With only a few hours left before the transfer window closes for the rest of the season, it’s time to take stock of some of the January signings that have been made to either strengthen a title challenge or stave off relegation.
More money has been spent than before but it seems that only a few clubs are splashing the cash. Both Chelsea and Spurs have made the biggest buys with the Blues bringing in players like Anelka (£15m) and Ivanovic (£8m) while Spurs have reinforced their defence with Hutton (£9m) and Woodgate (£8m).
There have also been a few shrewd loan signings such as the return of Fernandes to Everton and Milan Baros at Portsmouth – while Jari Litmanen has surprisingly been brought to Fulham.
There could still be a few more last ditch surprises in store but who do you think has been the best mid-season signing?
