On a deadline day when most of the big news in the EPL was around players staying put, there were still some big signings, and it was Liverpool supporters who went to bed the happiest.
Sports betting fans watched expectantly as Alexis Sanchez, Virgil Van Dijk and Jonny Evans all looked to be on the move; but at the end of the night they were still at Arsenal, Southampton and West Brom respectively. While Liverpool didn’t pursue their interest in van Dijk, Jurgen Klopp did pick up an eye-catching recruit. In the deal which may shift the Premier League betting markets the most Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has made a £35m move from Arsenal to Liverpool after snubbing Chelsea.
Mo Salah has already settled impressively at Anfield following his switch from Roma, and with Phillipe Coutinho probably staying, it has to go down as a great window for the Reds.
Elsewhere, after spending record amounts on full-backs this summer, Manchester City’s failure to land Sanchez came down to Arsenal being unable to convince Monaco’s Thomas Lemar to move to the Emirates, despite Arsene Wenger’s £92m bid.
Chelsea’s £70m capture of Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid could still be the signing of the summer though, and Antonio Conte picked up another player he knows, David Zappacosta, from Torino.
Swansea made the eye-catching signing of Renato Sanches on a season-long loan from Bayern Munich, and he could certainly be one to watch.
