Two huge deals are set to be confirmed before the close of the window at 11pm, with Andy Carroll joining Liverpool from Newcastle for £35million and Fernando Torres set to move to Chelsea for an extraordinary £50million.
As the dramatic events unfolded throughout Monday, a number of players took to Twitter to express their surprise at some of the deals.

His Arsenal team-mate Robin van Perise also expressed his shock at the huge transfers going through, posting: ‘BIG spending this transfer window! Didn't expect this at all. Curious what gonna happen these last couple of hours!!!’
