The 2025 summer Transfer Deadline Day in the Premier League was marked by thrilling activity across clubs, ending the window with significant moves and a record-breaking fee.

Late drama unfolded as Crystal Palace abruptly halted the reported transfer of Marc Guehi to Liverpool at the last minute. Manchester United, having ended their pursuit of Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez, opted to sign goalkeeper Senne Lammens instead.

Tottenham Hotspur made a notable loan signing by bringing in Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani, while Aston Villa strengthened their squad with the arrivals of Jadon Sancho and Harvey Elliott. Arsenal invested in new talent by acquiring Piero Hincapie, even as Nicolas Jackson’s long-awaited transfer to Bayern Munich was finalized a few days later than planned.



Other key moves included former West Ham full-back Emerson joining Marseille and Crystal Palace striker Odsonne Edouard transferring to Lens. Arsenal also saw the departure of Albert Sambi Lokonga and Fabio Vieira, both moving to Hamburg. Everton forward Youssef Chermiti completed a transfer to Rangers.



Overall, the day was considered a classic and one of the most dynamic deadline days in recent memory, highlighting Premier League clubs’ aggressive approach to improving their squads with both high-profile and strategic signings before the transfer window closed.
