The most expensive January deadline day signings in Premier League history including Torres, Aubameyang and Carroll
The January transfer window is rapidly drawing to a close and there is still so much business to be done.Historically, Premier League clubs tend to splash the cash at the end of January – with varying levels of success.Carlo Ancelotti’s face suggested he knew signing Torres was a big risk8

At 11pm on Thursday evening, the window will officially shut but there have already been several big-money moves completed across Europe.Christian Pulisic will join Chelsea in the summer after a 52m move from Borussia Dortmund and Frenkie De Jong will become a Barcelona player at the end of the season after a 65m move.With Newcastle United poised to break their record transfer with the signing of Miguel Almiron, it got us thinking about all the biggest transfers in January deadline day history.So, without further ado, here are the biggest Deadline Day deals EVER in the Premier League.

Luis Suarez – Ajax to Liverpool (22.7m)

After Fernando Torres’ move to Chelsea (more on that later) Liverpool decided to make a splash in the transfer market by bringing the highly-rated Uruguay international to Anfield in 2011.Although his time on Merseyside was filled with controversy, he brought excitement and goals to Liverpool during his three-and-a-half year stint.In 2014, Barcelona swooped for the striker with a whopping 65m bid and Suarez has since gone on to become one of the best No.9’s in the world

David Luiz – Benfica to Chelsea (25.5m)

After an incredible first season where he won the Premier League and FA Cup, Carlo Ancelotti found his second season in charge of Chelsea rather more difficult.Keen to get the Blues back in the title race, the Italian brought Benfica starlet David Luiz to Stamford Bridge in 2011.Chaotic and sometimes error-strewn, the Brazil international left for Paris Saint-Germain in 2014. But he would return to the club just two years later at a massively reduced price.

Lucas Moura – Paris Saint-Germain to Tottenham Hotspur (25m)

Moura is finally settling into life in the Premier League8

Despite being linked with moves to Manchester United and Inter Milan in the past, Moura moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2013 for a club-record fee.But when international colleague Neymar arrived in the summer of 2017, the winger soon found himself warming the bench.Although he failed to set the Premier League alight following his move in 2018, the 26-year-old is showing the quality which made him such a wanted man across Europe when he was at Santos.

Juan Cuadrado – Fiorentina to Chelsea (26.8m)

Cuadrado’s move to Chelsea did not work out as planned8

After a stellar World Cup in Brazil, Cuadrado finally got his dream move when he joined Chelsea in 2015.Blessed with pace and a direct style of dribbling meant to instil fear into Premier League defences, the Colombia winger never quite managed to live up to his promise.Now at Juventus, the 30-year-old is content to play second fiddle to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Andy Carroll – Newcastle United to Liverpool (35m)

Injuries and inconsistency have wreaked havoc on Carroll’s career ever since this move8
Injuries and inconsistency have wreaked havoc on Carroll’s career ever since this move
When Newcastle were promoted in 2010, Carroll terrorised defences in the top flight with his power and aggression often leaving members of the opposition lying in his wake.Such barbarism led Kenny Dalglish to believe the Geordie was going to be the perfect No.9 to partner Luis Suarez up front.Having already arrived at the club with an injury, Carroll never regained the form and fitness he once had at his boyhood club and a move to West Ham followed.

Fernando Torres – Liverpool to Chelsea (50m)

Torres broke the hearts of Liverpool fans everywhere in 20118

The transfer which rocked the entire country, Fernando Torres swapping Liverpool for Chelsea will go down in Premier League history.The World Cup winner was showing signs of physical strain having been the main man at Liverpool, but jumped at the chance to move to a ‘top club’.Although his move was seen as a waste of money, his trophy haul from Stamford Bridge and pivotal role in getting the club to the Champions League Final in 2012 should not be ignored.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – Borussia Dortmund to Arsenal (56m)

Aubameyang’s strike rate since moving to the Emirates has been phenomenal8

With questions about his future swirling, Arsene Wenger played an ace in the hole last January by making Aubameyang his last signing at Arsenal.The Gabon international arrived at a dark time of the club, having been knocked out by Nottingham Forrest in the FA Cup and then seen Alexis Sanchez join Manchester United.While the striker still has some way to go to suggest his signing has been a complete success, his 25 Premier League goals in just 37 games suggest he will be a frightening prospect for years to come.
