The transfer window has closed for another few months, following a relatively quiet market for Premier League clubs.

The English top flight has become synonymous with spending in the transfer window, but it wasn’t the case over January. Just under £100million was spent over the month, the lowest levels since 2021, where only £84million was spent.

Compared to last January’s £780million, it is a drop in the ocean as teams appeared to favour a more restrained approach. Some of that could be down to financial fair play, with the rules starting to clamp down on teams, while it may also be hinged on how tough the winter market is to operate in.

Despite that, there were still some big deals that went through for teams in the Premier League, which could determine how well some teams end the campaign. With that said, here’s a look at the ten most expensive deals that had a disclosed fee in January.
