Over €1 billion euro was spent by Premier League clubs in the latest transfer window, which saw a number of late moves to catch the eye.
Chelsea have bolstered their midfield with the signing of Saul Niguez from Atletico Madrid on a season-long loan with an option to buy next summer. The 26-year-old was part of Atletico’s La Liga winning title side last season and scored 53 goals in 447 appearances for the Spanish club.
Speaking of Athletico, they have re-signed French World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann on loan from Barcelona.

For their part, Tottenham have brought Brazilian full-back Emerson Royal to North London, paying Barcelona £25.8 million for his services. Serge Aurier has left Spurs with his contract terminated by mutual consent.
