English Premier League: Winter Football Transfer Window 2026
By Prof Dr Ian Blackshaw
The 2026 Winter transfer window has closed, and the English Premier League has recorded its quietest deadline day with only seven deals completed on 2 February 2026.
Not a single arrival was confirmed until 19:04 Greenwich Mean Time - four minutes after the window closed - with Crystal Palace FC announcing the signing of striker Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves FC in a deal worth up to £48 million (around €55.6 million).
Five further deals were confirmed after the deadline - amongst them, Sunderland FC brought in Ecuador winger Nilson Angulo from RSC Anderlecht in a deal worth £17.5 million (around €20.2 million), whilst Wolves FC signed midfielder Angel Gomes from Marseille FC on loan and replaced Strand Larsen with Adam Armstrong from Southampton FC for £7 million (around €8.1 million).
The overall spending in the English Premier League during the winter transfer window was more than £390 million (around €451.9 million).
