The final day of the 2025 summer transfer window saw a flurry of last-minute deals across English football as clubs scrambled to reinforce their squads before the 1 September deadline.
Brighton & Hove Albion completed a significant signing by securing Caden Martinez from LA Galaxy, boosting their attacking options with the young American international. Their defensive line was also bolstered with the deadline-day acquisition of Kwadwo Guehi from Crystal Palace, aiming to add depth at right-back.
Manchester City engaged in active business, sealing the deal for Dominic Gomez from Borussia Dortmund for a reported £45m. The attacking midfielder had been closely monitored throughout the summer with Pep Guardiola keen to inject creativity into his squad.
Raheem Sterling, after a period of uncertainty regarding his future at Chelsea, finalized a transfer to Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal on a three-year contract, reigniting their frontline ahead of the new campaign. This move marked one of the most talked-about deadline day exits.
Meanwhile, Everton's efforts to strengthen their midfield saw them close a loan deal for Freiburg's Lorenz Fahrlender. The 23-year-old German is expected to provide energy and control in the middle of the park as Everton push to improve their league standing.
Across the Premier League, numerous smaller but strategic moves were completed. Southampton secured the loan of Brentford winger Elijah Mertens, and Newcastle United added depth to their defense with a late loan signing of Napoli's Matteo De Luca.
Overall, the deadline day underscored a competitive market with clubs actively seeking both immediate impact players and promising talents, reflecting the intensity and financial muscle present in English football's top tiers for the 2025–26 season.
