The transfer window closed late Friday amid a whirlwind of activity, marking a busy day for Arsenal and several top clubs across Europe. Here’s a detailed look at the key moves:

Arsenal's Transfer Activity: Arsenal was particularly active, with several significant transfers. Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale completed a permanent switch to Southampton for an initial fee of £18 million. His departure prompted Arsenal to secure Neto on loan from Bournemouth as a backup to their first-choice goalkeeper, David Raya. In a further reshuffle, Eddie Nketiah, a product of Arsenal's academy, transferred to Crystal Palace for a fee that could rise to £30 million. Reiss Nelson also joined Fulham on loan. The Gunners made these moves as part of a strategic overhaul, aiming to strengthen their squad depth.

Manchester United Moves: Manchester United saw notable departures and arrivals. Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay ended his 22-year association with the club, moving to Serie A side Napoli for €30.5 million. This transfer marks a significant shift for McTominay, who had been with United since he was five years old. Napoli also added his Scotland teammate, Billy Gilmour, from Brighton & Hove Albion. McTominay’s exit allowed United to finalize a deal for their primary target, Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain, securing the defensive midfielder on a five-year contract worth €50 million.

Chelsea's Transfer News: Chelsea's busy transfer deadline day saw Raheem Sterling join Arsenal on a season-long loan. Sterling had fallen out of favor with new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca and was quickly picked up by Arsenal, where he will reunite with Mikel Arteta, who previously worked with him at Manchester City. Chelsea’s efforts to bring Napoli striker Victor Osimhen to Stamford Bridge fell through, but they successfully offloaded Armando Broja to Everton on a season-long loan with an option to make the transfer permanent in 2025.

Brentford and Al Ahli: Brentford's striker Ivan Toney made headlines with his transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli. Toney, who was pivotal in Brentford’s Premier League campaign, agreed to a £40 million move and will travel to Saudi Arabia over the weekend for his presentation. The transfer window in the Saudi Pro League remains open until Monday, making Toney’s move a significant late addition to Al Ahli's squad. His departure follows an eight-month ban he served last season for breaches of betting rules.

Other Notable Transfers: In other moves, Arsenal saw further changes with Reiss Nelson joining Fulham on loan. Crystal Palace also made key additions, including centre-back Maxence Lacroix and goalkeeper Matt Turner. Wolverhampton Wanderers had a busy day as well, bringing in goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, midfielder Andre, and winger Carlos Forbs. AC Milan strengthened their attack by securing Roma striker Tammy Abraham on a season-long loan.

The flurry of activity on transfer deadline day highlights the dynamic nature of football’s transfer market, with clubs across Europe making strategic moves to bolster their squads for the season ahead.
