Saint-Germain have finalised a €95m (£81.5m) deal for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Randal Kolo Muani.

    The France international has been fighting tooth and nail to engineer a move to the Parc des Princes during the final hours of the summer transfer window, but a move was seemingly dead in the water earlier on deadline day.

    While Kolo Muani had agreed personal terms with PSG some time ago, Frankfurt were determined to bring in a replacement before sanctioning the striker's exit and were eyeing PSG youngster Hugo Ekitike.

    However, Ekitike was not interested in a switch to the Bundesliga and was instead believed to be pining for a move to the Premier League amid links with Crystal Palace, Brentford and West Ham United, which did not materialise.

    Eric Garcia leaves Barcelona on loan for Girona

    Barcelona centre-back Eric Garcia has joined fellow La Liga side Girona on loan for the 2023-24 season.

    The Spain international departed Manchester City on a free transfer three years ago to return to Barcelona, where he spent nine years as a youth player between 2008 and 2017.

    Garcia has scored one goal and set up two more in 70 matches since touching back down in Catalonia, but he has struggled to earn regular starts since Xavi took the reins.

    With Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde and Andreas Christensen also battling for minutes, Garcia only made the first XI in 15 La Liga games during the Blaugrana's triumphant 2022-23 campaign.

    Crystal Palace have confirmed the signing of English centre-back Rob Holding on a permanent deal from Arsenal.

    The former Bolton Wanderers man arrives at Selhurst Park following a seven-year stay with the Gunners, who have supposedly received just £1m upfront for his sale.

    The fee could rise to £3.5m through performance-related add-ons, though, and Holding has agreed a three-year contract with Roy Hodgson's side until the end of the 2025-26 season.

    The 27-year-old is the fourth new arrival through the door at Selhurst Park this summer, following in the footsteps of Jefferson Lerma, Dean Henderson and Matheus Franca.

    La Liga outfit Getafe have signed Mason Greenwood on loan from Manchester United for the 2023-24 campaign in the final stages of the summer window.

    Last month, Man United announced that the 21-year-old's time at the club was over, but the forward has another two years left to run on his contract at Old Trafford.

    A permanent exit this summer was always believed to be unlikely due to the sensitive situation, but a loan move for the England international has been secured in the final stages of the market.

    In January 2022, following accusations from a woman, Greenwood was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault, and he was then further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.

    Bayern Munich 'miss out on Palhinha, Chalobah'

    Bayern Munich have reportedly failed with late moves for Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha and Chelsea centre-back Trevoh Chalobah.

    The Bundesliga champions were always in a race against the clock to sign the duo, with the German transfer window closing at 5pm UK time.

    According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Palhinha completed two rounds of medical tests with Bayern and also took a picture with the shirt of his potential new club, in addition to undergoing media duties.

    However, Romano claims that a deal is now '100% off' in a late twist.

    Notts County sign Lewis Macari on loan from Stoke


    "After losing Geraldo Bajrami we felt it was important to strengthen defensively, so we're delighted to have secured Lewis' services," read a statement from the County board.

    "Although he spent most of his time at Dundalk as a full-back, he is more than comfortable at centre-back and possesses all the attributes we look for in someone who can play on the right of a back three.

    "As well as being defensively sound, Lewis is energetic and an excellent crosser of the ball. We feel he can make positive contributions in attacking phases, as well as defensive.

    "With Kyle Cameron, Aden Baldwin, Richard Brindley, Connell Rawlinson and Ollie Tipton already in place, as well as Adam Chicksen who has proven himself more than capable in central positions, we're confident that we're now well covered in defence, as well as all other areas of the squad.

    "We wish Luke and the players well for what promises to be an exciting match against Accrington Stanley on Saturday."

    Louie Watson joins Charlton on loan from Luton


    "I'm absolutely buzzing to be here. I can't wait to get started and integrate with the boys," he told the club website.

    "Charlton is a young, exciting team with high ambition which is going to suit me as an individual. I feel like I am going to suit the team with my attributes and I feel like the other lads' attributes can suit me as well."

    Technical Director Andy Scott added: "Louie is a young player who left Derby and went to Luton and did very well. He has already made a number of appearances for Derby and has been involved with Luton's first team.

    "He is another player who is highly-regarded and their rise to the Premier League has given us this unique opportunity to get a young player with immense talent into our football club.

    "Unfortunately we have had a number of injuries in our midfield area and so the acquisition of Louie will complement the group well and give us more strength in depth."

    Manchester United have announced that experienced centre-back Jonny Evans has signed a one-year contract with the club, which will be valid until June 2024.

    "I'm delighted to be here at Dundee and I am really looking forward to getting started. I had my first training session today and met everyone and it's a great group and I am excited to get started," he told the club website.

    "Charlie Adam at Burnley gave me a phone and said I was coming up to Dundee which I was over the moon about. Charlie told me that the club is a great place to be with great players and a really good set-up. I want to get as many games as I can and pitch in with goals and assists to help the team."

    Manager Tony Docherty added: "Marcel is a young player that was brought to our attention, he has been at Chelsea and spent time in Belgium. He is a very productive attacking player who likes to drive at defenders.

    "He is also a technically gifted footballer, who has real ability on the ball and will help us be creative in that final third. He has been recommended by Jody Morris and Charlie Adam as an extremely creative player and has been brought in to enhance an already strong squad.
