15 stars who can create 'blockbusters' on the final day of the transfer window
Costa and Coutinho are likely to leave England, while Mbappe, Alexis Sanchez and Drinkwater could bring in big-money signings.
Diego Costa
Chelsea and Atletico are negotiating a transfer fee for Costa, who has said he will only return to Madrid after leaving England. Atletico could have to pay 50 million dollars and loan Costa to another club for the first half of the season. Due to a FIFA ban, the Spanish club will have to wait until January 2018 to register new players.
Chances of success: 7.5/10
Virgil Van Dijk
Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City have all shown interest in the 26-year-old Dutch centre-back, while Southampton have said they will not sell. If they want to buy him, the English giants will have to pay a huge price, no less than Man City's purchase of Kyle Walker or Benjamin Mendy.
Chances of success: 4/10
Philippe Coutinho
Barca could land Coutinho on their fourth bid, for around $150 million. The problem is Liverpool want $180 million and a high upfront fee. If successful, this would be a record transfer for Liverpool and English football.
Chances of success: 4.5/10
Ross Barkley
Chelsea and Tottenham have both made enquiries for Barkley, including a £25m bid rejected this week. With the 23-year-old having just one year left on his contract, Everton are likely to sell on transfer deadline day.
Chances of success: 6/10
Thomas Lemar
Liverpool have moved ahead of Arsenal and Tottenham in the race for Lemar. The Anfield club could have to pay up to $90 million for the Monaco star. Striker Divock Origi could move to Monaco as part of the deal.
Chances of success: 4/10
Kylian Mbappe
Mbappe is completing the final procedures to prepare to join PSG. Having spent too much money on Neymar, PSG must avoid violating financial fair play regulations. A possible solution is to borrow Mbappe for a season from Monaco and buy him outright next summer.
Chances of success: 9/10
Alexis Sanchez
Sanchez wanted to leave Arsenal from the beginning of the summer and has not given up yet. By accepting to sell the Chilean star, the Emirates team wants to collect about 85 million dollars. This is not a very feasible number because the transfer market is only a few days away. Arsenal also just rejected a 65 million offer from Man City.
Chances of success: 6.5/10
Serge Aurier
While Tottenham want to buy and PSG also want to sell, the problem that is blocking the deal is Aurier's personal. The 24-year-old defender was convicted for a brawl with Paris police, which is worrying the British authorities. If successful, PSG could earn 30 million dollars from the transfer.
Chances of success: 5/10
Ivan Perisic
Jose Mourinho spent the summer chasing Perisic and was disappointed. With the Croatian winger set to renew his contract with Inter, Man Utd's chances are slim.
Chances of success: 2/10
Raheem Sterling
Sterling could be a surprise on transfer deadline day as part of a deal for Man City to sign Alexis Sanchez. According to initial information, Arsenal will only accept the sale if the money comes with Aguero, not Sterling.
Chances of success: 4.5/10
Fernando Llorente
Chelsea are keen to sign a back-up striker for Morata, and Llorente is their number one target. The Swansea striker could cost the defending champions £20 million. Llorente played a season at Juventus under current Chelsea manager Antonio Conte.
Chances of success: 8/10
Shkodran Mustafi (left)
Arsenal are ready to sell the German midfielder after just one season of ownership. Internal problems and disagreements with manager Wenger are the reasons for Mustafi's departure. Inter Milan and Juventus are two teams that are very interested in Mustafi.
Chances of success: 6/10
Danny Drinkwater
Chelsea are only willing to pay a maximum of $45 million, while Leicester want $53 million. The small gap between the two teams could make the deal easier to complete on transfer deadline day.
Chances of success: 7/10

Liverpool no longer need Sakho, who played on loan at Crystal Palace last season. Crystal Palace can spend 40 million dollars to sign the French midfielder.
Chances of success: 8/10
