Premier League Transfer Window: A Mid-Season Roundup
The Premier League transfer window closed on January 31, 2023, and it was a busy month for clubs across the league. A number of big-money moves were made, as teams looked to strengthen their squads for the second half of the season.
The most expensive signing of the window was Enzo Fernandez, who joined Chelsea from Benfica for a fee of £106.8 million. The Argentine midfielder had been one of the standout players in the World Cup, and Chelsea hope that he can help them challenge for the Premier League title.
Another big-money move was the signing of Mykhaylo Mudryk by Arsenal. The Ukrainian winger joined the Gunners from Shakhtar Donetsk for a fee of £80 million. Mudryk is a highly-rated young player, and Arsenal will be hoping that he can add some extra creativity to their attack.
Liverpool also made a significant signing in the January transfer window, bringing in Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven for a fee of £35 million. The Dutch forward has been in impressive form for PSV this season, and Liverpool will be hoping that he can help them close the gap on Manchester City at the top of the table.
Manchester City were relatively quiet in the January transfer window, but they did make one signing: Maximo Perrone. The Argentine Under-20 international joined City from Velez Sarsfield for a fee of £8 million. Perrone is a defensive midfielder, and he is seen as one of the most promising young players in Argentina.
Tottenham Hotspur were also relatively quiet in the January transfer window, but they did make one significant signing: Pedro Porro. The Spanish right-back joined Spurs from Sporting Lisbon for a fee of £40 million. Porro is a highly-rated young player, and Tottenham will be hoping that he can help them challenge for a top-four finish.
