Sky Bet look at six of the potential big moves on Deadline Day in the Premier League and Football League.
A host of football's biggest names have been linked with moves this summer, but working out which deals have legs and which ones are full of hot air can be difficult.
We consulted the Sky Bet trading room and their 'Transfer Specials' to gauge which deals are likely to go ahead...
Charlie Austin
Will Charlie Austin still be at QPR come Tuesday evening? For all the rumour and intrigue, a Premier League club has yet to snap up the 26-year-old, who impressed with 18 goals in his debut top-flight season last term. Austin already has four Sky Bet Championship goals so far and doesn't appear short of suitors as the clock ticks down. Manchester United have moved to 2/1 favourites in Sky Bet's 'Next Austin club' betting and the Red Devils definitely need a striker after losing Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao over the summer. West Brom (4/1), Newcastle (5/1) and Bournemouth (6/1) are also reported to hold a serious interest in the former Burnley player. Any deal to West Brom would depend on Saido Berahino leaving The Hawthorns, but that is a possibility with Tottenham remaining keen on the young goal-getter.
Most likely outcome: Joins West Brom
Sky Bet's odds on Austin's future...
Saido Berahino
Tottenham, at 13/8 with Sky Bet, are the club leading the way in chasing the signature of West Brom forward Berahino. The England U21 international has been linked with a move to White Hart Lane throughout the summer but the signing of Bayer Leverkusen forward Son Heung-min last week may have seen that interest cool. Another striker appears still needed at Spurs though with Harry Kane goalless so far this season and Emmanuel Adebayor's time at the club seemingly over. West Brom have already rejected two bids from Tottenham for Berahino but a third offer could well set a chain of striker deals across the Premier League in motion.
Most likely outcome: Joins Tottenham

John Stones
'Money can't buy you Stones'. That's what the Everton fans have been singing to the tune of the Beatles hit 'Can't Buy Me Love' but is the claim of the Toffees faithful true? In the long-term it isn't, as every player has their price at all-but the very top Champions League sides. However, Roberto Martinez and Bill Kenwright have been resolute in their stance that John Stones will not be leaving Goodison Park this summer and it would be a massive U-turn to break that stance. Chelsea's interest is known but it doesn't look like Jose Mourinho will be able to get his man before 1800 BST on Tuesday. That's why the defender is 1/5 with Sky Bet to stay at Everton.
Most likely outcome: Stays at Everton
Sky Bet's odds on Stones' future...
Emmanuel Adebayor
Tottenham forward Emmanuel Adebayor is again a potential mover as we reach another Deadline Day. The Togo international has already played for Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham during his Premier League career and is likely to add another destination to his CV. West Ham are the even-money favourites to sign the striker and that looks a great way for Slaven Bilic to boost his attacking options. Aston Villa, managed by Adebayor's former boss Tim Sherwood, are also reported to be in the running but the Hammers have the edge in this transfer tangle.
Most likely outcome: Joins West Ham

Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Dare to Zlatan? It's a question posed to a number of Europe's top clubs during the transfer window but it looks likely that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will remain at PSG when the music stops this summer. Manchester United are the 8/1 favourites to sign the legendary Sweden striker but a return to AC Milan (12/1) is the most likely option if a deal can be agreed. PSG would be reluctant to let the move happen.
Most likely outcome: Stays at PSG

Jordan Rhodes
Blackburn striker Jordan Rhodes has been the central figure in the Sky Bet Championship's main transfer saga this summer. The Scotland international has been reportedly linked with Middlesbrough and Aitor Karanka's side are the 6/1 favourites to complete a deal before the window slams shut. Sunderland (8/1) and Sheffield Wednesday (10/1) are also in the running for the forward and it's the Owls who could complete a surprise swoop. Wednesday look set to be frustrated in their bid for Fulham's Ross McCormack and Rhodes provides an exciting alternative.
Most likely outcome: Joins Sheffield Wednesday
