EPL Transfer Deadline News: Scott Dann, Craig Bellamy and 23 Top Rumours

The news piles in as the time is ticking away, with less than 48 hours now left in the current transfer window.

English teams have been wheeling and dealing to try and get as much done before Wednesday evening's cut off, and there look to be some exciting moves in the hours to come.

Several big names have moved around in the World Football scene as well as in England. Diego Forlan's move to Inter Milan has been a hot topic in Europe's transfer scene, as he hopes to fill the empty boots of Samuel Eto'o.

Elsewhere several loan deals look to have been completed, or are in the works, and it is shaping up to be a delightfully tasty transfer deadline run-in over the next two days.

Vladimir Weiss Heads to Espanyol on Loan

Manchester City have continued their transfer dealings, with the second straight loan spell for Vladimir Weiss being confirmed confirmed this afternoon.

His move to Glasgow Rangers in Scotland was a big success last season, but was not enough to see him return to a place in the Citizens first eleven.

This season will now see him make a loan move to Barcelona's second team, Espanyol.

Raul Meireles Not Moving to Chelsea

Andre Villas-Boas has had a Yossi Benayoun plus £8 million in cash deal for Raul Meireles rejected by Liverpool.

The Portuguese manager looked to bring in his fellow countryman to Stamford Bridge for a reunion of the two since their last meeting at FC Porto.

However, the player will most likely not be going anywhere since the loan of Alberto Aquilani to AC Milan.

Davide Santon in Talks with Newcastle United

Inter Milan's hottest defensive prospect Davide Santon could be on his way to Tyneside, if the Northern Italians accept the Magpies believed offer of £5 million.

The most northern club in all of the EPL has been quietly assembling a decent squad this summer, and their in form goalkeeper Tim Krul continues to keep them in matches.

Santon would be a great signing for Allen Pardew as he continues to move the Toon in the right direction.

Scott Parker to Tottenham

West Ham United's most talented midfielder is nearing a move to London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

However, the clubs are still yet to agree a deal with the valuation of the player flipping back and forth between £1 million and up to £4.5 million.

The injury of Rafael Van Der Vaart at the weekend, and the impending Luka Modric transfer deadline deal, is prompting Spurs to finalize their dealings as soon as possible.

Joe Cole to QPR

Kenny Dalglish believes it would be in the best interest for Joe Cole to make a move, and he has agreed not to stand in the player's way if he finds a club interested in him.

Queens Park Rangers could be just the club, as he is still believed to be tipped for a possible loan move to Loftus Road.

Owen Hargreaves Should Be Back in Action This Season

Former Manchester United injury prone star, Owen Hargreaves, looks to have possible new home at either West Bromwich Albion, Tottenham or Aston Villa.

The England international has had a tough run of things since lifting the UEFA Champions League Trophy with Manchester United in 2008.

However, his fitness has impressed in medicals according to the Daily Mail, and he could have a new pitch on which to perform by the end of the window.

Andre Dos Santos Joins Arsenal

In what is surely to be a deal that many proclaim as not good enough, Arsene Wenger has signed £6.2 million valued Brazilian left back Andre Dos Santos from Fenerbache. The Turkish club is in the midst of turmoil and the player jumped at the chance to get out.

He is reported to be accepting a four-year contract for an estimated £40,000-a week, and will slot into the first team replacing Carl Jenkinson.

Saloman Kalou to Move to Lille

Chelsea winger Saloman Kalou looks to have been deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, and could be sold to French club Lille.

The loss of Gervinho to Arsenal has seen the French club looking for his replacement, and Kalou could be their best option.

Shaun Wright-Phillips to Make a Move

Manchester City's out of favor winger Shaun Wright-Phillips could be in line to complete a move to Queens Park Rangers in the next 48 hours.

In what is believed to be a £2 million deal which would then see the played earn a £3-million a-year contract.

Alvaro Pereira to Join Chelsea

Andre Villas-Boas looks to raid his former club FC Porto for Alvaro Pereira in what could be a £26.5 million last minute deal.

The Chelsea Manager looks to continue his revamp of the squad, but will likely have to move several players in order to make more changes.

David N'Gog Should Go to Bolton

The speculation of Liverpool reserve team striker David N'Gog moving to Bolton Wanderers has been increasingly on the rise in the last two days.

A 4 million move is believed to be on the table according to the Daily Mirror, and Owen Coyle wants to get the deal sorted as soon as possible to avoid trying to finalize it even more at the last minute than it already is.

Alex Will Most Likely Leave for Juventus

Chelsea central defender Alex is poised for a believed £8 million switch to Italian giants Juventus. The Old Lady need a solid center half to protect their star keeper Gianluigi Buffon.

At 29 years old Alex is probably moving due to his new manager wanting to bring in some youthful vigor to the club.

Alan Hutton to Be Loaned to Aston Villa

Tottenham defender Alan Hutton looks to be set for a possible loan switch to Aston Villa to fill a void in Alex McLeash's defense.

The player has already had a spot cleared out for him and would be a welcome addition to a back line in need of new blood.

Christian Poulsen Loaned to Espanyol

Liverpool continue to look at offloading fringe players, with Christian Poulsen one of the latest to be tipped with a loan move away from Anfield.

Despite wishing to stay and compete for his place in the squad Poulsen could be staring down a loan to Barcelona club Espanyol.

Wilson Palacios to Make Stoke City Switch

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Wilson Palacios looks on the verge of a £7 million move to the Britannia Stadium.

Tony Pulis has been chasing the Tottenham player all summer along with his teammate Peter Crouch. With the later most likely not going to be involved in a double switch, Palacios will be the first of several last minute Spurs deals to go out.

Peter Crouch to Stoke or Sunderland

Tottenham's other major transfer saga aside from Luka Modric has been that of Peter Crouch. The high towering English forward has been sought after all summer by Stoke City almost unrelentingly, and now Sunderland look to have thrown their name in the pot.

With multiple options still available in attack even if Crouch were to leave, Harry Redknapp could be tempted to get value where he can.

Craig Bellamy Not Going Anywhere

Liverpool have been in the hunt in the past weeks, but today looks to have called an end to Craig Bellamy's possible return to Anfield.

The player is now no longer likely to leave Manchester City unless a deal is finalized for him to have the last year of his £90,000-a week contract settled.

Without that in place he will most likely rot away on the Eastland's reserve pitch this season.

Yossi Benayoun a Valuable Commodity Apparently

Chelsea's Yossi Benayoun has been one of the most speculated players to move over the last week or so.

He is currently linked with Arsenal, Liverpool, Lille and Tottenham as a filler for Luka Modric if he goes to Chelsea. It is almost certain he will be making a move by Wednesday.

Papiss Demba Cisse to Make Sunderland Move

Steve Bruce has been looking for an additional striker as he has had a frustrating start to the season in attack, with Frazier Campbell going down for most likely the season.

FC Freiburg striker Papiss Demba Cisse could be headed to the North East as Asamoah Gyan's newest strike partner. If the deal is right it is expected to be at least £13 million.

Luka Modric to Chelsea

Chelsea again have been after Tottenham to offload their key midfield creative force in Luka Modric. The latest offer believed to be in the range of £40 million.

Tottenham could finally accept a transfer offer as they are in dire need of funds to make a move or two before the window closes.

Cameron Jerome to Stoke City

The Potters are still in pursuit of an additional strike partner for Kenwyne Jones. Failed moves for Peter Crouch and Carlton Cole have left Tony Pulis in hunt of Birmingham striker Cameron Jerome.

If the Blues player does make the switch, the current projected fee is around £3.75 million according to the Daily Mirror.

Zdenek Grygera Makes Fulham Move

Martin Jol at Fulham may just have pulled off one of the deals of the season, as he has signed former Juventus defender Zdenek Grygera.

He comes in on a one-year deal that is only costing the club £20,000-a week, with Juventus covering the other £120,000-a week of his wages.

The move looks to have cleared the way for Chelsea's Alex to make his switch to Turin.

The player will be a welcome addition next to Brede Hangeland at the back.

Armand Traore Joins QPR

Arsenal have parted ways with defender Armand Traore as the youngster has been sold to Queens Park Rangers.

The only start he has made for the Gunners in the last year was their 8-2 demolition at the hands of Manchester Untied on Sunday, and it looks to be his final memory of the club.

Chu-Young Park to Arsenal

Chu-Young Park looks to be all set for the completion of his deal with Arsenal as he completed the last of his medical exams today. He is expected to finalize a £10 million deal by the end of Tuesday.

Arsenal look to have completely taken the wind out of Lille's sails as the French club thought they had the South Korean star wrapped up until Arsenal joined the race.

Scott Dann Becomes a Rover

Blackburn Rovers have announced the signature of Birmingham City defender Scott Dann, after agreeing a £5 million fee with the Blues.

City were resigned to lose him after their relegation to the Championship, but fought hard to retain him despite major interest from both Liverpool and Arsenal.

Conclusion

The deals are all over the place to get completed in time, and there will be so much going on in the next two days that we will not be left wanting for drama or excitement in the final hours of the transfer window.

It is sure to be one of the busiest last two days in England that have been seen in recent seasons, and the buzz around the moves is great at the moment.
