Deals involving Manchester United dominated the final day of the summer transfer window as spending for Premier League clubs again topped the £1.1bn mark.
United have spent £126m in this summer’s transfer window, outdone only by the £132m spent by Arsenal.
The final total for all 20 Premier League clubs was likely to be similar to last summer’s £1.282bn once last-minute deals before the 11pm deadline were taken into account.
The highest profile signing on deadline day was Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford. The move was announced on Friday but a two-year contract with an option for a third was confirmed on Tuesday morning after the Portuguese forward passed his medical on Monday.
His arrival meant Daniel James headed to Leeds on a five-year deal, two and a half years after the same club’s bid to sign him from Swansea collapsed at the 11th hour. It is understood that Leeds have paid £25m for the Wales international.
Juventus have moved quickly to replace Ronaldo, bringing in Everton’s Moise Kean on a two-year loan.
Juve say the loan will be turned into a permanent deal subject to certain conditions being met over the course of the next two years, with a loan fee of €7m (£6m) being paid to Everton.
Twenty-one-year-old Kean joined Everton from Juventus in 2019 and scored four goals across 39 appearance, while he had a successful spell on loan at Paris Saint-Germain last season and had been linked with a move to the French capital prior to Lionel Messi’s arrival. Tottenham Hotspur announced the arrival of “a new Royal” in a tongue-in-cheek social media post designed to look like Buckingham Palace were welcoming a new baby. The stunt was to announce the signing of Brazilian right-back Emerson Royal from Barcelona on a five-year deal understood to have cost Daniel Levy £25.8m.
West Ham United have strengthened their squad ahead of a busy season which will take in Europa League action, signing midfielder Alex Kral after earlier completing a move for attacker Nikola Vlasic.
Czech Republic international Kral has joined on a season-long loan from Spartak Moscow, with the option to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign.
Croatia international Vlasic signed for an undisclosed fee, believed to be £25.7m, from CSKA Moscow on a five-year deal.
Across London there has been movement at Chelsea, with the Blues reportedly agreeing a loan deal for Saul Niguez with Atletico Madrid, with an option to buy.
Arsenal have agreed a £19.8m deal for Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu. The Japanese international is understood to have agreed personal terms and is undergoing a medical.
The Gunners announced that right-back Hector Bellerin will join Real Betis on a season-long loan.
Crystal Palace completed a move for Celtic striker Odsonne Édouard on deadline day.
The French forward agreed a £14m, four-year deal after undergoing a medical with the London club.
Brighton have signed Getafe left-back Marc Cucurella in deal thought to reach £15m.
The 23-year-old has become Brighton’s third summer signing, following Enock Mwepu and Kjell Scherpen through the doors at the Amex Stadium.
“We have been keen to bring Marc to the club, and we are really pleased to finally welcome him here and are excited to begin working with him,” said Brighton manager Graham Potter.
Burnley announced the signing of Wales full-back Connor Roberts from Swansea, the 25-year-old joining on a four-year deal.
Leicester completed the signing of Ademola Lookman on a season-long loan from RB Leipzig. The winger joins the Foxes after midfielder Dennis Praet moved to Torino on a similar deal.
