January Transfer Window: All the Completed Premier League Transfers
It’s been a record-breaking transfer window, with Premier League clubs spending over £780m on 52 new players, more than double last January’s spend. Chelsea stole the show, signing eight players, including £107 million man Enzo Fernandez at the last moment. The biggest losers of the window were Everton, the only Premier League team not to reinforce their squad. Join us as we recap all the completed transfers.
It was a dramatic final day of the January transfer window, with plenty of action as clubs rushed to strengthen their squads.
Chelsea Football Club has made a historic transfer by securing Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for a fee of 121 million euros (approximately £107 million). This smashing of the previous British transfer record of £100 million, set by Manchester City for Jack Grealish in 2021, highlights Chelsea’s commitment to strengthening their team.
The 22-year-old Fernandez, a standout performer during Argentina’s World Cup victory, where he was named young player of the tournament, only joined Benfica in August for a reported £10 million. His signing is the joint-sixth most expensive transfer of all time, tying the 120 million euros Barcelona spent on Antoine Griezmann in 2019.
Fernandez is a versatile player who can occupy any position in the midfield, a crucial component in Argentina’s World Cup victory. His arrival takes Chelsea’s January spending to £288 million, with a total outlay of over £550 million for 17 new players.
In addition to Fernandez, Chelsea’s January spending spree included Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile, and Malo Gusto on permanent deals, and a loan signing of Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid.
Such was their spending, Chelsea spent more than the Italian, French, Spanish and German leagues put together.
Although Chelsea took the headlines, other clubs were busy, spending over £780m. We detail the transfer dealings of all the Premier League clubs.
