With high profile arrivals like Phillipe Coutinho, Kieran Trippier to Aston Villa and Newcastle respectively, the bigger clubs of the Premier League has kept awfully quiet this window but it might change soon as clubs rush to make a marquee signing during deadline day. Manchester United has, however, seen wantaway striker Anthony Martial being loaned to Spanish club Sevilla and Manchester City has sold Spanish striker Ferran Torres to Barcelona.
On deadline day, Burnley has signed Wout Weghorst while Christian Eriksen has joined Brentford FC.
Donny van de Beek, who has struggled for playing time at Manchester United, could get a chance to revive his Premier League career by joining Everton on loan.
Newcastle United are closing in on a loan deal for Aston Villa's Matt Targett. Newcastle have had a bid in the region of £20m-£25m accepted by Reims for 19-year-old striker Hugo Ekitike as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
Villarreal are in the race to sign Lo Celso on loan from Tottenham.
Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey is likely to join Rangers from Juventus.
Brentford have signed Denmark international Christian Eriksen as a free agent for the rest of this season, the Premier League club said on Monday. Eriksen has not played since suffering a cardiac arrest in Denmark's opening match of the European Championship against Finland in June and has been training with his former club Ajax Amsterdam to build up his fitness. The 29-year-old midfielder's former club Inter Milan terminated his contract in December because the heart starter device that he had implanted is not permitted in Serie A. Eriksen played 26 games for Inter as they won the Italian top-flight title in 2021 for the first time in 11 years.
Juventus are on the verge of signing Denis Zakaria from Borussia Monchengladbach.
Newcastle's new Saudi ownership made a significant move by signing Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimarães from French club Lyon for 50.1 million euros ($55.8 million) and 20% of any future sell-on value. Lyon announced the transfer fee on its website and Newcastle tweeted that he signed a 4 1/2-year deal.
Liverpool signed Luis Diaz from Porto to strengthen its attacking options on the penultimate day of the January transfer window. The 25-year-old Colombia international is yet to be granted a British work permit to complete the transfer that will see Porto receive 45 million euros ($50 million) and potentially 15 million euros more in the years to come depending on Diaz's success with Liverpool.
