The January transfer window is shut and Premier League clubs can no longer add to their squads for the second half of the season.

It was a quiet month of spending but some clubs were able to strengthen, some kept hold of their best players and others shed some of their deadwood.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the winners of the transfer window.

Ben Davies

Few enjoyed a final 24 hours of the transfer window more than defender Ben Davies. The 25-year-old was plying his trade for Preston in the Championship and pondering a summer move to Celtic. Now, after a defensive crisis at Liverpool saw the Premier League champions forced into action late in the window he is at Anfield following a whirlwind £500,000 move. Instead of preparing to play Rotherham this weekend, he will be in contention to face Manchester City in a possible season-defining match. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will be pleased with how things panned out on transfer deadline day as his side also signed Turkey central defender Ozan Kabak from Schalke.

Arsenal

As it was for many, 2020 was a tough year for Josh King. Linked with a January move to Manchester United, he stayed at Bournemouth and was unable to help them avoid relegation to the Championship. Then, amid reported summer interest from Premier League clubs, the Norway international remained with the Cherries, but did not exactly enjoy life at the lower level, failing to score in 12 appearances. Despite the poor season, with his contract up in six months, Jason Tindall's men decided to cash in on King, who suddenly found himself with a choice of Premier League clubs. The 29-year-old opted to join Everton and will now find himself playing alongside the likes of James Rodriguez, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.
