Keep to up date with the latest movements from Stadium MK before the deadline closes at 11pm.

Good morning!

It’s deadline day... you know what that means!

Usually, it means a lot of waiting around, refreshing, rumours, failed bids and sometimes a takeaway later to help me power through. More on that later, probably.

But stick with us throughout the day for the latest in MK Dons’ pursuit of some additions.

What do MK Dons want?

After seeing his side in action for the first five games in League Two, Graham Alexander has a pretty good idea of what his side needs.

From the outside looking in, it’s clear he needs a physical striker to compliment the likes of Mo Eisa and Jonathan Leko. Dons are also short of full-back cover for the likes of Daniel Harvie and Cameron Norman, and perhaps some more cover at centre-back as well.

The head coach said he was keen to add ‘two or three’ before the window closed, so let’s see what they can cook up.

Who’s joined in the window so far?

Eight have joined during the window so far - here’s a reminder of who has been added to the Dons squad this summer

In the rumour mill

Two names have ben linked with a move to MK Dons - Joe Tomlinson and Luke Armstrong.

Tomlinson is a full-back at Peterborough United, and has been tipped to make the switch from London Road, while Harrogate striker Armstrong has been linked with a big-money move to the League Two table toppers.

Both are positions Dons need bolstering.

Former Dons man on the move?

Dons and Charlton seem to be linked during this window, with the Addicks rumoured to be close to a deal with Tennai Watson.

The 26-year-old full-back left Stadium MK at the end of his contract in June, and is tipped to complete a move to The Valley.

Four players who can boast Charlton as a former club have joined Dons so far this summer - Alex Gilbey, Nathan Harness, Craig MacGillivray and Jack Payne (who has joined on loan from the League One side)

Dons have in-form strikers

While they’re keen on adding a centre forward before tonight’s deadline, Graham Alexander can still look around his squad and see plenty of goals.

Mo Eisa has four, while Jonathan Leko, Matt Dennis and Max Dean have all scored twice this season as well.

What it’s like to make a deadline day move

Back in 2017, Alex Gilbey arrived at the very last knockings of transfer deadline day from Wigan Athletic.

The move for the midfielder did not come about until late in the day, and it all came as a bit of a whirlwind for the player.

He explained what it is like being a part of a deadline day move to the Citizen recently

Former Don completes a move

Tennai Watson’s move to Charlton has been confirmed. The 26-year-old spent two years at MK Dons before leaving at the end of last season.

Action stations!

Tomlinson’s highlights reel

Business elsewhere in the division

So far, not many moves knocking about in the EFL, much less involving League Two sides.

Here’s what’s gone down in the run up to lunchtime:

Zach Mitchell [Charlton - Colchester] Loan

Joe Tomlinson [Peterborough - MK Dons] Undisclosed

Chisom Afoka [Aston Villa - Bradford] Loan

James Norris [Liverpool - Tranmere] Loan

Tennai Watson [MK Dons - Charlton] Free

Work ploughing on behind the scenes

It’s been a few hours since Tomlinson’s deal was confirmed, but the machine keeps on working behind the scenes at MK Dons.

We understand they are still keen to add to the squad. Liam Sweeting et al are trying to get things done before the window closes.

It’s a case of watch this space at the moment.

More deals elsewhere in the division

It’s all quiet on the MK Dons front, but others in the division, namely Wrexham, have been busy:

Luca Stephenson [Liverpool - Barrow] Loan

Charlie Lakin [Burton - AFC Wimbledon] Loan

David Okagbue [Stoke - Walsall] Loan

George Evans [Millwall - Wrexham] Undisclosed fee

Dean Bouzanis [Reading - Sutton] Loan

Dion Pereira [Luton - Sutton] Loan

Dons target heading to Wales?

Luke Armstrong was reported to be on MK Dons’ most wanted list heading into deadline day, but rumours have it that Wrexham have made a late swoop for the Harrogate Town man and that he is in fact on his way to Wales.

That said though, manager Simon Weaver has told Yorkshire Post he is not in a giving mood and does not want to make a fellow League Two side better by allowing his goal-scorer to depart.

Another former Dons man on the move

Kabonga Tshimanga, who came through the academy at MK Dons, has joined League One side Fleetwood Town on loan from Peterborough United.

As a teenager, he made headlines by scoring 42 goals in 25 games for the U18s but left the club in the summer of 2017.

Touring the non-league, he emerged again as the name on everyone’s lips with his performances at Chesterfield, earning him a move to London Road in January this year.

The calm before the storm

Three hours to go before the rampage inevitably comes.

Still only Tomlinson through the door at this stage, but the rumblings are still rumbling.

Will Dons get anything over the line? We wait and see

Rumour killer

Uhm... nope. Sorry. Dons’ attentions have not turned to the Hartlepool United man after apparently missing out on Luke Armstrong.

One more hour to go

One more hour to go, but we all know that’s just a guide, right?!

Dons still frantically working to get something over the line in time.

God, that Tomlinson signing feels like a long time ago now, doesn’t it!
