The 2025 January transfer window has opened, with Premier League clubs eyeing reinforcements midway through another gruelling campaign.
An array of teams in the English top flight will be strengthened during the winter window as those from top to the bottom of the table look to finish strong. The last chance to bolster ranks before the end of the term, it may prove an opportunity too good to be wasted for many.
Just £96.2m was spent during 2024’s January window and it remains to be seen how active Premier League sides are in the market this year. With financial restrictions in place, clubs will have to strike a balance between money-management and improving on-field performances.
Here are all the done deals from the 2025 January window in the Premier League.

Arsenal are unlikely to make many additions to their squad over the January window, but a long-term injury to talisman Bukayo Saka could force their hand. They have reportedly struck a deal for long-term midfield target Martin Zubimendi, although that move won’t happen until the summer.
