Top Premier League Signings from January 2025

The Premier League clubs made some major moves in the January 2025 transfer window, spending around £370 million in total. This is a huge jump from last year's £100 million, although still far from the record £815 million spent in 2023.

Manchester City were the biggest spenders, spending nearly £180 million. Let's take a closer look at some of the biggest signings that are sure to make a big impact for their new teams.

Omar Marmoush joined Manchester City from Eintracht Frankfurt for a reported £59 million, with an additional £4 million in add-ons. The Egyptian forward had a standout season in the Bundesliga, scoring 19 goals and providing 11 assists in just 25 matches.

Marmoush made an immediate impact, playing in City's match against Chelsea on his Premier League debut, where he almost scored but was ruled offside. With Julian Alvarez leaving for Atletico Madrid, City needed a strong replacement, and Marmoush was the perfect choice for manager Pep Guardiola.

Nico Gonzalez - Porto to Man City (£50m)

Manchester City also strengthened their midfield with the signing of Nico Gonzalez from Porto for £50 million. The 23-year-old Spanish player made a name for himself at Barcelona before moving to Porto.

In his 68 appearances for Porto, he scored nine goals and provided nine assists. He also helped Porto win the Portuguese Cup last season. Gonzalez's arrival gives City more depth in midfield, and his technical ability will add creativity to their play.

Abdukodir Khusanov - Lens to Man City (£33.5m)

Abdukodir Khusanov was another new face at Manchester City. The Uzbekistani international moved from French club Lens for £33.5 million. Khusanov's debut didn't go smoothly, though, as he made some early mistakes in a match against Chelsea.

He conceded a goal within the first few minutes and received a yellow card. Despite the tough start, City are confident that Khusanov can develop into a key player as he settles into his new environment.

Vitor Reis - Palmeiras to Man City (£29.6m)

Vitor Reis, a talented 19-year-old centre-back, also joined City from Palmeiras for £29.6 million. There was a lot of interest in Reis, with other Premier League clubs like Brighton, Wolves, and Arsenal all hoping to sign him.

City managed to secure the deal, and Reis will add depth to their defensive options. Despite Palmeiras' desire to keep him for the Club World Cup, they agreed to let him move to City, and he's expected to develop into a future star.

Patrick Dorgu - Lecce to Man United (£29m)

Manchester United made a defensive addition by signing 20-year-old Patrick Dorgu from Italian club Lecce for £29 million. The Danish left-back has been impressive for Lecce, making 57 appearances since his debut. United needed extra cover in defense after injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia. Dorgu's arrival gives United more options at left-back, and his solid defensive abilities will be crucial in the tight race for top positions in the league.
