Hull City have signed midfielder Tim Iroegbunam from Everton in a £22m deal and secured a loan agreement with option to buy for Robinio Vaz from Roma.
Iroegbunam, 23, leaves the Toffees after two years at the club for an initial £13m, although the fee could rise by a further £9m with add-ons, and has signed a five-year deal with The Tigers.
Roma have confirmed France Under-20 international Vaz, 19, has also joined the Premier League club on deadline day to further bolster their attack.
The Tigers have also secured forward Ilyas Ansah from Union Berlin and agreed a £12m deal for Genoa right-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy.
English full-back Cody Drameh, who has featured in all three of Hull's games this season, is heading in the opposite direction to Norton-Cuffy - with Genoa set to pay £3.4m.

Everton have received a significant late boost in their attempt to sign Brooke Norton-Cuffy from Genoa, according to a report by Kaustubh Pandey for Sport Witness, drawing on quotes translated from Italian outlets Genova24 and Secolo XIX. Genoa head coach Daniele De Rossi publicly confirmed that a late-window sale is a genuine possibility, and that discussions could move fast after their Serie A fixture against Napoli. That's a fairly open door from a manager whose club have, crucially, already identified a replacement in Como's Ignace Van Der Brempt.
Giving Everton transfer hope, he said – via Genova24: "As long as he's here, he'll play. He's training well. I think he's better than last year. I know the transfer market issues well. At most, I'll talk about it after the match."
The financials make this one genuinely attractive for Everton. Genoa originally signed Norton-Cuffy for just €2m, so even at the €20m asking price, they would be pocketing a healthy profit and negotiating from a relaxed position. For Everton, the reported £17m fee is modest by current market standards for an English full-back with real Premier League-ready qualities.
Norton-Cuffy, 22, is an England under-21 international who spent time with ******* nal's academy before building genuine senior experience across multiple loan spells in English football. That background means there is no adaptation period to account for, no bedding-in process, no language barrier. He has recorded 44 appearances across two Serie A seasons with Genoa, including 27 this campaign with two goals, one ******* ist and 25 starts.

Everton are reportedly mulling over a move for Genoa defender Brooke Norton-Cuffy, according to The I Paper.
While the Toffees are considering Alistair Johnston and Aaron Wan-Bissaka to sort their right-back conundrum, the Englishman is also on their list of targets.
Everton boss David Moyes will be desperate to land a new right-back following Seamus Coleman's exit. Nathan Patterson has struggled to stay fit.
The Merseyside club was forced to field Jake O'Brien at right-back last season, but he'd rather line up in his natural centre-half position, forcing them into the transfer market.
The England Under-21 international impressed in Serie A last term, bagging two goals and an **** ist in 27 appearances, helping to keep two clean sheets along the way.

Everton have stepped up their pursuit of Genoa right-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy. Representatives and intermediaries connected to the Italian side are already locked in fresh talks. Genoa look ready to sell the 22-year-old this summer if someone meets their valuation. They want around €20 million, which pans out at roughly £17 million.
It is a price tag that sits comfortably within the current budget at Goodison Park, and club chiefs view it as a highly realistic target. The player is keen too. A return to the Premier League holds massive appeal, especially with the guarantee of regular top-flight minutes on the table. Settling into the dressing room should be a breeze. He already knows several faces in David Moyes’s squad, having shared pitches with Tyrique George, Tyler Dibling, and Hayden Hackney during his time with the England Under-21s.
Born in Pimlico and polished in the ***** nal academy system, Norton-Cuffy built his reputation the hard way. He ground out dirty minutes in the Championship during loan spells at Lincoln, Rotherham, Coventry, and Millwall. Then Genoa called. Moving to Serie A is usually a daunting leap for a young British defender. He handled it. Last season, Brooke Norton-Cuffy racked up 2,216 minutes across 27 appearances, starting 25 times after making a debut against Atalanta. Two goals and an ***** ist across the campaign showed his attacking intent, even if a couple of red cards and discipline issues showed he still has a bit of rawness.

That brings us to the real question. Does Moyes actually need him? The right-back spot is already looking incredibly crowded, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is still the primary target for that role. Rico Lewis and Djed Spence are hovering on the radar, too. Bringing Norton-Cuffy into that mix feels less like strategic squad building and more like a club struggling to make a definitive choice.
