Premier League Deadline Day Round-Up: Michy Batshuayi, Almiron and Tielemans

Michy Batshuayi

Deadline Day, once again, saw a flurry of activity. Numerous Premier League teams were scrambling to obtain the final pieces of their respective jigsaws as we enter the business end of the season. Here, we pick three of the best deals involving those sides from the English top-flight, as well as giving you a quick run-through of all the deals completed involving Premier League teams today.

Signings of the Day

Palace Bring Batshuayi in on Loan

There had been all sort of rumours linking Michy Batshuayi away from Chelsea throughout January, with Monaco deemed to be the front-runners for most of the month.

However, rumours started to circulate on the morning of deadline day that West Ham were interested, seemingly due to the injury fear over Marko Arnautovic and the poor form of Andy Carroll.

Once this rumour was solid, it always seemed likely that the Belgian would stay in England, but Crystal Palace came out of nowhere with a late move and it paid off. They landed the 25-year-old on a deal until the end of the season, adding a semi-proven striker to their misfiring ranks.

Jordan Ayew and Connor Wickham are the only strikers to have scored for the Eagles this season, with Wickham’s goal coming against Spurs in the FA Cup and Ayew’s strike coming against Wolves.

The addition of Batshuayi could just be enough for them to pull away from the relegation zone and secure another season of Premier League football.

 

Newcastle Break Bank For Almiron

Newcastle United broke their transfer record today, completing the signing of Paraguayan forward Miguel Almiron from MLS outfit Atlanta United.

He joins for a fee of around £20 million and the playmaker could be exactly what Newcastle need in their fight for survival, as well as in the future.

Almiron is highly thought of over in the States and it was only a matter of time before he made the move across the pond to Europe, and the Magpies ended up being his preferred destination.

 

Foxes Loan Tielemans From Monaco

Leicester City had a re-jigging in their midfield. While Andy King, a member of their 2016 title-winning squad, made a loan move to the Championship, the Foxes brought in their own loan in the form of Monaco and Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans.

The 21-year-old burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old at Anderlecht and has been one of the most talked about youngsters in European football ever since.

For a mid-table Premier League side to secure the services of such a big talent is a massive credit, and the club should be applauded for securing Tielemans’ services.

As part of the deal, Adrien Silva joined Monaco on loan for the rest of the season.
