A hectic summer transfer window has come to an end for the Premier League after a dramatic deadline day full of twists and turns.

Manchester City eventually completed a record-equalling transfer of Enzo Fernandez for £125m – but Chelsea’s deal for Monaco’s Lamine Camara dramatically fell through after the transfer deadline. Chelsea are said to be furious after Monaco pulled out of a £47m deal for the 22-year-old midfielder at the last moment.

Everton, too, were dealt a bitter blow after the deadline as striker Folarin Balogun walked away from his £40m move from Monaco, which came after they had sold Beto to Fiorentina and Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City. The Toffees were left with Jack Grealish and Ainsley Maitland-Niles as their only deadline day replacements, while Tottenham have signed Mykhailo Mudryk on loan. Sunderland beat Crystal Palace to the signing of Malick Fofana after a dramatic tug-of-war for the £30m Lyon winger.

Manchester United did not sign a left back, despite being offered the chance to sign Rayan Ait-Nouri from rivals Manchester City. Liverpool’s business finished after signing Bradley Barcola for £120m and agreeing to sign 18-year-old Belgian goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans next summer.

Arsenal’s summer-long pursuit of Julian Alvarez finally concluded with the forward remaining at Atletico Madrid, who had refused to allow the Argentina international to join Barcelona. The Gunners have sold Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus and even allowed Ethan Nwaneri to depart on loan – and the window closes without Mikel Arteta signing the marquee attacking signing he craved.
