Deadline day transfers – The biggest deals, best and worst signings

Worst signings

Forest have signed experienced defender Felipe for £2m. However, at 33 years of age, there will be question marks over whether he can cut it in the Premier League.

The centre-back has made just three appearances in La Liga this season. Forest also announced the signing of Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

But his lack of football and recent injury record is questionable. Meanwhile, Leicester signed young striker Nathan Opoku but immediately sent him out on loan, so he won’t be able to help the Foxes until next season at least.

Deals that didn’t happen

Rumours regarding Moises Caicedo’s move to Arsenal ceased pretty early on. Brighton were never going to sell this month and the Gunners turned their attention to Jorginho instead.

Conor Gallagher has stayed at Chelsea despite plenty of interest in the England star. Everton were reported to have offered £45m but Chelsea chose to sell Jorginho instead.

Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo was linked with a host of clubs but will stay put in Serie A. Leeds were one of those interested in the Italian but Jack Harrison remaining at Elland Road prevented that deal from materialising.
