With all the business that goes on deadline day, it can be hard to keep track of which players to watch out for. Some will be major fees, and some will be youngsters whose journey could be full of excitement. These signings could be deciding who lifts silverware or finishes in the European spots.
1. Enzo Fernandez to Man City (£125m)
We will start the list with probably the most obvious and well-covered transfer of deadline day. Enzo Maresca has decided to turn to former Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez to help deal with Rodri's departure.
Signing a contract until 2031, Fernandez brings elite distribution and tempo control to the heart of the midfield. This blockbuster deal could make it break City's season.
2. Matias Fernandez-Pardo to Newcastle United (£51m)
Newcastle United left it late to secure one of Europe's most exciting young attackers, spending £51m to bring Matias Fernandez-Pardo from Lille to St. James' Park.
The highly-rated forward is expected to inject immediate pace, tactical flexibility, and creativity into the Magpies' frontline. The Geordies have a hit-or-miss record with strikers, so they hope this one can hit the ground running.
3. Ibrahim Mbaye to Aston Villa (£47m)
Aston Villa continued their incredibly ambitious summer rebuild by securing PSG wonderkid Ibrahim Mbaye for £47m.
Taking the leap to the Premier League, the highly rated prospect represents a massive statement of intent for Villa as they push to solidify their status among Europe's elite.
4. Malick Fofana to Sunderland (£31m)
In one of the biggest hijacks of the summer, Sunderland beat Premier League champions Arsenal and Crystal Palace to the signature of 21-year-old Lyon winger Malick Fofana for £31m.
The Belgian international was lured to the North East by the promise of immediate first-team minutes and the allure of Europa League football.
5. Gabriel Jesus to Barcelona (£8.6m)
A true deadline day bargain. Following the departures of key attacking figures, Barcelona executed a rapid backup plan by signing the 29-year-old from Arsenal.
Operating as an elite pressing stopgap, Jesus will hold down the frontline for Hansi Flick's side while they plot a long-term successor for Robert Lewandowski. A savvy bit of business to keep the squad ticking over until a superstar comes along.
