Story summary

Arsenal are planning to make new signings in January, after having a quiet Deadline Day where they were unable to secure Julian Alvarez. Meanwhile, Chelsea had a dramatic finale to the transfer window, selling Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City for £125m, which is a British record. The Blues had agreed a deal with Monaco for Lamine Camara to replace Fernandez, but that fell through. Now, Chelsea are reportedly targeting Pablo Barrios from Atletico Madrid, who could cost up to €100m in January. Additionally, Tottenham Hotspur signed two new players on Deadline Day and is now negotiating the sale of Richarlison to Trabzonspor in Turkey.
