Both Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi are undergoing medicals ahead of respective moves from Newcastle United and Crystal Palace.

As the ECHO understands, over the weekend Liverpool have agreed a British-record £125m deal for Isak's transfer - the striker arrived at the AXA Training Centre on Monday morning for his medical.

Well, almost.

Clubs are still able get a few deals completed after the deadline should they submit an official transfer deal sheet.

By doing so a club can be afforded additional time to get a deadline day transfer over the line.

It first opened on June 1 before closing again on June 10 ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, then reopened again on June 16.

The deadline has also been moved slightly earlier this year and is now scheduled at 7pm, whereas before it was previously 11pm.

A transfer deal sheet is a document that allows clubs to officially confirm that a transfer agreement has been reached before the transfer deadline passes.

Once it has been filled out, that club is then given an extra two hours after the deadline to seal a transfer.

They were introduced into the Premier League in 2008 due to a number of transfers collapsing due to paperwork issues.

If they need to apply for Isak, Guehi, or both cases, Liverpool would be given an extra two hours to ensure any additional paperwork is completed and ratified.

That would give them until 9:00pm on Monday to complete their deals.

But they must be able to submit evidence that a deal has been agreed between the clubs involved ahead of the deadline.

This will not be an issue with £125m ready to be paid for Isak and £35m plus a 10 per cent sell-on clause for Guehi.

Transfer deadline day is almost upon us and Liverpool still have business to do.

Liverpool remain interested in a deal for the Swede.

Meanwhile, Marc Guehi has been a player of interest all summer and Liverpool could still launch a last-minute deal for the Crystal Palace defender.
