It was a pretty eventful window for Arsenal who targeted moves for Brighton’s Moises Caicedo and Shakhtar Donetsk’s Mykhaylo Mudryk, but ultimately ended up with Jorginho and Leandro Trossard, as they looked to strengthen their squad for the title race.
Elsewhere, Bournemouth splashed the cash under new owner Bill Foley, spending £55m in total with ambitions of keeping the Cherries in the Premier League for another season.
Aston Villa, Brighton and Brentford had quieter windows in comparison with the Villans spending £18m on Colombian starlet Jhon Duran, who was brought in from MLS side Chicago Fire.

The headline story for the 2023 January transfer window has to be Chelsea’s decision to break the British transfer record, securing the signature of Benfica’s Enzo Fernandez for £107m just before Tuesday’s deadline.
Graham Potter’s side also brought in seven other players over the course of the month, with the spending under Todd Boehly showing no sign of abating. Crystal Palace did some late window activity by recruiting Arsenal’s Albert Sambi Lokonga on loan, while Leeds made a similar move for Juventus’s Weston McKennie.

Newcastle were rather cautious with their January recruitment but they did secure the high-profile signature of Everton’s Anthony Gordon for £45m. Manchester City decided against making any significant moves, signing youngster Maximo Perrone from Argentinian side Velez Sarsfield.
Manchester United made the late decision to recruit Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich on loan, following an injury to playmaker Christian Eriksen, but Liverpool surprisingly didn’t add to their early window addition of Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven.
