When does the January transfer window close for Premier League clubs?

Chelsea’s capture of Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund for £58million has been the biggest deal of the January window so far.

However, the American forward has been loaned back to the Bundesliga club for the remainder of the season.

The Blues have also been heavily linked with a move for Gonzalo Higuain in what would be major coup for Maurizio Sarri.

Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are yet to open their cheque books but there is still time for some new arrivals.

Elsewhere in the Premier League Bournemouth have also been busy in the winter transfer market.

The Cherries splashed out £20m to sign striker Dominic Solanke from Liverpool, while also taking Nathaniel Clyne on loan.

Relegation-threatened Fulham have signed former Reds winger Ryan Babel from Turkish side Besiktas in deal reported to be worth £1.8m.
