Perhaps the biggest deal so far is Liverpool's signing of PSV Eindhoven forward Cody Gakpo. Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest have brought in the Brazilian midfielder Scarpa, Brighton & Hove Albion have signed Fecundo Buonanotte from Rosario Central, while Atletico Madrid forward Matheus Cunha joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on loan.

Several managers have also expressed their desire to use the January transfer window to strengthen their squads.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that the club will "try to find ways to strengthen the team" as he looks to consolidate the Gunners' lead at the top of the table.
Squad strengthening
Speaking to arsenal.com Arteta said, "We are going to be active, and active means always looking to strengthen the team. This squad still doesn't have the luxury of not maximising every single window and we have to do that because it's really important."
At the other end of the table, Julen Lopetegui said he was keen to strengthen his Wolves' squad before the signing of Cunha. "Of course, we want to improve our squad, we need to improve our squad, we have to be competitive," he told wolves.co.uk.
Frank Lampard also revealed his interest in signing Cunha for Everton before his relegation rivals sealed a deal.
Meanwhile, Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed he can strengthen his team to stave off the risk of relegation, with his team just four points off the bottom three.
“We may not have the funds that others will have, but we will certainly be able to improve the depth in our squad,” Rodgers said.
