Liverpool FC's activity on the final day of the January transfer window has sparked unprecedented levels of traffic to the official website with over 1.1 million fans visiting the site by 10pm, generating a record 8.5 million page impressions. To safeguard the stability of the website after it was announced a fee had been agreed with Newcastle United for Andy Carroll, the homepage was removed and replaced with this live news blog – which is being updated around the clock by our team of journalists with all the latest news.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused by this temporary but unavoidable change to the website. However, you can still watch videos, visit the online store and interact with fellow fans on The Kop, our new social media platform.
