As the deadline for the January transfer window heads closer, many Premier League clubs have been busy in the market trying to find fresh pair of legs to boost their performances. Interestingly, the top four sides have been relatively silent, as they watch the middle and bottom-placed teams scramble for reinforcement by introducing new players to their squads.
In as much as it may be difficult to acquire top players in January due to their engagement with their current clubs, many fans were expecting major signings quite early enough. If such top teams fail to sign on time, then fans should expect transfer deadline day drama, panic buys or no activity at all. Without further ado, here are some of the done deals:
