1. Alexander Isak → Liverpool
Liverpool made history by smashing the British transfer record, signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle for £125 million, rising to £130 million with add-ons. The Swedish striker had been Newcastle’s talisman, but Liverpool’s persistence and deep pockets ultimately got the deal over the line. Isak now becomes the focal point of Arne Slot's new-look attack.
2. Marc Guehi → Liverpool
The Reds weren’t done there. Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi completed his long-anticipated move to Anfield in a deal worth around £35 million. Although Palace struggled to find a replacement, Guehi’s medical was completed in time and Romano confirmed the move with his trademark “Here We Go.” Liverpool’s double Deadline Day swoop has completely reshaped their spine.
3. Yoane Wissa → Newcastle
With Isak leaving, Newcastle wasted no time bringing in Brentford forward Yoane Wissa for a fee between £55–73 million. Eddie Howe sees Wissa’s pace and versatility as crucial to offsetting the loss of Isak, making him one of the most important Deadline Day additions.
4. Gianluigi Donnarumma → Manchester City
One of the biggest surprises of the day came when City swooped for PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Romano reported that a medical was being scheduled in Italy as the deal progressed quickly. Pep Guardiola wanted elite competition in goal, and Donnarumma’s arrival certainly provides it.
5. Nicolas Jackson → Bayern Munich (from Chelsea)
While not staying in England, Nicolas Jackson’s move to Bayern was one of the stories of the day. The striker joined on loan with an obligation to buy, as confirmed by Romano. Chelsea’s decision to cash in late in the window raised eyebrows, but Bayern seized the opportunity to add firepower.
6. Manuel Akanji → Inter Milan (from Manchester City)
Another exit from City saw Swiss defender Manuel Akanji head to Inter Milan. The Serie A side struck a loan deal with an option to buy, reuniting Akanji with the Italian league where his composure and ball-playing ability should fit seamlessly.
7. Randal Kolo Muani → Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham pulled off one of the coups of Deadline Day by securing Kolo Muani from PSG on a season-long loan. Crucially, there’s no option to buy, but the French forward’s pace and power give Thomas Frank a dynamic attacking weapon for the season ahead.
8. Harvey Elliott → Aston Villa
Aston Villa made waves by finalizing a deal for Harvey Elliott from Liverpool. Structured as a loan with an obligation to buy, the young midfielder gets the chance for regular Premier League starts under Unai Emery. It’s a bold move that could define Villa’s season.
9. Jadon Sancho → Aston Villa (loan)
Villa also secured Jadon Sancho on loan from Manchester United. Once one of England’s brightest prospects, Sancho now has a chance to revive his career in claret and blue. Emery will hope the winger rediscovers his Dortmund form in a new environment.
10. Tyrique George → Fulham
Fulham quietly made a smart move by bringing in Chelsea prospect Tyrique George. The young forward is highly rated for his technical ability and composure in front of goal. While not the flashiest Deadline Day signing, it could prove to be a shrewd piece of business for the future.
Final Thoughts
This Deadline Day had everything: record transfers, unexpected loans, and future stars on the move. Liverpool undoubtedly stole the headlines with Isak and Guehi, while Aston Villa’s double swoop for Sancho and Elliott could prove season-defining. As Fabrizio Romano himself put it across the day, the deals kept coming — and the Premier League is set for one of its most intriguing seasons yet.
