Transfer deadline day round-up: Joao Cancelo joins Bayern Munich in loan deal

Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo has joined Bayern Munich on loan for the remainder of the season.

Bayern's unexpected swoop for Cancelo is understood to include an option for the German giants to buy the 28-year-old Portugal international for €70m in the summer.

Cancelo said: "FC Bayern is a great club, one of the best in the world, and it’s enormous motivation for me to now play alongside these extraordinary players in a team."

News of the deal came as a surprise when it was first reported on Monday. Cancelo has been a key member of Pep Guardiola’s side that have won the Premier League in the past two seasons.

Yet Cancelo has found game time limited since returning from the World Cup and there have been reports he had become a disruptive influence in the dressing room.

Newcastle have followed up their signing of Anthony Gordon from Everton by securing Scotland Under-21 full-back Harrison Ashby from West Ham for a reported £3m.

Ashby, 21, has been signed with an eye on the future and manager Eddie Howe told nufc.co.uk: "Harrison is a very talented young player with a lot of potential so we are delighted to sign him and are looking forward to working with him in this exciting new chapter of his career."

Ashby, who has made seven senior appearances for the Hammers, added: "I can’t get the smile off my face and it’s a proud day for me and my family."

Bournemouth have agreed a fee with Dynamo Kiev for defender Ilya Zabarnyi and the 20-year-old is now due to undergo a medical.

Leeds have also signed a player for the future in 18-year-old centre-back Diogo Monteiro from Swiss Super League side Servette FC.
