A flurry of big-money moves before the transfer deadline took Premier League spending to the second-highest ever for a winter window.
The likes of Luis Diaz, Bruno Guimaraes and Rodrigo Bentancur moving in the last few days of January left the league's gross spending at £295million according to estimates from finance company Deloitte.
The figure is over four times higher than the January 2021 window when Covid-19 was looming over the books of clubs across the world. Last year, £70m was spent in total and just £10m on deadline day.
Newcastle drove the January spending by signing the likes of Bruno Guimaraes for £33m
Liverpool got Luis Diaz for an initial £37.
