The transfer market is officially on fire! 🔥 Rio Ferdinand is back on Rio Reacts breaking down massive deadline moves and breaking news across the Premier League.

Manchester United are closing in on Brighton midfield powerhouse Carlos Baleba in a £60m + £5m add-on deal. Rio breaks down why United’s recruitment patience finally paid off after Brighton demanded £100m last summer, and how Baleba reuniting with former Lille teammate Leny Yoro and fellow Cameroon star Bryan Mbeumo creates instant chemistry alongside Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.

Down in North London, Arsenal are in advanced talks to land Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa. With William Saliba and Jurriën Timber carrying knocks, Mikel Arteta is bringing in the Premier League's top ground-duel winner to lock down his title defence.

Meanwhile, Unai Emery's Aston Villa are under serious siege as Al-Hilal make an aggressive push to sign Ollie Watkins on massive wages. With Tielemans gone, Konsa linked away, and Watkins targeted by Saudi Arabia, is Villa's spine completely falling apart?
