The coup of Leicester’s transfer window, arguably, is the capacity to Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez. Outs Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim, loan), Joe Davies (Fleetwood Town, undisc.), Alie Sesay (Barnet, undisc.), Jak McCourt (Barnsley, undisc.), Simonas Stankevicius (Zalgiris, undisc.), Tom Lawrence (Cardiff City, loan), Yohan Benalouane (Fiorentina, loan), Ritchie de Laet (Middlesbrough, loan) Ins Daniel Amartey (FC Copenhagen, £5m), Demarai Gray (Birmingham City, £3m), Daniel Iversen (Esbjerg, undisc.) The Senegal international provides another option to a team and manager in urgent need of a revival, while another promising forward, Shani Tarashaj, was secured ahead of a summer arrival. Roberto Martínez wanted to trim his squad but after banking £8.5m for Steven Naismith, allowing Aiden McGeady to leave on loan and missing out on Sam Byram, he brought forward interest in Oumar Niasse and made the Lokomotiv Moscow striker one of the biggest transfers of the January window. Outs Steven Naismith (Norwich City, £8.5m), Aiden McGeady (Sheffield Wednesday, loan) Liam Walsh (Yeovil Town, loan), Shani Tarashaj (Grasshoppers, loan) Ins Oumar Niasse (Lokomotiv Moscow, £13.5m), Shani Tarashaj (Grasshoppers, £3m), Matty Foulds (Bury, undisc.) A risk? Perhaps not on a short-term, incentivised deal. Instead, they secured Emmanuel Adebayor, who has played 17 minutes of Premier League football in a year, in the hope he retains an appetite to flourish in the English game. The window was largely one of frustration, with Palace’s interest in the likes of Islam Slimani and Khouma Babacar put on hold by their current clubs’ valuations. Outs Jonny Williams (MK Dons, loan), Jack Hunt (Sheffield Wednesday, £1.2m), Jake Gray (Hartlepool, loan), Jerome Binom-Williams (Leyton Orient, loan) But the arrivals of Pato and Miazga hardly had the pulses racing, and some of the club’s younger players might surely have merited an opportunity instead. Ramires’ departure for a hefty fee will help financially in the summer if players on Champions League contracts have not secured Champions League football. The window ended up feeling like a clearing of the decks. Outs Wallace (Grêmio, loan), Papy Djilobodji (Werder Bremen, loan), Alex Kiwomya (Fleetwood, loan), Christian Atsu (Málaga, loan), Ramires (Jiangsu Suning, £24.3m), Patrick Bamford (Norwich City, loan), Charly Musonda (Real Betis, loan), Mitchell Beeney (Newport, loan), Marco van Ginkel (PSV Eindhoven, loan) Ins Alexandre Pato (Corinthians, loan), Matt Miazga (New York Red Bulls, undisc.) Eddie Howe certainly now has enough firepower at his disposal for the final straight, though. Lewis Grabban, who returned to Bournemouth after an 18-month hiatus at Norwich, is popular with team-mates but will need time to convince he is worth an inflated £7m fee second time around. While the Argentinian winger Juan Iturbe still looks like a rabbit in the headlights at times, Benik Afobe, the club’s record signing from Wolves, has settled quickly, scoring two goals in as many matches. Outs Jayden Stockley (Exeter City, loan), Yann Kermorgant (Reading, loan), Lee Tomlin (Bristol City, loan), Elliott Ward (Blackburn, undisc), Alessandro Cannataro (released), Tomas Andrade (released), Ryan Allsop (Wycombe Wanderers, loan) Ins Lewis Grabban (Norwich City, £7m), Benik Afobe (Wolves, £9m), Juan Iturbe (Roma, loan), Rhoys Wiggins (Sheffield Wednesday, £200,000), Marius Adamonis (FK Atlantas, loan) They had tracked the Ivorian forward Seydou Doumbia before his loan move from Roma to Newcastle, while deals for Loïc Rémy, Mathieu Debuchy and Wahbi Khazri never materialised. Rémi Garde’s side are 10 points adrift of safety and have failed to sign a single player during the window. It has been a miserable January in the market for Villa. Outs Joe Cole (Coventry City, free), Callum Robinson (Preston North End, loan), Joe Bennett (Sheffield Wednesday, loan), Gary Gardner (Nottm Forest, loan), José Angel Crespo (Rayo Vallecano, loan), Jed Steer (Huddersfield), Tiago Ilori (Liverpool, loan ended), Philippe Senderos (released) The return of injured players pleases the manager more. He did not want anyone else, and so he did not get anyone else. Arsène Wenger wanted cover in central midfield, a player with the capacity to play the defensive role and he got Mohamed Elneny, who looks like a smart signing. Outs Mathieu Debuchy (Bordeaux, loan), Glen Kamara (Southend United, loan), Gedion Zelalem (Rangers, loan extended), Yaya Sanogo (Charlton Athletic, loan)Ī drama-free, shock-free window.
