Deadline Day in the Premier League was one of the most thrilling yet and saw some brilliant talent arrive and also some leave the English top tier.
The final day saw the Premier League’s outlay push past £1 billion, however overall spending has dropped for the second year in a row.
According to financial services firm Deloitte, this is the lowest collective gross spend by Premier League clubs since 2015 and the first time there has been a consecutive decline since the global financial crisis between 2008 and 2010.
However, less money spent didn’t mean that we didn’t see some huge names arrival in England yesterday.
Here are the 14 players that joined Premier League clubs on deadline day...
