Leyton Orient have signed Sweden goalkeeper Oliver Dovin on a season's loan from Coventry City and Tottenham Hotspur striker Dane Scarlett for an undisclosed fee.

Dovin, 24, made 30 first-team appearances after being signed by then Sky Blues boss Mark Robins from Swedish side Hammarby in August 2024.

He retained his place when Frank Lampard took charge - but he missed the rest of his debut season with a knee injury in March 2025 and now has Carl Rushworth and Ben Wilson ahead of him at Coventry.

Scarlett, 22, has signed a "long-term" contract at Orient.

Barnet have completed the loan signing of striker Damola Ajayi from Tottenham Hotspur on a season-long loan deal.

Ajayi, 20, has been in Spurs' academy set-up since 2022 having joined from Bromley as a teenager. He has made a single senior appearance for Tottenham's first team, scoring on his debut in a 3-0 win over Elfsborg in the Europa League in January 2025.

Later that year, Ajayi was an unused substitute as Spurs claimed the Europa League title at the expense of Manchester United, before he was loaned to Doncaster Rovers for the first half of last season.

The attacker scored twice in 19 appearances before returning to Bromley in January, who he helped to secure the League Two title in the spring.

Now, Ajayi is back out on loan again and back in the fourth tier with Barnet, who drew 1-1 at Exeter City on Tuesday night as deadline day drew to a close.

Bees manager Dean Brennan said: "Damola is a really exciting young player who gives us pace, energy and versatility at the top end of the pitch.

"He has been developed within an excellent academy at Tottenham and has already gained valuable experience in the EFL.

"We believe there is a lot more to come from him and we are delighted that he has chosen Barnet for the next stage of his career."

Ajayi becomes the 13th signing of Barnet's summer.

Tottenham have signed winger Mykhailo Mudryk and defender Tosin Adarabioyo from Chelsea on transfer deadline day.

Mudryk joins Spurs on loan until the end of the season while 28-year-old centre-back Adarabioyo has completed a permanent move worth up to £12m to the north London side.

As part of the agreement, Spurs have the option to turn Mudryk's move permanent for £75m.

The move reunites the Ukraine international, 25, with Spurs boss Roberto de Zerbi, who was his manager at Shakhtar Donetsk before his move to Chelsea in 2023.

"It's a great feeling and I can't wait to start training and playing for the club," Mudryk said.

"I'm a player who brings speed and creativity, and I want to help in both the offensive and defensive areas. I want to make the fans excited.

"I can see it's a strong squad here with good players, and I'm looking forward to sharing a pitch and special moments with them."

Mudryk resolved a doping case with the Football Association last month, but has not played a competitive match since November 2024.

Meanwhile, Adarabioyo's move makes him Spurs' 10th signing during a busy summer that has seen them spend over £300m on transfers.

"I'm in an important part of my career and speaking to the head coach and knowing the type of football he wants to play, I think it's a very good fit," Adarabioyo said.

"He wants the team to play with courage and that's something that I always look to do. I want to achieve the absolute best, to push this team and this club as much as possible to where we deserve to be."

The former England Under-19 international made 70 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Fulham in the summer of 2024.

He will replace Kevin Danso at Spurs following the Austria international's loan move to Sunderland.

Mudryk took part in Chelsea's pre-season tour of Australia and Asia, where he made his return in a friendly against Juventus in Hong Kong.

However, he was not included in Xabi Alonso's squad for the Premier League victories against Fulham and Brighton, or the Carabao Cup win against Luton.

Chelsea had been in talks with Leeds and rejected at least one offer for Mudryk, but Spurs entered the race at a late stage after failing in attempts to sign Iliman Ndiaye, who has since joined Manchester City from Everton, and Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo.

"Having worked with Misha earlier in his career, I know exactly what he can bring to our team," said De Zerbi.

"He has the quality to change a game with his speed and ability in one-vs-one situations, and is an exciting, attacking talent.

"I will demand a lot from Misha and it is our job to help him find the best version of himself. If we do that then he can become a very important player for us. I am very happy he chose to come here, and I cannot wait to work with him again."

He scored 10 goals and provided 11 assists in 73 games in all competitions for Chelsea.

Sunderland have completed the signing of Austria defender Kevin Danso from Tottenham on a loan deal until the end of the season.

The deal will cost the Black Cats £2.5m and will be made permanent next summer - for a fee of £22.5m - if Regis Le Bris' side stay in the Premier League.

"I'm really happy to be here and I can't wait to get started," said Danso.

"Sunderland is a big club with huge ambition, and I'm excited to be part of what we're building this season."

The 27-year-old - who made 52 appearances for Spurs after signing from RC Lens in January 2025 - will bolster Sunderland's squad ahead of their first European campaign since 1973.

Danso's exit from Spurs comes as Roberto de Zerbi's side close in on a move for Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo.

The 2025 Europa League winners had a bid accepted for the former Fulham and Manchester City defender on Monday night.

Adarabioyo, 28, came through the ranks at the Etihad before joining the Cottagers on a permanent deal in 2020.

In 2024, the defender joined Chelsea following the expiry of his contract with Fulham.

Since moving to Stamford Bridge, Adarabioyo has made more than 70 appearances for the Blues across all competitions, winning the Conference League and Club World Cup.

Tottenham defender Kota Takai has joined Belgian top-flight side Sint-Truidense VV on a season-long loan deal.

The 21-year-old is yet to make a senior appearance for the club, despite signing from J1 League club Kawasaki Frontale in July 2025.

Takai spent the second half of 2025-26 on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach, making eight appearances for the Bundesliga side before returning to north London.

Tottenham winger Mikey Moore has joined Bundesliga side Cologne on a season-long loan deal.

The 19-year-old academy graduate made his Premier League debut against Manchester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in May 2024.

He featured in the team that won the Under-17 and Under-18 Premier League Cup double in 2022-23.

Moore was also part of Spurs' Europa League-winning campaign during the 2024-25 season.

Meanwhile, full-back Souza has also left Tottenham on loan, joining Portuguese side Porto for the rest of the campaign.

Nottingham Forest have won their last four Premier League matches against Tottenham Hotspur – they’ve never won five league games in a row against Spurs.

Spurs won 2-0 in both 2022-23 and 2023-24 at the City Ground in the Premier League against Nottingham Forest – however, they have lost their last two trips in 2024-25 (0-1) and 2025-26 (0-3).

Nottingham Forest have won just one of their last 12 Premier League home games (D7 L4), beating Burnley 4-1 in April. They lost 1-0 to Leeds at the City Ground on MD1 but haven’t lost their first two home games in a top-flight campaign since 1924-25.

Spurs have lost 3-0 against Brentford and 2-0 against Newcastle in the Premier League this season. They’ve lost each of their first three league games in just four previous campaigns – 1912-13, 1958-59, 1974-75 and 1979-80.

Nottingham Forest have played the most long passes (146) in the Premier League this season, while Tottenham have made the second-fewest (68). It’s Forest’s highest ratio (20.9%) of long passes in any of their last five seasons and up 8.4% on last season’s figure (12.5%).

Tottenham Hotspur are one of three teams still without a Premier League goal in 2026-27, along with Aston Villa and Coventry. Spurs haven’t gone three league games without a goal since November 2021, while only in 1974-75 have they failed to score in their opening three in a league season.

Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner went 12 Premier League games unbeaten with Crystal Palace between April and September 2025; however, since October, only Scott Parker (18) has lost more Premier League games than the Austrian (16).

Only Bruno Fernandes (22) has been involved in more Premier League goals in 2026 than Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White (17 – 13 goals, 4 assists), with Gibbs-White’s 13 goals the most in the competition so far this year.

Spurs striker Dominic Solanke has been involved in six goals in four league appearances against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground (4 goals, 2 assists), including his only senior career hat-trick to date (for Bournemouth in December 2023).

Igor Jesus has applied 135 high-intensity pressures to opponents in the Premier League this season, with only Hull’s Oliver McBurnie (164) making more. The Nottingham Forest forward ranks top for duels won (21) and aerial duels won (16) in the competition so far this campaign, while only Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur (6) has made more fouls (5) than Jesus.

Chelsea have accepted offers from Tottenham for winger Mykhailo Mudryk and defender Tosin Adarabioyo, as well as a bid from Italian club Como for goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

The trio are now expected to leave Stamford Bridge, subject to agreeing personal terms, with Spurs keen to secure Mudryk, 25, and reunite him with his former manager Roberto de Zerbi.

The Ukraine international has not played a competitive match since November 2024, serving a suspension that followed an adverse finding for the banned substance meldonium, but he has been eligible to play football since July.

Mudryk previously played under De Zerbi at Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk before moving to Chelsea for an initial £61m.

Spurs will also sign Chelsea defender Adarabioyo, 28, on a permanent deal to replace Kevin Danso, who is set to join Sunderland on an initial loan.

In addition, Como, who signed defender Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea for £31m earlier in the transfer window, have agreed a season-long loan move for Sanchez.

Sanchez, 28, was made available for loan or permanent transfer after two mistakes in Chelsea's opening Premier League match at Fulham led to the Blues conceding twice.

Chelsea have since signed a replacement, bringing in Argentine Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa for £7.5m.

There remains uncertainty over the future of Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez, who is attracting interest from Manchester City, although no formal offer has been made.
