The transfer deadline is 6pm ET in England and France tonight. In Germany, the deadline is Noon ET. Italy’s deadline is 5pm ET, while the transfer window is already closed in Spain. Portugal’s deadline is tomorrow at Noon ET.

To catch up on some of the good buys and bad buys from earlier in the January transfer window, read Kartik Krishnaiyer’s columns from last week, the week before and three weeks before where Kartik gave his views on the Wilfried Bony transfer.

So far, the £28 million signing of Wilfried Bony by Manchester City is the biggest transfer deal of the window.
