Deadline day transfers: Liverpool snap up Kabak, Davies while Everton seal Josh King deal

With the January 2021 transfer window coming to a close on Monday, February 1, several clubs across Europe rushed to complete deals that could possibly change their fortunes between now and the end of the season. Arguably the biggest news in the Premier League came from Liverpool, as the Reds signed two centre-backs. In total, Premier League clubs spent just £84.2m for transfers in January, with the biggest deal — Amad Diallo's £37m move from Atalanta to Manchester United — being agreed in the summer.

Deadline day transfers: Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak to Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool landed two players on transfer deadline day even when the arrival of one had previously seemed unlikely at Anfield. The Reds snapped up Ben Davies from Preston North End for a reported £1.6m and also allowed Sepp Van Den Berg to join Preston on loan. Liverpool also got a deal for Ozan Kabak, who will join the club from Schalke on loan until the end of the season with the option to buy in the summer.

The reigning Premier League champions are now better equipped to deal with Virgil van Dijk's continued absence through injury as well as other absentees in the squad. On Monday, it was revealed that centre-back Joel Matip will miss the remainder of the season due to an ankle injury. Liverpool also decided to loan out Takumi Minamino in a bid for the Japanese international to get more game time at south coast club Southampton.

Unfortunately for Dele Alli, his loan move to PSG was blocked by Spurs chief Daniel Levy. Reports from The Guardian claim that Spurs rejected three offers from the Ligue 1 giants to keep hold of Alli, despite the Englishman being frozen out by manager Jose Mourinho.
