Transfer panic looms as desperate clubs scramble for deals on deadline day.
As the clock ticks down to January's transfer deadline, desperation is starting to set in among Premier League teams. The £300m splurge seen so far this month - a staggering amount that only falls short of last year's record-breaking total - barely scratches the surface of the funds needed to save the season for struggling clubs.
Desperation breeds chaos and it seems like no team is immune from the panic. West Ham, Forest, Leeds and Palace are all rummaging through their shopping carts but can't seem to get past the checkout line, while West Ham have gone old school by signing two mysterious South Americans who've breathed new life into their fortunes.
Meanwhile, Manchester City and Aston Villa are bucking the trend of only splashing out when it's clear they're in trouble. But for teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle, the chequebook remains stubbornly shut.
As the Black Monday deadline looms closer, expect to see some truly eye-catching moves from desperate clubs. Will Charlton be able to pull off a stunner by signing Conor Coady, or will Hibs' Kieron Bowie find new life in Serie A with Verona? And what's the plan for Timo Werner and Ryan Fraser as they leave the Premier League behind?
While some teams are stuck in limbo, others are making the most of their reduced shopping list. Raheem Sterling has taken matters into his own hands by ending his Chelsea contract, while Harvey Elliott waits patiently to see if anyone will come calling.
And then there's Charlton's shock move for Conor Coady - and who knows what other surprises Panic Monday has in store?

The transfer market is always so unpredictable, and it's crazy to see how desperate some teams are trying to stay afloat. I think West Ham made some great signings, especially those two South American players - they're bringing a fresh vibe to the team. But at the same time, you can't help but feel for the smaller clubs like Charlton who are really struggling to make ends meet. 
Fingers crossed that Conor Coady's move works out for them and gives them some much-needed stability...
teams r really scraping the bottom of the barrel 2 get players lol 
i think wot im most surprised about is west ham signing those south americans tho 
who knew they had that kind of cash to splash around 
something fishy going on here 
meanwhile i'm here for harvey elliot seeing what other offers come his way...
theyre all like "oh no we cant lose this game so we need that player" and then they go wild signing anyone who will come out of their pocket 
Charltons move for Coady was a nice shock though and i love how sterling is taking matters into his own hands 
can we get some transfer magic this monday tho?? 
Anyway, I'm sure it'll be entertaining to watch the likes of Charlton trying to pull off some last-minute stunts. Conor Coady to Charlton? That's like the football equivalent of finding a unicorn in your backyard - it just might happen!

did you see manchester city just going all out tho? 
maybe theyll find some hidden gems like west ham did. gotta keep an eye on timo werner's next move, what does he want now? 
. I mean, what happened to their team last season? They should be spending money, not cutting it back 
. If they can pull it off, that'd be huge! But what about Hibs' Kieron Bowie? Is he really going to Serie A with Verona? 
. It feels like teams are getting more and more desperate, and it's hard to predict what's going to happen next. I'm not sure if the £300m splurge is enough to turn things around for these clubs or if they're just delaying the inevitable.
. Who knows, maybe we'll get some surprises on Panic Monday
