Arsenal
Arsenal concluded their summer’s business by sending experienced right-back Hector Bellerin on a season-long loan to Real Betis, and young winger Reiss Nelson on a season-loan to Feyenoord.
To replace Bellerin, Arsenal bought Japanese defender Takehiro Tomiyasu from Bologna for £19.8m, taking their summer transfer window spending to £132m, more than any other Premier League club.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa right-back Frederic Guilbert re-joined Ligue 1 side Strasbourg on a season-long loan, the same club he played for on loan in the second half of last season.
Brentford
19-year-old Brentford forward Alex Gilbert joined League 2 Swindon on a season-long loan.
Brighton
Brighton signed 23-year-old left-midfielder Marc Cucurella in a deal worth around £15m. The Seagulls also signed Abdallah Sima for £6.7m from Czech champions Slavia Prague. The 20-year-old striker then joined Championship side Stoke City on a season-long loan.
Burnley
Burnley signed Wales international Connor Roberts from Swansea, the right-back joining for £2.5m on a four-year deal.
Chelsea
Chelsea signed Spain international Saul Niguez on a season-long loan from La Liga champions Atletico Madrid. One of the biggest moves of the day, the Blues have the option to buy the 26-year-old at the end of the season.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace completed the signing of Odsonne Eduoard from Celtic for £14m. The Eagles will hope the Frenchman can capture the form he showed in Scotland, where he scored 88 goals in 179 appearances in all competitions.
Everton
Rafael Benitez will link up with Salomon Rondon again after Everton signed the Colombian striker on a free transfer from Chinese side Dalian Professional. Rondon, 31, played for Benitez when the Spaniard was in charge of Newcastle, and then was signed again by Benitez at Dalian.
Rondon was signed after Everton let striker Moise Kean re-join Juventus on a two-year loan, the deal including an obligation to buy the Italian for £24m in the summer of 2023. Left-back Niels Nkounkou also left Merseyside after joining Standard Liege on a season-long loan.
However, despite pushing for a move away, attacking midfielder James Rodriguez remains an Everton player.

Leeds
After missing out on Daniel James two-and-a-half years ago, Leeds completed the singing of Welsh winger from Manchester United in a deal worth £25m. James’ arrival opened the way for fellow winger Helder Costa to leave, the Portuguese joining Valencia on loan for the season.
Leicester
The Foxes signed winger Ademola Lookman on a season-long loan from RB Leipzig after allowing Belgian Dennis Praet to join Italian side Torino for the 2021/22 campaign.
Liverpool
Liverpool loaned young full-back Rhys Williams to Swansea after tying the Welshman down to a new contract, running until 2026.
Manchester City
English midfielder Patrick Roberts, who has 12 months left on his current contract with Manchester City, will spend the 2021/22 season on loan with French club ES Troyes.
Manchester United
Manchester United completed the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, twelve years after the Portugal captain last played for the club. That paved the way for Dan James to join Leeds, as mentioned above.
Newcastle United
Newcastle signed 19-year-old striker Santiago Munoz from Mexican club Santos Laguna on an 18-month loan deal with an option to buy, only their second incoming of the window.
Norwich City
Swiss defender Timm Klose left Norwich after mutually agreeing to terminate his contract, Norwich’s only major transfer action of the day.
Southampton
Irish striker Michael Obafemi joined Championship side Swansea for an undisclosed fee thought to be between £1.5m and £2m.
Tottenham
Tottenham signed right-back Emerson Royal, who had only joined Barcelona for £12.6m on August 2, for £22.5m. His arrival paved the way for Serge Aurier to leave the club, the 28-year-old Ivorian having his contract terminated by mutual consent.
Defender Cameron Carter-Vickers also left the club after signing for Celtic on a season-long loan.
Watford
Only outgoings for Watford on deadline day, the most prominent being Andre Gray moving to QPR on loan, and Nathaniel Chalobah and Domingos Quina both joining Fulham, the former for an undisclosed fee and the latter on a season-long loan.
West Ham United
It was a busy deadline day for West Ham, signing midfielders Nikola Vlasic and Alex Kral from CSKA Moscow and Spartak Moscow respectively. Vlasic, a Croatian international who featured in all four of his country’s games at EURO 2020, joins on a permanent deal worth £33.5m, while Kral has signed on a season-long loan.
Wolves
It was a disappointing deadline day for Wolves on the incoming front, their only business being the loaning out of promising young midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White to Sheffield United for the 2021/22 campaign. The Englishman extended his current deal with Wolves to 2024 before joining the Blades.
