Tottenham signs Sessegnon and lo Celso on deadline day

After going more than a year without signing players — and still reaching the Champions League final — Tottenham made the biggest moves on the Premier League's transfer deadline day.

Not content with breaking its transfer record fee last month, Spurs also signed winger Ryan Sessegnon and midfielder Giovani lo Celso on Thursday.

The English club ended 18 months of transfer inactivity in July when it signed midfielder Tanguy Ndombele for a clubrecord 60 million euros ($68 million).

Spurs paid Fulham 25 million pounds ($30 million) for the 19year-old Sessegnon, with the England Under-21 international signing a six-year deal.

Lo Celso has joined on a yearlong loan from Real Betis with the option to make the transfer permanent.

The 23-year-old has played 19 times for Argentina.

Spurs lost 2-0 to Liverpool in the Champions League final in June. It finished fourth in the Premier League last season, 27 points behind winner Manchester City.

It had also hoped to sign Juventus forward Paulo Dybala but the Italian club decided not to sell the Argentina international.

Other Premier League clubs could still lose players. Although the transfer window is shut in England, it is still open in other countries.

ARSENAL

Arsenal added two defenders to the squad in the final hours of trading.

David Luiz left Chelsea for the second time, moving across London to Arsenal.

The 32-year-old center back had signed a new two-season contract in May with Chelsea, which the center back rejoined from Paris Saint-Germain in 2016.

But the Brazilian left Stamford Bridge before playing a competitive match under new manager Frank Lampard. Luiz played under Arsenal manager Unai Emery at PSG.

Joining Luiz will be left back Kieran Tierney, who moved from Celtic for 25 million pounds ($30 million).

After making 170 appearances for Celtic, the 22-year-old Scot said leaving his boyhood club "was the hardest decision in my whole life that I've had to make."

"The ambition was Celtic and that was my dream when I was younger. But when you get older ... I've done that, I've made my dream, I've lived my dream and I've loved every single minute of it," Tierney said.

"Now I just feel was the right time to take a step on. I feel this is a great opportunity for me." NEWCASTLE

Andy Carroll moved back to boyhood club Newcastle following his release by West Ham following an injury-troubled spell in east London.

The 30-year-old striker scored 31 goals in 80 league appearances for Newcastle before joining Liverpool for 35 million pounds ($42 million) in 2011.

MANCHESTER CITY

Veteran goalkeeper Scott Carson moved to Manchester City on a season-long loan from Derby County.

The 33-year-old Carson will serve as an understudy to Ederson and Claudio Bravo.

"It's an honor to have signed for City on loan," Carson said. "It's something I didn't expect but an opportunity I simply could not turn down. To be part of this squad — the Champions of England — is a dream come true."

Carson, who counts West Bromwich Albion and Liverpool among his former teams, made four appearances for England.

WATFORD

Watford broke its club record transfer fee to sign Senegal winger Ismaila Sarr from Rennes.

No financial details were disclosed but Watford says it is a "new club record transfer." British media reported that Watford paid Rennes more than 25 million pounds ($30 million) for Sarr, surpassing the 18.5 million pounds ($22.5 million) it paid for Andre Gray in 2017.

Sarr, who scored 18 goals in 77 appearances for Rennes over two seasons, has signed a fiveyear contract with Watford.

The 21-year-old helped Senegal reach the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, where it lost to Algeria last month.

Belgium forward Lukaku joins Inter Milan from Man United

Inter Milan completed the signing of Belgium forward Romelu Lukaku from Manchester United on Thursday.

Lukaku put pen to paper on a five-year deal with Inter, joining his younger brother in the Italian league. Jordan Lukaku plays for Serie A rival Lazio.

No financial details were given, but Italian media reported that Inter paid United around 65 million euros ($73 million) plus 13 million euros ($15 million) in bonuses for the 26-year-old Lukaku.

"Inter were the only club I wanted, because Inter is 'Not For Everyone.' I'm here to bring the Nerazzurri back to the top," Lukaku said.

"Not For Everyone" is Inter's new marketing slogan.

Lukaku will add some muchneeded firepower to a team that managed only 57 league goals last season — well below the three teams that finished above it in Serie A.

Inter's chief goal scorer Mauro Icardi was stripped of the captaincy and dropped from the squad midway through the season.

Attacking midfielder Radja Nainggolan performed way below expectations and has been sent to Cagliari on loan by new coach Antonio Conte, who was in charge at Chelsea from 201618.

Excitement is already building for Lukaku, who was greeted by more than 200 fans when he arrived at Milan's Malpensa airport at 2 a.m. Thursday. They chanted his name, and he smiled and high-fived several fans as he walked past.

Lukaku, who has been training this week with former club Anderlecht, scored 42 times in 96 matches for United after joining from Everton in 2017.

However, he failed to find the net in any of his final eight appearances for the club, with his last goals coming in the dramatic 3-1 win at Paris Saint-Germain in early March.

Lukaku is the top goal scorer in the history of the Belgian national team with 48 goals in 81 games. He helped the team to third place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

US defender Carter-Vickers joins Stoke on loan from Spurs

U.S. national team defender Cameron Carter-Vickers has joined second-tier Stoke on a season-long loan from Tottenham.

Stoke announced the deal on the English League's transfer deadline day on Thursday.

Carter-Vickers progressed from the youth team at Spurs, but the 21-year-old has yet to make a Premier League appearance
