It was a relatively quiet January transfer window in England, with the big guns electing to keep their stash in the bank and make do with the players at their disposal.
Most of the deals were done by the mid-table and lower league clubs, as they struggle to secure their place among the elite next season. Below are ten notable moves from the recent January transfer window.
5Memphis Depay (Manchester United to Lyon)
It is remarkable how much Memphis Depay’s stock has fallen in the past 18 months; from Eredivisie player of the season and highest goal scorer in 2015 to an unwanted player in Manchester United in 2017.
Many expect the prodigiously talented Depay to bounce back to relevance in the colours of Lyon, and still end up on the books of one of the biggest clubs in the world. The deal is believed to be worth about £21.7 million.
