Following a record-breaking summer filled with signings across the division, the Premier League transfer window closed on Monday.
Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz were the blockbusters that Liverpool and Manchester United did, but Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United also made significant spending decisions.
Ten of the most intriguing deals are examined by AFP Sport:
Alexander Isak (Newcastle to Liverpool)
With a British record swoop for the Sweden striker, whose £125 million ($169 million) signing ended Liverpool’s remarkable spending spree of more than $ 400 million, the Reds finally acquired their man.
Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool)

The German playmaker immediately set his sights on “winning everything every year” with the Premier League champions after signing an initial $100 million in a deal that could rise to $116 million.

The Italy goalkeeper has reportedly been lured to the Etihad Stadium in a £26 million deal after City boss Pep Guardiola decided to leave his long-serving number one, who is set to join Turkish side Fenerbahce, just months after playing a key role in PSG’s maiden Champions League title.
Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Manchester United’
With Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha joining the new faces in a £200 million revamp that will determine whether their manager’s reign is over, Ruben Amorim’s rework of his misfiring attack was completed with the £73 million arrival of the Slovenia striker.
(Manchester City to Everton) Jack Grealish
The fact that Jack is even better than I expected him to be his is the biggest compliment I can make of him.

The flamboyant England winger’s stock had fallen so far that he was allowed to join Everton on a season-long loan deal, despite City paying a then British record £100 million for the deal to sign him from Aston Villa. His improved performance suggests a potential career renaissance.
Lisbon to Arsenal Viktor Gyokeres
The Sweden international was moved to the Emirates after being inspired by Arsenal’s stunning 5-1 win over Sporting last season. He accepted a £64 million offer from Mikel Arteta, who was subsequently given the opportunity to make a prolific target man the centerpiece of his attack.
Chelsea vs. Manchester United Alejandro Garnacho
After losing his job to Manchester United manager Amorim, the Argentine winger hopes to resurrect his career there after signing for Chelsea for $ 40 million.
(Stuttgart to Newcastle) Nick Woltemade
The signing of the Germany striker, who is six feet six inches (1.98 meters) tall, places a huge pressure on the 23-year-old, who is known for his creativity as well as his aerial prowess, to reach the club-record £69 million cap.
Xavi Simons (Pottsburg to Leipzig)
Thomas Frank, who paid £51 million to bring the 22-year-old to north London after scoring 22 goals and contributing 24 goals in 78 appearances for Leipzig, is now the standout signing for the talented Dutch midfielder.
(Manchester United vs. Aston Villa) Jadon Sancho
The most recent addition to Aston Villa is Jadon Sancho.

England winger Sancho signed for Birmingham on a temporary deal after following in the footsteps of United teammate Marcus Rashford, who is currently at Barcelona. After a disappointing loan spell with Chelsea last season, he hopes Villa boss Unai Emery can rekindle his stagnant career.
