The winter transfer window was a bit of a letdown for many Premier League clubs, with only one of the traditional top six making a big signing. Manchester City splashed the cash while their rivals stayed quiet, but some clubs made clever moves to gear up for the season’s final stretch. Here’s the scoop on how each team did:
Despite interest in Ollie Watkins and Mathys Tel, no new faces showed up, leaving Mikel Arteta with the same squad. The lack of attacking depth could hurt their title chase.
Key ins: None
Key outs: None
Unai Emery pulled off a major win with the loan signing of Marcus Rashford, looking to revive the struggling forward. Donyell Malen, Marco Asensio, and Andrés García add some much-needed depth for Villa’s busy schedule.
Key ins: Malen (£20m), García (£6m), Rashford (loan), Asensio (loan), Disasi (loan)
Key outs: Durán (£64.4m), Philogene (£20m), Carlos (£9.3m), Nedeljkovic (loan)
With key strikers sidelined, Bournemouth couldn’t snag an immediate replacement but invested in young talent. The late addition of Eli Junior Kroupi won’t help right away since he’s still on loan at Lorient.
Key ins: Soler (£6.6m), Akinmboni (£2.1m), Kroupi (£10m)
Key outs: Travers (loan), Aarons (loan), Billing (loan)
Michael Kayode’s arrival from Fiorentina boosts the defense, but no big signings were made, leaving Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo in the summer transfer spotlight.
Key ins: Kayode (loan)
Key outs: Roerslev (loan)
Even though they were Europe’s fifth-biggest spenders in 2024, Brighton let go of key players, including Evan Ferguson. Stefanos Tzimas is a long-term prospect, loaned back to Nürnberg.
Key ins: Tzimas (£20.8m), Gómez (£12m), Cashin (£9m)
Key outs: Moder (£1.6m), Enciso (loan), Ferguson (loan)
Trevoh Chalobah’s return brings some defensive relief, but there are still questions about the club’s direction. João Félix’s exit and loans for Chilwell and Chukwuemeka leave the squad a bit thin.
Key ins: Chalobah (loan ended)
Key outs: Casadei (£12.5m), Veiga (loan), Chukwuemeka (loan), Chilwell (loan), Félix (loan)

Ben Chilwell adds some defensive cover, while Romain Esse is a promising midfield addition. The club turned down a late Tottenham bid for Marc Guéhi.
Key ins: Esse (£12m), Chilwell (loan)
Key outs: Chalobah (loan ended), Schlupp (loan)
David Moyes has a tough job ahead with minimal reinforcements. Carlos Alcaraz’s loan helps with midfield depth, but the lack of attacking signings is a worry.
Key ins: Alcaraz (loan)
Key outs: Armstrong (loan)
With no major signings, Arne Slot focused on loaning out young talent, trusting his squad for the title push.
Key ins: None
Key outs: Gordon (loan), Bajcetic (loan), Danns (loan)
City went big with four signings, showing their struggles this season. Pep Guardiola will be counting on Omar Marmoush and Nico González to make an immediate impact.
Key ins: Marmoush (£59.1m), González (£49.8m), Khusanov (£33.8m), Reis (£29.6m)
Key outs: Walker (loan)
A chaotic window saw Marcus Rashford and Antony leave on loan without replacements. Patrick Dorgu’s arrival probably won’t change United’s luck.
Key ins: Dorgu (£25.1m)
Key outs: Rashford (loan), Antony (loan)
Financial concerns led to a quiet window. Miguel Almirón’s sale and Lloyd Kelly’s loan departure could weaken the squad’s depth.
Key ins: None
Key outs: Almirón (£8m), Kelly (loan)
Late moves for Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel strengthen the squad, but Ange Postecoglou might still feel a bit short in defense.
Key ins: Kinsky (£12.5m), Danso (loan), Tel (loan)
Key outs: None
Evan Ferguson’s arrival could be crucial as the club deals with injuries up front.
Key ins: Ferguson (loan), Ward-Prowse (loan ended)
Key outs: None
