A remarkable, record-breaking summer window slammed shut on Tuesday night as the likes of Arsenal , Manchester United , Chelsea , Liverpool and Tottenham all finalised their squads for the next few months. For the Gunners, the dream of Julian Alvarez never materialised, as Deadline Day saw outgoings and no incomings . Gabriel Martinelli’s move to Saudi Arabia is still to be confirmed.
It was a far busier, and more dramatic, day at Chelsea, who sold Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City for a British-record-equalling £125million. A fee was agreed to make Lamine Camara his replacement, but Monaco pulled the plug to leave the Blues furious . Florian Balogun’s move to Everton from Monaco also collapsed, despite the Ligue 1 side needing money.
Tottenham saw Iliman Ndiaye move to Man City, but snapped up Chelsea pair Mykhailo Mudryk, on loan , and Tosin Adarabioyo, for £12m . Liverpool the day earlier signed Bradley Barcola for £123m and felt their business was done. It was a very busy day at Crystal Palace, despite missing out on Fofana.

Bradley Barcola was the player Arsenal “needed to sign” during the summer transfer window.
That is the view of Gunners legend Ian Wright, who has delivered a verdict on his former club’s business after missing out on deals for Vinicius Junior and Morgan Rogers.
While Arsenal were hopeful of bolstering their attacking options with a marquee signing, to go alongside Christos Tzolis, ultimately their pursuit of the aforementioned duo ended in failure.
Chelsea swooped in to sign Rogers for £117million and Vinicius Jr signed a new contract at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Barcola had been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium as an alternative but sealed a £123m switch to Liverpool around 30 hours before the deadline, a deal that Wright believes Arsenal could end up regretting.
