January's priciest deals: Semenyo to Man City tops list as Paqueta shatters Americas’ transfer record | OneFootball

The transfer window has slammed shut for the bulk of Europe's top leagues. Here are the most expensive transfers of the winter window, following Monday's deadline for business.

Oscar Bobb - Manchester City to Fulham (£27m)

Oscar Bobb has signed forFulham as the winger looks to reignite his fortunes. The Norwegian's hopes of a breakthrough at Manchester City were derailed by a fractured leg last pre-season, while the signings of Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo added competition for places.

Fulham will provide a platform for Bobb to earn regular minutes, as he looks to fulfil his early potential.

Ademola Lookman - Atalanta to Atletico Madrid (£30.2m)

Atletico Madrid have reinforced their forward line with the capture of Ademola Lookman from Atalanta.

The London-born winger leaves Atalanta after a memorable period in Bergamo, where he scored 55 goals in 137 games, including a hat-trick in the 2023 Europa League final.

Lookman became the first player to score a hat-trick in a UEFA club competition final since 1975 and was named African Footballer of the Year that year.

Brennan Johnson - Tottenham Hotspur to Crystal Palace (£35m)

Despite ending last season as Tottenham's leading scorer with 18 goals in all competitions, including the winner in the Europa League final win overManchester United, Brennan Johnson found himself out of favour this season.

Thomas Frank decided the Welsh winger was not part of his plans in North London, with Johnson crossing the capital to sign forCrystal Palace in a £35m deal.

Conor Gallagher - Atletico Madrid to Tottenham Hotspur (£35m)

Conor Gallagher has returned to thePremier League after 18 months in La Liga at Atletico Madrid.

Despite earning popularity in the Spanish capital for his tireless work rate, Gallagher was unable to cement a place in Diego Simeone's team.

The ex-Chelsea midfielder has signed for Spurs and will hope more minutes can lead to an England recall, ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Lucas Paqueta - West Ham to Flamengo (£35.8m)

Lucas Paqueta reportedly turned downPremier League proposals in favour of a return to Brazil this month, re-signing for first club Flamengo in a record-breaking deal.

The 28-year-old was keen to leave England after the strain of a long investigation into Paqueta for alleged betting breaches. He was cleared of the charges in July 2025.

Paqueta's move to Flamengo is the most expensive transfer ever made by a club from the Americas.

Jorgen Strand Larsen - Wolves to Crystal Palace (£48m)

Crystal Palace proceeded with a club-record deal to sign Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves, despite Jean-Philippe Mateta's move to AC Milan breaking down.

Strand Larsen arrives fromWolves with a point to prove, having scored just once in the Premier League this season for the division's bottom club.

Palace will hope the Norwegian can return to the form he showed in 2024-25, when Strand Larsen netted 14 league goals forWolves.

Antoine Semenyo - Bournemouth to Manchester City (£62.5m)

Antoine Semenyo's superb start to the season atBournemouth saw Premier League rivals circle this month.

The winger's goalscoring form and revelation of a £65m release clause prompted enquires from several sides in the division.

Manchester City won the race to sign Semenyo at a fraction less than his release clause and the 26-year-old has made an immediate impact.
