The Premier League`s brief first transfer window has now concluded, marking a unique, short deadline day for clubs.
FIFA divided the usual summer window into two parts, allowing clubs involved in the Club World Cup a ten-day period to make signings. The main transfer market is scheduled to reopen on June 16.
Tuesday wasn`t bustling with activity. Chelsea attempted to sign several players but only secured one, while Manchester City completed a significant last-minute deal for Rayan Cherki, a key target.
