Premier League clubs have been unusually quiet this winter transfer window with Tottenham so far the biggest spenders.
Spurs' £25million acquisition of defender Radu Dragusin from Genoa is the most expensive fee paid so far - a stark contrast from last year's record window.

A whopping £815m was spent on new players last January, which saw Chelsea break the British record on World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez.
So far in 2024, multiple players have departed and arrived on loan, with Timo Werner, Jadon Sancho and Ben Brereton Diaz the notable names to have secured temporary moves.
But with a week to go until deadline day, a number of high-profile stars could be set to swap clubs before the window reopens in the summer.
And it will come as no surprise if many teams opt to splash the cash as they prepare for a busy second of the season.
Here, talkSPORT.com runs you through seven of the biggest transfers that could still take place in January.
Ivan Toney
The man on everyone's lips going into 2024, the Brentford striker has been heavily linked with moves to Arsenal and Chelsea.
And he has done little to squash rumours, with the one-cap England international refusing to rule out a January move if a potential suitor meets the Bees' asking price.
It is understood the west London outfit have no intention of parting ways with the 27-year-old before the summer.
But having scored on his return to action last weekend following his eight-month ban for betting charges, it remains to be seen whether an interested club will look to try their luck.

Kieran Trippier
Just two years after moving to St James' Park in a £12m deal from Atletico Madrid, the 33-year-old could now depart Tyneside.
Bayern Munich are known admirers of the right-back, with the German giants recently having a £12.8m bid rejected.
But talkSPORT understands the Bundesliga holders are preparing a new offer in Thomas Tuchel's quest to snap up the ex-Spurs defender.
It is believed that Trippier has agreed a verbal agreement with the Allianz Arena outfit.
Newcastle's stance is that they do not want to lose Trippier this month, but they could reluctantly sell the full-back if the player attempts to force a move.

Kalvin Phillips
One player that looks set to change clubs this month is Manchester City midfielder Phillips.
The ex-Leeds star is set to link up with West Ham on loan after an agreement was reached with the Citizens.
As it stands, a buy option is yet to be agreed between the clubs.
West Ham will be covering all of his £160,000-a-week wages.
Phillips has found game time hard to come by at the Etihad, with the 28-year-old featuring in just 16 Premier League games since signing in 2022.
He has made just four top-flight appearances this term - totalling just 89 minutes.
8
Antonio Nusa
The Norwegian teenager could become Tottenham's third signing in January.
Though any deal would see the 18-year-old loaned back to Club Brugge should they find an agreement with the Belgian side.
talkSPORT understands the two teams are in advanced talks, with the teenager valued at £25m.
Nusa, who has been capped four times for Norway's national side, has chipped in with four goals and three assists in 27 matches for Brugge this campaign.
8
Gio Reyna
One of the surprise transfers that could take place before deadline day is Borussia Dortmund starlet Reyna joining Forest on loan.
With Manchester United winger Sancho back at Signal Iduna Park on loan, Reyna has been pushed further down the pecking order.
And this has seen the Reds look to bring the 21-year-old to the City Ground in an audacious swoop.
It is believed that any potential deal could see a buy option included in the contract.
Reyna recently switched agents to work alongside Jorge Mendes, who helped facilitate Nuno Espirito Santo's appointment at Forest.
8
Miguel Almiron
A Newcastle fan favourite, Almiron is seemingly set to end his five-year stay with the Toon.
Since joining from MLS side Atlanta, he has banged in 30 goals in 195 games - with 11 of his strikes coming last season as helped the Magpies finish fourth.
But he has struggled for form this term, with Newcastle willing to part ways with the Paraguay international.
talkSPORT understands that an agreement has been reached between Newcastle and Saudi side Al Shabab.
While the deal is not done yet, Almiron is open to a new adventure in the Middle East.
8
Armando Broja
Since returning from his Southampton loan spell, the 22-year-old has scored just two Premier League goals in the last two seasons.
He has struggled to be a regular starter under Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, Frank Lampard and now Mauricio Pochettino.
The striker is a target for Wolves, West Ham and Fulham this month, but a loan move is seen as more likely that a permanent Chelsea exit.
Chelsea would consider a sale in the region of £35m, but it remains to be seen whether any suitor would stump up that fee.
