From Alexandre Pato to Oumar Niasse, Daniel Amartey, Benik Afobe to Charlie Austin, the Guardian looks at the business conducted by the Premier League clubs this transfer window.
Arsenal
Ins Mohamed Elneny (Basel, £7.4m)
Outs Mathieu Debuchy (Bordeaux, loan), Glen Kamara (Southend United, loan), Gedion Zelalem (Rangers, loan extended)
A drama-free, shock-free window. Arsène Wenger wanted cover in central midfield, a player with the capacity to play the defensive role and he got Mohamed Elneny, who looks like a smart signing. He did not want anyone else, and so he did not get anyone else. End of story. The return of injured players pleases the manager more. David Hytner
Aston Villa
Ins None
Outs Joe Cole (Coventry City, free), Callum Robinson (Preston North End, loan), Joe Bennett (Sheffield Wednesday, loan), Gary Gardner (Nottm Forest, loan), José Angel Crespo (Rayo Vallecano, loan), Jed Steer (Huddersfield), Tiago Ilori (Liverpool, loan ended), Philippe Senderos (released)
It has been a miserable January in the market for Villa. Rémi Garde's side are 10 points adrift of safety and have failed to sign a single player during the window. They had tracked the Ivorian forward Seydou Doumbia before his loan move from Roma to Newcastle, while deals for Loïc Rémy, Mathieu Debuchy and Wahbi Khazri never materialised. James Riach

Bournemouth
Ins Lewis Grabban (Norwich City, £7m), Benik Afobe (Wolves, £9m), Juan Iturbe (Roma, loan), Rhoys Wiggins (Sheffield Wednesday, £200,000), Marius Adamonis (FK Atlantas, loan)
Outs Jayden Stockley (Exeter City, loan), Yann Kermorgant (Reading, loan), Lee Tomlin (Bristol City, loan), Elliott Ward (Blackburn, undisc.), Alessandro Cannataro (released), Tomas Andrade (released), Ryan Allsop (Wycombe Wanderers, loan)
While the Argentinian winger Juan Iturbe still looks like a rabbit in the headlights at times, Benik Afobe, the club's record signing from Wolves, has settled quickly, scoring two goals in as many matches. Lewis Grabban, who returned to Bournemouth after an 18-month hiatus at Norwich, is popular with team-mates but will need time to convince he is worth an inflated £7m fee second time around. Eddie Howe certainly now has enough firepower at his disposal for the final straight, though. Ben Fisher
Chelsea
Ins Alexandre Pato (Corinthians, loan), Matt Miazga (New York Red Bulls, undisc.)
Outs Wallace (Grêmio, loan), Papy Djilobodji (Werder Bremen, loan), Alex Kiwomya (Fleetwood, loan), Christian Atsu (Málaga, loan), Ramires (Jiangsu Suning, £24.3m), Patrick Bamford (Norwich City, loan), Charly Musonda (Real Betis, loan), Mitchell Beeney (Newport, loan), Marco van Ginkel (PSV Eindhoven, loan)
The window ended up feeling like a clearing of the decks. Ramires' departure for a hefty fee will help financially in the summer if players on Champions League contracts have not secured Champions League football. But the arrivals of Pato and Miazga hardly had the pulses racing, and some of the club's younger players might surely have merited an opportunity instead. Dominic Fifield
Crystal Palace
Ins Emmanuel Adebayor (free)
Outs Jonny Williams (MK Dons, loan), Jack Hunt (Sheffield Wednesday, £1.2m), Jake Gray (Hartlepool, loan), Jerome Binom-Williams (Leyton Orient, loan)
The window was largely one of frustration, with Palace's interest in the likes of Islam Slimani and Khouma Babacar put on hold by their current clubs' valuations. Instead, they secured Emmanuel Adebayor, who has played 17 minutes of Premier League football in a year, in the hope he retains an appetite to flourish in the English game. A risk? Perhaps not on a short-term, incentivised deal. DF

Everton
Ins Oumar Niasse (Lokomotiv Moscow, £13.5m), Shani Tarashaj (Grasshoppers, £3m), Matty Foulds (Bury, undisc.)
Outs Steven Naismith (Norwich City, £8.5m) , Aiden McGeady (Sheffield Wednesday, loan) Liam Walsh (Yeovil Town, loan) , Shani Tarashaj (Grasshoppers, loan)
Roberto Martínez wanted to trim his squad but after banking £8.5m for Steven Naismith, allowing Aiden McGeady to leave on loan and missing out on Sam Byram, he brought forward interest in Oumar Niasse and made the Lokomotiv Moscow striker one of the biggest transfers of the January window. The Senegal international provides another option to a team and manager in urgent need of a revival, while another promising forward, Shani Tarashaj, was secured ahead of a summer arrival. Andy Hunter
Leicester City
Ins Daniel Amartey (FC Copenhagen, £5m), Demarai Gray (Birmingham City, £3m), Daniel Iversen (Esbjerg, undisc.)
Outs Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim, loan), Joe Davies (Fleetwood Town, undisc.), Alie Sesay (Barnet, undisc.), Jak McCourt (Barnsley, undisc.), Simonas Stankevicius (Zalgiris, undisc.), Tom Lawrence (Cardiff City, loan), Yohan Benalouane (Fiorentina, loan), Ritchie de Laet (Middlesbrough, loan)
The coup of Leicester's transfer window, arguably, is the capacity to Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez. Still, attack has been a priority - their pursuit of a new striker has been determined but difficult. The new recruits, Demarai Gray and Daniel Amartey, add depth and ability for the run-in and beyond. Amy Lawrence
Liverpool
Ins Marko Grujic (Red Star Belgrade, £5,1m); Steven Caulker (Queens Park Rangers, loan), Kevin Stewart (Swindon, recalled from loan), Tiago Ilori (Aston Villa, recalled from loan)
Outs Marko Grujic (Red Star Belgrade, loan); Ryan Fulton (Portsmouth, loan); Allan Rodrigues de Souza (Sint Truidense, loan)
Jürgen Klopp's first transfer window as Liverpool manager was frustrated by Shakhtar Donetsk's (EURO)70m valuation of Alex Teixeira and their insistence the Brazilian forward will not be sold until the summer. Interest in Schalke defender Joel Matip was also put on hold until the end of the season when the Cameroon international will be a free agent. There was success on Marko Grujic, however, with Liverpool beating Chelsea and Internazionale to a deal for Red Star Belgrade's highly-rated teenage playmaker. AH
Manchester City
Ins Anthony Caceres (Central Coast Mariners, undisc.)
Outs Anthony Caceres (Melbourne City, loan), Patrick Roberts (Celtic, loan), George Evans (Reading, undisc.), Shay Facey (Rotherham United, loan), Ian Lawlor (Bury, loan), Patrick Roberts (Celtic, loan), Bruno Zuculini (AEK Athens, loan)
Made the signing of the window on deadline day (albeit not a player) when they announced Pep Guardiola would take over as their new manager. In regard to more traditional business they have made no new signings when at least one central defender would have been welcome, given Vincent Kompany's ongoing injury problems and the unreliable form of Eliaquim Mangala, Nicolás Otamendi and Martin Demichelis. Jamie Jackson
Manchester United
Ins Adnan Januzaj (Borussia Dortmund, recalled from loan)
Outs Victor Valdés (Standard Liège, loan), Ben Pearson (Preston North End, undisc.), Liam Grimshaw (Preston North End, undisc.), Dean Henderson (Stockport County, loan), Kieran O'Hara (Morecambe, loan)
Considering Louis van Gaal's travails this season Manchester United's stumbling campaign could have been kick-started by one or two headline signings - but there were none. So the manager's challenge now is to try and shepherd the players he has to secure a top-three finish and/or claim the FA Cup. If he does this it would constitute progress but whether it would save his job is a whole other debate. JJ
Newcastle United
Ins Seydou Doumbia (Roma, loan), Henri Saivet (Bordeaux, £5m), Jonjo Shelvey (Swansea City, £12m), Andros Townsend (Tottenham Hotspur, £12m)
Outs Kyle Cameron (York City, loan), Mike Williamson (Wolves, undisc.), Lubo Satka (York City, loan), Florian Thauvin (Marseille, loan), Gael Bigirimana (Coventry City, loan), Shane Ferguson (Millwall, undisc.)
High in the European spending charts but very low in the Premier League. And despite splashing all that cash the squad is still not properly balanced. At least the midfield - a big source of lots of problems - has been refreshed with Jonjo Shelvey's arrival a coup but major chinks in the defensive armour remain, while the attacking solution looks a bit of a temporary fix. Will Newcastle come to regret not signing Charlie Austin when they could have done? Or not buying Davide Santon back from Internazionale? Louise Taylor

Norwich City
Ins Patrick Bamford (Chelsea, loan), Steven Naismith (Everton, £8.5m), Timm Klose (Wolfsburg, £8.5m), Ben Godfrey (York City, undisc.), Ivo Pinto (Dinamo Zagreb, £2.2m), Matt Jarvis (West Ham, £2.5m), Ebou Adams (Dartford, undisc.), James Maddison (Coventry, undisc.)
Outs Lewis Grabban (Bournemouth, £7m,), Gary Hooper (Sheff Weds, undisc.), Jamar Loza (Southend, loan), Elliott Bennett (Blackburn, undisc.), Jake Kean (Colchester, loan), James Maddison (Coventry, loan)
With his side two points above the bottom three, Alex Neil equalled Norwich's transfer record by signing Steven Naismith for £8.5m and the former Everton forward scored on his debut against Liverpool, but that deal was offset by the £7m sale of Lewis Grabban to Bournemouth. Having conceded 43 goals, Norwich also made defensive additions, signing Ivo Pinto from Dinamo Zagreb and Timm Klose from Wolfsburg. The 19-year-old midfielder James Maddison, a last-gasp signing from Coventry who will spend the rest of the season back on loan with the League One club, was highly coveted by big clubs and his addition could be a coup. Jacob Steinberg
Southampton
Ins Charlie Austin (Queens Park Rangers, £4m)
Outs Steven Caulker (QPR, loan ended), Sam McQueen (Southend, loan), Ryan Seager (Crewe Alexandra, loan), Gastón Ramírez (Middesbrough, loan)
A positive window. The priority was to ensure that the predators did not lure away any of the club's stars, chiefly Sadio Mané and Victor Wanyama and, also, to sign a centre-forward, so it was mission accomplished. There was not too much noise in the end around Mané or Wanyama while Charlie Austin was a snip at £4m. DH
Stoke City
Ins Giannelli Imbula (Porto, £18.3m)
Outs Steve Sidwell (Brighton & Hove Albion, loan), Eddy Lecygne (Doncaster Rovers, loan), Marco van Ginkel (Chelsea, loan ended)
Mark Hughes, after realising that Stoke would not be able to sign Saido Berahino from West Bromwich Albion, put all his transfer eggs into one basket with the arrival of Giannelli Imbula from Porto. His strategy paid dividends half an hour before the 11pm deadline, the highly-rated 23-year-old midfielder completing a club record deal worth £18.3m. The Belgian-born Frenchman joined Porto in 2013, becoming the most expensive player to join a Portuguese club. Marcus Christenson

Sunderland
Ins Wahbi Khazri (Bordeaux, £9m), Jan Kirchhoff (Bayern Munich, £750,000), Dame N'Doye (Trabzonspor, loan), Steve Harper (free), Lamine Koné (Lorient, £5m)
Outs Costel Pantilimon (Watford, undisc.), Liam Bridcutt (Leeds United, loan), Will Buckley (Birmingham City, loan), Danny Graham (Blackburn, loan), Lynden Gooch (Doncaster, loan), Sebastián Coates (Sporting, loan), Christian Mavrias (Fortuna Düsseldorf, loan), Steven Fletcher (Marseille, loan), Jordi Gómez (Blackburn Rovers, loan)
A slightly scattergun window which has raised more questions than answers on Wearside. Wahbi Khazri, Sunderland's £9m Tunisia international, playmaking, buy from Bordeaux, is supposed to have much in common with Mesut Özil. Can his undoubted talent keep Sunderland up? Or will his infamous bad temper undermine things? Is Lamine Koné, the new French £5m centre-half, any good? Only time will tell. LT
Swansea City
Ins Alberto Paloschi (Chievo, £8m), Leroy Fer (QPR, loan), Ryan Blair (Falkirk, undisc.)
Outs Gerhard Tremmel (Werder Bremen, loan), Jonjo Shelvey (Newcastle United, £12m), Franck Tabanou (St Etienne, loan), Éder (Lille, loan), Daniel Alfei (Mansfield, loan)
The most significant arrival was the Italian striker Alberto Paloschi, the Chievo forward who agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the club, having previously worked with coach Francesco Guidolin at Parma. Swansea did, though, allow Jonjo Shelvey to leave for Newcastle for £12m, while Leroy Fer was a late loan addition from Championship side QPR. JR
Tottenham Hotspur
Ins Shilow Tracey (Ebbsfleet United, undisc.)
Outs Andros Townsend (Newcastle United, £12m, left), Kenny McEvoy (York City, undisc.), Alex Pritchard (West Bromwich Albion, loan), Shaq Coulthirst (Peterborough, undisc.), Federico Fazio (Sevilla, loan), Milos Veljkovic (Werder Bremen, undisc.)
Tottenham are not historically associated with keeping their powder dry in the market but the Mauricio Pochettino era has been underpinned by calmness and precision. If there is nobody that he really wants, he is quite happy to sit tight. The belief he has in his players is admirable and galvanising. The reliance upon Harry Kane has some fans rather more nervous. DH
Watford
Ins Nordin Amrabat (Málaga, £6.7m), Abdoulaye Doucouré (Rennes, £8m), Costel Pantilimon (Sunderland, undisc.), Mario Suárez (Fiorentina, £4m), Adalberto Peñaranda (Udinese, undisc.)
Outs Alessandro Diamanti (Atalanta, loan), Uche Ikpeazu (Blackpool, loan), Giedrius Arlauskis (Espanyol, loan), Connor Smith (released), Diego Fabbrini (Birmingham, undisc.), Abdoulaye Doucouré (Granada, loan), Adalberto Peñaranda (Granada, loan)
Watford's league position meant they had no need to throw money around in January. They have, nevertheless, thrown money around, breaking their transfer record twice - phrases involving leopards and spots spring to mind - despite several failed pursuits. Still, the arrivals are obvious upgrades and Nordin Amrabat, who simultaneously offers pace, natural width and cover at centre-forward - all of which had previously been lacking - could be a key signing. Simon Burnton
West Bromwich Albion
Ins Sandro (Queens Park Rangers, loan), Alex Pritchard (Tottenham Hotspur, loan)
Outs Anders Lindegaard (Preston North End, loan), Adil Nabi (Peterborough, undisc.)
Tony Pulis spent more time criticising the existence of the window - "a circus" and "a frenzy" - than taking advantage of it. The club have been consistent in their disdain for the whole thing, and have now paid one transfer fee in the last four Januaries combined. A couple of midfielders arrived on loan, and after much frenzied speculation Saido Berahino, as promised, stayed put. SB
West Ham United
Ins Sam Byram (Leeds United, £3.7m), Emmanuel Emenike (Fenerbahce, loan)
Outs Matt Jarvis (Norwich City, £2.5m), Diego Poyet (Charlton, loan), Lewis Page (Cambridge, loan), Elliot Lee (Colchester, loan), Mauro Zárate (Fiorentina, £1.6m), Stephen Hendrie (Southend, loan)
West Ham were satisfied with their business, beating Everton to the signing of Sam Byram from Leeds United, completing a loan deal for Fenerbahce's Emmanuel Emenike and selling Mauro Zárate to Fiorentina. Byram looks promising at right-back and Emenike, capped 37 times by Nigeria, bolsters Slaven Bilic's attacking options. Nikica Jelavic could move to China once Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho regain fitness
