The 2025 summer transfer window has just slammed shut in England, Italy, Spain, Germany and France - and a crazy couple of months was capped by a suitably insane deadline day that saw Liverpool sign Alexander Isak for a British-record fee while the Reds' deal for Marc Guehi collapsed at the 11th hour.
Newcastle also finally managed to convince Brentford to part company with Yoane Wissa, Nicolas Jackson's on-off switch to Bayern Munich eventually went through, while both Manchester United and Manchester City brought in new goalkeepers.
