After a major summer of spending, the Premier League's summer transfer window drew to a close at 11pm on Tuesday evening. It was a record-shattering couple of months across the UK, with a total exceeding £3.2billion exceeded through deals.
Manchester City and Chelsea agreed a £125m deal for Enzo Fernandez, with the wantaway midfielder finally leaving Stamford Bridge after months of speculation regarding his future. The Cityzens also welcomed Iliman Ndiaye to their ranks in a £65m move, further bolstering Enzo Maresca's choice.
Sunderland's approach of Malick Fofana also dominated the headlines on Tuesday, with what should have been a straightforward move turning into quite the saga when Crystal Palace threatened to hijack the Black Cats' move.
With Kyril Louis-Dreyfus flying to Lyon to persuade the 21-year-old winger to join his project at the Stadium of Light, Fofana gave Sunderland the green-light to put the wheels in motion on a move, forced to submit a dealsheet to ensure a transfer due to the last-minute nature of his decision.
In West London, AS Monaco also knocked back Chelsea's £47m move for Lamine Camara in dramatic fashion. Everything had been agreed between the two clubs, when Monaco pulled the plug with just minutes to go until the deadline - with Everton's endeavours of securing Folarin Balogun having a knock-on effect.
