Crystal Palace's late swoop for Michy Batshuayi on loan should provide intrigue with the Belgian flopping at Valencia and requiring a fresh start, and with the Eagles still to face Man United, Arsenal and Tottenham, he could still aid Chelsea this season.
Arsenal wrapped up the loan (with an option to buy) signing of Barcelona's Denis Suarez to give Unai Emery an alternative option, whilst Newcastle's club record £21 million move for Miguel Almiron should please Rafa Benitez after a turbulent few weeks.

Who will replace Cesc Fabregas at Chelsea?
Watford's Abdoulaye Doucoure has emerged as a surprise option according to the Daily Mirror.
The in-form midfielder has caught the eye this season with Paris Saint-Germain also interested.
But the Hornets insist the 26-year-old is staying put, for now at least.
To Spain where Philippe Coutinho's future is once again high on the agenda.
The Brazilian's £142m move to Barcelona hasn't quite gone as planned and a possible return to the Premier League is now being mooted.
Manchester United, Chelsea and even former club Liverpool have been linked with him with Sport reporting he's set for crunch talks with manager Ernesto Valverde.
Everton's Idrissa Gueye is said to have put in a transfer request with his heart now firmly set on a move to Paris Saint-Germain before the window shuts, according to Sky Sports.
The French champions are said to have lodged a £21.5m offer for the Senegalese international.
Everton remain resolute he won't be sold. Crystal Palace have an interest in this one too. They want James McCarthy on loan but both he and Gueye won't both be allowed to leave today.
More on Marouane Fellaini who looks like he's on his way.

More as we get it.
From one Premier League veteran on the move to potentially another.
Chelsea's Gary Cahill has emerged as a possible target for Juventus today.

Back to Everton and to Yannick Bolasie, who has only just recently returned from a loan spell at Aston Villa.
He could be on the move again before 11pm.
The Mirror report he is wanted by Newcastle, Burnley and Cardiff while Championship Middlesbrough are also said to be keen.
Tottenham forward Georges-Kevin Nkoudou is in talks with Monaco over a loan move, according to the Press Association.
The 23-year-old has failed to make an impact at Spurs since joining from Marseille for £9million in the summer of 2016 and looks set to return to his homeland.
He made his first start in two years in Sunday's FA Cup defeat at Crystal Palace, but put in a dismal display which might have convinced boss Mauricio Pochettino to let him go, despite a shortage of attacking players.
Pochettino had previously intimated that Nkoudou, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Burnley, was part of his plans in the wake of injuries to Harry Kane and Dele Alli and he set up Harry Winks' last-gasp winner against Fulham 10 days ago.
But Spurs are in talks with the Ligue 1 side, who have recently sacked Thierry Henry and replaced him with former boss Leonardo Jardim, and a deal looks set to get done before Thursday's transfer deadline.
Could Peter Crouch be on the move today? It certainly seems so.
The Stoke forward is on his way to Burnley in a deal that will likely see Sam Vokes head the other way to the Potteries.
Christopher Nkunku's move to Arsenal appears to have taken a step closer.
PSG have a replacement jetting in as we speak.
DC United's Luciano Acosta is flying to Paris ahead of a move, according to Sky Sports.
That would seem to free up Nkunku to move to Arsenal.
