The Premier League recorded its quietest winter deadline day, with only seven signings completed on Monday.
No arrival was confirmed until 19:04 GMT — four minutes after the English window shut — when Crystal Palace announced the signing of striker Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves in a deal worth up to £48m. Clubs can complete paperwork up to two hours after the deadline if they submitted a deal sheet before 19:00, which explains several late confirmations.
Five further moves were confirmed after the deadline. Sunderland signed Ecuador winger Nilson Angulo from Anderlecht for £17.5m. Wolves took midfielder Angel Gomes on loan from Marseille and later signed Adam Armstrong from Southampton for £7m to replace Strand Larsen. Those late deals contributed to Premier League winter spending of roughly £390–397m. Liverpool agreed a deal to sign defender Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes, but that transfer — and the reported £60m payment — is set to take place in the summer.
