End of January transfer window time for the Premiership has seen Man United taking a big loss with the return of Wilfred Zaha to Palace and Chelsea paying over £23 million for Juan Cuadrado from Fiorentina.
Activity has been muted compared to recent years.
This could be explained by the introduction of Fifa’s Financial Fair Play rules – with many clubs looking to balance the books to avoid punitive measures.
Chelsea are responsible the two biggest transfers – signing Juan Cuadrado from Fiorentina for £23.3m.
Mohamed Salah went in the other direction, joining the Italian club on loan until the end of the season.
World-Cup winner Andrea Schurrle left the West London club bound for Wolfsburg for a fee of £22m.
Juan Cuadrado was one of the star performers for an impressive Colombian side at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
