Swansea City have brought in Jordan Ayew from Aston Villa in exchange for Neil Taylor who joins the Sky Bet Championship side.

Premier League teams have spent a record £1.38 billion on transfers in the 2016-17 season, after a summer spend of £1.165 billion.

Spending in January 2017 is the second highest expenditure in history for Premier League Clubs.

It sits behind the transfer window which saw Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll arrive at Liverpool F.C and Fernando Torres’s ill fated move to Chelsea F.C on the January 2011 deadline day.

While the transfer window is now closed for the major European leagues, there could still be some big name departures as the Chinese Super League has until their official deadline of the 28th February.
