All the last-minute deadline day deals you might have missed involving all the Premier League London clubs.
We saw a flurry of late transfer activity around London on deadline day, as we so often do. There was an earlier transfer deadline at 7pm, meaning clubs had to get their business in order nice and early as the international break takes hold.
There were permanent deals and loan deals aplenty struck across the Premier League, and here we round up what you might have missed at the capital clubs.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace confirmed the signing of Toulouse defender Jaydee Canvot, who cost around £23million. They also snapped up Christian Uche on a season-long loan deal. Palace ultimately missed out on a deal to sign Tottenham winger Manor Solomon.
The big news, of course, was that Marc Guehi’s move to Liverpool was cancelled despite a medical, with the Eagles failing to find an adequate replacement.
Odsonne Edouard went on to join RC Lens after being to hit the road, and Franco Umeh also left on a permanent move, joining Portsmouth.
Brentford
Brentford saw striker Yoane Wissa finally complete his move to Newcastle United for £55million, ending a long-running transfer saga.
The Bees also agreed to sign Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson on a season-long loan deal to bolster their attack.
Tottenham
Tottenham snapped up PSG striker Randal Kolo Muani on a season-long loan deal. The loan deal is not understood to have any option or obligation to buy. Manor Solomon departed to join Villarreal on a straight season-long loan, while Bryan Gil joined Girona on a deal worth up to £7million including add-ons.
Arsenal
Arsenal signed Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen on a loan deal with a £45million option to buy built in. In terms of exits, Albert Sambi Lokonga departed to join Hamburg on a permanent deal, while Jakub Kiwior joined FC Porto on a season-long loan with a reported option to buy worth more than £14million.
Lucas Martin Nygaard joined Brabrand IF on loan, and Fabio Vieira joined Hamburg, teaming up with Lokonga, but only on a loan basis. In a very last-minute deal, Oleksandr Zinchenko wound up joining Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan.
Chelsea
Chelsea signed Facundo Buonanotte on loan from Brighton in the early afternoon of deadline day, and they went on to pursue exits, as expected.
Nicolas Jackson joined Bayern Munich for a reported loan fee of £14.2million plus an obligation to buy worth £56.1million. Marc Guiu’s early return from a loan with Sunderland paved the way for that deal. Elsewhere, Ben Chilwell joined Strasbourg on loan for the season.
£19million investment Omari Kellyman joined Cardiff City on loan for the season,
Fulham
Fulham had an exciting late flurry of business. They landed Samu Chukwueze from AC Milan on loan with an option to buy worth around £21.6million. Kevin also joined from Shakhtar Donetsk for a club-record £34million. The deal involving Chelsea starlet Tyrique George fell through.
Elsewhere, Martial Godo joined Strasbourg on a permanent deal, but Harry Wilson’s move to Leeds United fell through at the last minute, so he remains at Craven Cottage.
West Ham
West Ham allowed Emerson Palmieri to leave on deadline day, with the wing-back joining Olympique Marseille on a permanent deal for a nominal fee. Nayef Aguerd also joined Marseille, penning a move worth £19.8million.
The Hammers brought in Igor Julio from Brighton on a season-long loan after managing to win a transfer tussle with Crystal Palace. Dimitri Colau also joined to link up with the under-21s from Paris FC.
Elsewhere, youngsters Junior Robinson (Livingston), Lewis Oxford (Stevenage) and Finlay Herrick (Boreham Wood) all departed on loan.
