The Premier League transfer window for the month of January is now closed, and it has been quite eventful with some big names moving across the pitch. Here’s a quick recap of the top transfers that took place during this period.
First up was the arrival of Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur to Manchester City in a deal worth £28 million. This move saw Kane join one of the most successful teams in English football, who have won the Premier League title on seven occasions. The addition of Kane to the squad will be a huge boost for Pep Guardiola's side, as they aim to win their fourth consecutive title.
Another notable transfer was the signing of Romelu Lukaku from Everton to Chelsea for a fee of £97.5 million. Lukaku is a prolific goalscorer and his arrival at Stamford Bridge will be a major boost for Antonio Conte's team, who are looking to challenge for the Premier League title once again.
Other key signings included Ben Chilwell joining Chelsea from Leicester City for £50 million, and Benjamin Mendy moving from Manchester City to Paris Saint-Germain for £50 million. These deals were all part of the Premier League's ongoing pursuit of quality players, as clubs look to strengthen their squads ahead of the second half of the season.
Overall, the Premier League transfer window for January was quite busy, with several high-profile signings taking place. While there were some disappointing departures, such as the exit of Sergio Aguero to Manchester City, overall the window was a success for the league.
