The Premier League's January transfer window officially opened on January 1, and with it came some big moves for the teams in England's top flight.
One of the most significant deals of the day was the signing of Liverpool forward Sadio Mane from Southampton for a reported fee of £24 million ($35 million). Mane is expected to provide competition for the likes of Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino up front, while also providing depth and creativity in midfield.
Another notable deal was the loan move of Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard to West Ham United. The 29-year-old has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford for some time, but this move seems to be his best opportunity yet to get regular game time.
In the north-west of England, Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho joined Porto on loan until June 30. The 36-year-old has struggled for form since joining City last summer, and this move could give him the chance to regain his place in the team.
Finally, Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies joined West Bromwich Albion on loan until the end of the season. Davies has struggled for first-team opportunities at Spurs under manager Mauricio Pochettino, and this move gives him the chance to gain more experience and develop his game.
Overall, the January transfer window has seen some big deals in the Premier League, with several key players moving clubs or being loaned out. It remains to be seen how these transfers will impact the teams' performances in the coming months.
