The Premier League's January transfer window for 2026 has now been active for two full weeks, sparking a flurry of early activity across England's top flight. While some of the division's traditional heavyweights are biding their time, other clubs have wasted no time in securing what could be season-defining signings.
Big-Money Moves Dominate Early Window
The most significant transaction so far has seen Antoine Semenyo complete a £62.5 million switch from Bournemouth to Manchester City. The Ghanaian forward has immediately impressed at the Etihad Stadium, offering Pep Guardiola's side a potent new attacking option. In another major deal, Crystal Palace invested £35 million to sign Brennan Johnson from Tottenham Hotspur, signalling their ambition under the Selhurst Park lights.
West Ham United have also been notably active, bolstering their squad with two substantial purchases. They secured defender Pablo Felipe from Gil Vicente for £22 million and added firepower up front with the £25 million acquisition of striker Valentin Castellanos from Lazio.
Clubs Yet to Stir in the Market
Despite the early buzz, several giants of the English game have refrained from making first-team additions thus far. Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United have all yet to confirm any senior signings as the window reaches its midway point. However, with the Gunners locked in a tight title race and the battle for Champions League qualification intensifying, movement from these clubs before the deadline is widely anticipated.
Liverpool's only incoming has been the arrival of youngster Mor Talla Ndiaye from Amitié FC for an undisclosed fee, while Manchester United have seen no incomings or outgoings at the senior level following Michael Carrick's appointment.

The race for the top four remains fiercely contested, meaning strategic reinforcements could prove decisive in the final months of the campaign.
