A hectic summer transfer window has come to an end for the Premier League after a dramatic deadline day full of twists and turns.Manchester City eventually completed a record-equalling transfer of Enzo Fernandez for £125m – but Chelsea’s deal for Monaco’s Lamine Camara dramatically fell through after the transfer deadline. Chelsea are said to be furious after Monaco pulled out of a £47m deal for the 22-year-old midfielder at the last moment. Everton, too, were dealt a bitter blow after the deadline as striker Folarin Balogun walked away from his £40m move from Monaco, which came after they had sold Beto to Fiorentina and Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City. The Toffees were left with Jack Grealish and Ainsley Maitland-Niles as their only deadline day replacements, while Tottenham have signed Mykhailo Mudryk on loan. Sunderland beat Crystal Palace to the signing of Malick Fofana after a dramatic tug-of-war for the £30m Lyon winger. Manchester United did not sign a left back, despite being offered the chance to sign Rayan Ait-Nouri from rivals Manchester City. Liverpool’s business finished after signing Bradley Barcola for £120m and agreeing to sign 18-year-old Belgian goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans next summer. Arsenal’s summer-long pursuit of Julian Alvarez finally concluded with the forward remaining at Atletico Madrid, who had refused to allow the Argentina international to join Barcelona. The Gunners have sold Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus and even allowed Ethan Nwaneri to depart on loan – and the window closes without Mikel Arteta signing the marquee attacking signing he craved.Follow all of the latest transfer fallout in our live blog below:Arsenal’s big transfer failure leaves Mikel Arteta with one choiceMikel Arteta made a grand appeal as he sat in Budapest’s Puskas Arena as a beaten Champions League finalist.“We will have to start making some very important decisions if we want to reach another level,” the Arsenal boss said. “We are going to have to show that ambition because we are more than capable of doing it, but it is going to demand us to be very ambitious, very fast and very smart.”This was naturally taken as a coded request for a star to elevate Arsenal’s attack, but they didn’t quite crack it. They didn’t get that “absolute quality”, even if the club did show ambition and do some smart business. There remains the view that Arsenal should have behaved like champions, and stood on the neck of the rest of the Premier League.Miguel Delaney examines what comes next for the GunnersMiguel Delaney2 September 2026 10:01More than half of Premier League clubs break transfer records as spending reaches new levelMore than half of the Premier League’s clubs have broken their transfer records in a summer window featuring four of the top flight’s five most expensive ever deals.After England internationals Elliot Anderson and Morgan Rogers joined Manchester City for £116m and Chelsea for £117m respectively, the final two days of the window brought an even bigger pair of deals as summer spending pushed beyond last season’s record of £3billion, with the final figure yet to be confirmed.First Liverpool spent an initial £106m, potentially rising to £123m, on Paris Saint Germain winger Bradley Barcola, then City paired Anderson with another nine-figure midfielder in former Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez – whose £125m move matched the British record set 12 months ago by Barcola’s new team-mate Alexander Isak.Harry Latham-Coyle2 September 2026 09:30Rating every Premier League club’s transfer window after record deadline dayHow did each Premier League team fare this summer?

United checked with City on whether they could sign the defender on loan, following an approach from the Algeria international’s representatives last week. It is understood, however, that United were informed that a loan would only be possible with an obligation to buy, which United were not interested in.
