Deadline day key events
"He never complained": Maresca comments on professionalism of Chelsea departee
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has revealed that Joao Felix "never complained" about his lack of minutes despite ultimately joining AC Milan on loan.
Felix returned to Stamford Bridge during the summer in a £46.3m deal, there being potential for the Portugal international to hold down a regular starting spot.
Despite scoring seven times in all competitions, Felix was restricted to just 364 minutes in the Premier League, making just three starts.
As a result, the 25-year-old has been allowed to link up with Milan on a loan deal for the remainder of the campaign without Chelsea acquiring a replacement.
'An essential signing': Gonzalez compared to Rice, City's transfer business assessed
Manchester City expert Steven McInerney from Esteemed Kompany believes that the signing of Nico Gonzalez is an "essential" one to address Pep Guardiola's "clear" weaknesses in his midfield.
The Citizens confirmed the signing of Gonzalez from Porto for a reported £50m on transfer deadline day, with the 23-year-old penning a four-and-a-half-year deal to keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2029.
The fact that it took Man City until the final day of the transfer window to recruit any kind of reinforcement in the midfield area, where their struggles have been well-documented ever since Ballon d'Or winner Rodri suffered a season-ending knee injury back in September, is perhaps one of the biggest surprises of Man City's window.
Could the prolific Obi Martin solve Man United's goalscoring issues?
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has suggested that Chido Obi Martin is not close to making his first-team debut for the Red Devils despite his excellent form since arriving at Old Trafford.
Obi Martin had an incredible 2023-24 campaign for Arsenal Under-18s, scoring 32 goals in 18 appearances, including 28 goals in his final nine appearances of the campaign, but he decided against penning a new deal with the Gunners in order to join Man United.
The 17-year-old has nine goals in 10 appearances for Man United at Under-18s and Under-21s level this term, including five goals in six outings in the Under-18s Premier League.
Due to the team's failure to sign a new striker in January, and the current struggles of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, Amorim was asked during his press conference on Thursday whether Obi Martin was close to being involved with the first team.
