The most memorable transfer deadline day deals
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Since the implementation of a transfer window during the 2002/03 season, 'deadline day' has become something of a highlight during the football season.
Reports of players in helicopters and fast cars amid mad-dashes to sign on the dotted line have become common place when the winter or summer windows close. It is billed as the day when sense and reason take a back seat to desperation as teams throw cash at anything that moves in a bid to sign players who may boost their fortunes.
While deadline day does not always live up to the hype, occassionally it does, with last January, which saw Fernando Torres, Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez all move at the last minute, of particular note.
Following this week's deadline day, we remember some of the biggest deals to take place in the final hours.
