Man City make second signing: The deadline day done deals you might have missed

in , , , , , , ,

Deadline day is finally here, which means clubs across Europe are scrapping to get deals done before the transfer window closes.

Arsenal have completed perhaps the most high-profile signing of the month, luring Denis Suarez on loan from Barcelona.

However, aside from Suarez, there have been plenty of moves you might have missed. But don’t worry – Squawka is here to help.

We’ve compiled a list of the done deals that may have slipped under your radar in the final few hours of the transfer window.

Jonny Otto

From: Atletico Madrid

To: Wolves

Fee: £18m

Jonny has settled quickly in England since joining Wolves on loan from Atletico Madrid last summer, and the Midlands club has moved quickly to tie the Spaniard down on a permanent deal.

Strangely, Jonny didn’t play a single game for Atletico, moving to Wolves immediately after signing for the La Liga giants from Celta Vigo. The 24-year-old, who is now Wolves’ joint-record signing, will be aiming to show Atletico what they’re missing.

Sebastian Giovinco

From: Toronto

To: Al-Hilal

Fee: £1.5-2.5m

With 73 goals and 43 assists in 125 matches, Sebastian Giovinco is regarded as one of the best players in the history of Toronto and the entire MLS. The 32-year-old has taken the decision to spend the next part of his career in Saudi Arabia.

Giovinco scored 17 direct free-kicks in MLS, more than any other player in the history of the competition.

Ante Palaversa

From: Hajduk Split

To: Manchester City

Fee: Undisclosed (loaned back to Hajduk until summer 2020)

This time last year, Manchester City signed Aymeric Laporte to strengthen their bid for the Premier League title. There have been no high-profile arrivals through the door this time around, but the champions have still been recruiting.

Ante Palaversa, a promising 18-year-old from Croatian club Hajduk Split, has agreed to join City but has been immediately loaned back to Hajduk until the end of the 2019/20 season.

Scott Hogan

From: Aston Villa

To: Sheffield United

Fee: Loan

Expected to help Aston Villa’s push for promotion when he joined from Brentford in January 2017, Scott Hogan’s time in the Midlands hasn’t exactly gone to plan. He has scored just seven Championship goals for Villa in two years.

The striker now has the chance to aid another side’s Premier League dream, signing for third-placed Sheffield United on loan until the end of the season.

Antonio Barreca

From: Monaco

To: Newcastle United

Fee: Loan (with £9m option to buy)

Newcastle have certainly been more busy than many expected. Full-back Antonio Barreca, who has made seven Ligue 1 appearances at left-back for Monaco this season, has joined on loan for the remainder of the campaign.

The Magpies have an option to sign the 23-year-old permanently for £9 million if Barreca settles in the Premier League.

Tyrone Mings

From: Bournemouth

To: Aston Villa

Fee: Loan (with option to buy)

Within a month of joining Bournemouth in the summer of 2015, Tyrone Mings suffered a serious knee injury. Since his return he has struggled to break into the first-team, and Eddie Howe has finally allowed the defender to leave on loan.

It is believed Aston Villa fought off competition from other Championship clubs to sign Mings on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy in the summer.
