What happened on transfer deadline day around Europe? Mauro Icardi, Bobby Duncan, Ryan Kent and Henrikh Mkhitaryan all move clubs

On a busy transfer deadline day, Henrikh Mkhitaryan joined Roma on loan, while Liverpool sold youth team striker Bobby Duncan to Fiorentina.

Mkhitaryan made 59 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal, scoring nine goals.

It is understood the Italian club will pay all of his £180,000-a-week wages and have an obligation to sign him on a permanent deal next summer, which is thought to be triggered by him playing 25 matches.

Fiorentina have reportedly paid £1.7million up front for Duncan, scorer of 32 goals for the under-18s in his first season since arriving from Manchester City in 2018 and there is also a 20 per cent sell-on fee for the player.

Matteo Darmian, meanwhile, is the fourth player to leave Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United side for Serie A this summer, with Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez having joined Inter before Chris Smalling made his loan switch to Roma last week.

The full-back has returned to Italy to join Parma and the deal is also believed to include a sell-on clause, with the Italy international signing a deal until 2023 at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.

Darmian joined United in 2015 from Torino in a reported £12.7million deal and went on to represent the club 92 times in all competitions.

Solskjaer confirmed on Friday a move was on the cards for the full-back and later reiterated Paul Pogba would not be leaving for Real Madrid or anywhere else before the European deadline.
