Fulham and Sunderland lead busy end to Premier League business
Plenty of Premier League clubs left it late to complete deals on deadline day, with Sunderland and Fulham particularly busy.
Sunderland and Fulham were among the busiest Premier League clubs on deadline day as plenty of late moves were pushed through.
Following the injury sustained by Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson’s transfer to Bayern Munich, Chelsea have recalled forward Marc Guiu from Sunderland, with the Black Cats softening the blow by adding Brian Brobbey from Ajax for a reported £21.3m (€24.6m), as well as Bertrand Traore also following suit from the Dutch giants.
Lutsharel Geertruida had earlier joined from RB Leipzig on a season-long loan, though Patrick Roberts, Niall Huggins, Jenson Seelt and Alan Browne all departed.
Fulham left their business late, but did bring in two wingers before the transfer window shut.
Samuel Chukwueze has joined Marco Silva's team on loan from AC Milan with an option to buy, while Brazilian attacker Kevin signed from Shakhtar Donetsk in a club-record deal.
Fulham did see a deal for Chelsea’s Tyrique George fall through, but have managed to hold on to Harry Wilson after interest from Leeds.
Fulham's west London neighbours Brentford have also been active on the final day of the window, securing the signing of Reiss Nelson from Arsenal on a season-long loan following Yoane Wissa's departure to Newcastle United.
Everton, meanwhile, confirmed the signing of Germany Under-21 international Merlin Rohl from Bundesliga side SC Freiburg, with the midfielder becoming the Toffees’ ninth signing.
David Moyes' side have also seen activity going the other way, with Youssef Chermiti sealing a £10m move to Rangers, while 18-year-old Harrison Armstrong was loaned to Preston North End.
Not only did Crystal Palace retain Marc Guehi, but they have bolstered their forward line with the signing of Christantus Uche from Getafe. The Eagles also brought in France youth international Jaydee Canvot.
Burnley will hope to have made a splash with the signing of Florentino Luis from Benfica on a loan-to-buy deal, while Wolves forked out a reported £24m (€27.7m) to sign Tolu Arokodare from Genk.
