The January transfer window concluded with some record-breaking moves, and some deals that left fans scratching their heads.
In the Premier League, Chelsea were by far and away the most active team, spending close to £300 million for the month, including a British record £107m for Enzo Fernandez's move from Benfica.
Manchester United, however, did not buy a single player to strengthen their push for a top-four place but bolstered their options with loan signings.
The club sought cover for the injured Christian Eriksen by bringing in Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich on deadline day.
Also, manager Erik ten Hag signed Netherlands forward Wout Weghorst – who was on loan at Turkish club Besiktas from Burnley – while Jack Butland's arrival added depth to the goalkeeping options.

Pox that threatens the Middle East's native species
Camelpox
Caused by a virus related to the one that causes human smallpox, camelpox typically causes fever, swelling of lymph nodes and skin lesions in camels aged over three, but the animal usually recovers after a month or so. Younger animals may develop a more acute form that causes internal lesions and diarrhoea, and is often fatal, especially when secondary infections result. It is found across the Middle East as well as in parts of Asia, Africa, Russia and India.
Falconpox
Falconpox can cause a variety of types of lesions, which can affect, for example, the eyelids, feet and the areas above and below the beak. It is a problem among captive falcons and is one of many types of avian pox or avipox diseases that together affect dozens of bird species across the world. Among the other forms are pigeonpox, turkeypox, starlingpox and canarypox. Avipox viruses are spread by mosquitoes and direct bird-to-bird contact.
Houbarapox
Houbarapox is, like falconpox, one of the many forms of avipox diseases. It exists in various forms, with a type that causes skin lesions being least likely to result in death. Other forms cause more severe lesions, including internal lesions, and are more likely to kill the bird, often because secondary infections develop. This summer the CVRL reported an outbreak of pox in houbaras after rains in spring led to an increase in mosquito numbers.
