The Transfer window is a crucial time in the Footballing calendar. It gives clubs all around the world to build a stronger squad and replace their weakest links. So it’s no surprise that it becomes a stressful few weeks for the club management in every league. Rumours flying around and players being linked to various clubs are all very exciting for the fans as well. Without a doubt, the most stressful and exhilarating day of the Transfer Window is Deadline Day.
So with the Deadline Day for the Summer Transfer window ending last night let’s take at the top 5 transfers that transpired on the final day of the transfer window.
1. Raheem Sterling Loan to Arsenal
All Raheem Sterling needs to do next in his career is join Manchester United and then sign for Tottenham to be the first and only player to have donned the jerseys of all the Premier League’s top 6 clubs! The out-of-favour Chelsea player joined forces with former coach Mikel Arteta at Arsenal. One of the Premier League’s best players 4 to 5 seasons back, it remains to be seen if the former Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea player shines at the Emirates too.
2. Jadon Sancho Loan to Chelsea (with an Obligation to buy for $25 M)
The former Manchester United player will be wearing Blue this season. No not City’s blue. But rather Sancho will be seen playing in the Chelsea Blue. Chelsea’s new addition will provide cover after the departure of Raheem Sterling. Sancho will be hoping to fulfil more than just a squad player club for the London club and carry on from his performances for Dortmund last season.
3. Ivan Toney Transfer to Al-Ahli ($52 Million)
The winner of the most unexpected transfer of the window goes to Ivan Toney! Touted to join Chelsea for the past few days, it seems that Ivan Toney has chosen an even more luxurious project. Of course, not in the sporting sense, but rather in a financial way. The former Brentford player is all set to join Saudi Club Al-Ahli after he seemingly rejected Chelsea at the last moment.
4. Manuel Ugarte Transfer to Manchester United ($55.8 Million)
The Uruguayan has finally been announced as a new Manchester United player and will surely prove to be a great addition to Erik Ten Hag’s Red Devils. Manchester United have capped off their Transfer window with a banger of a signing in Manuel Ugarte and now with a much stronger squad than before, will be expected to show up on the pitch.
5. Scott McTominay Transfer to Napoli ($33 Million)
After 22 long years since signing up for the Manchester United Youth program, Old Trafford’s very own, Scott McTominay will be leaving the Mancunian club behind as he joins the Italian side and 2022/23 Serie A winners, Napoli.
