Premier League January transfer grades: Which club enjoyed a masterstroke of a window? Whose lack of signings will frustrate their fans? And whose business signals relegation is looming?

The January transfer window concluded on Monday evening with the squads of all 20 clubs now finalised until the end of the season, unless they sign a free agent.

Some teams made some big business, while some did chose to save their money until the summer. 

Written in the current order of the Premier League standings, Daily Mail Sport has looked at the move of every team and given them a grade. 

1st) Arsenal: D

Arsenal didn’t need anybody but clearly had a worse window than Manchester City. Could that bite them come May? Finding a loan for Ethan Nwaneri was wise – he has hit the ground running at Marseille.

2nd) Manchester City: A

Signing Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi for a combined £82.5million – ahead of rivals – was a masterstroke. They bagged £27m from Fulham for Oscar Bobb and sorted a loan to Sheffield United for Kalvin Phillips.

3rd) Aston Villa: B+

Strengthened for now and the future. The signings of Tammy Abraham and Alysson and a loan for Douglas Luiz add depth to Unai Emery‘s injury-hit side for the run-in.

4th) Manchester United: D-

Would ideally have added midfield depth to aid their Champions League push, but they are targeting major surgery in the summer so wanted to preserve funds.

5th) Chelsea: E

No additions. Missing out on Jeremy Jacquet to Liverpool is a major blow if he turns out to be good. Letting Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi go was, at least, the honourable thing to do.

6th) Liverpool: C-

Losing the race for Marc Guehi from pole position was poor. They’ve lined up lots of prospects to arrive in the summer – most notably Jacquet for £60m from Rennes – but nobody knows how good they’ll be.

Jeremy Jacquet will join Liverpool in the summer, but the Reds missing out on Guehi is a blow

7th) Brentford: D+

Signed the highly rated 18-year-old forward Kaye Furo from Club Brugge and that’s it. Offloaded deadwood and peripheral figures.

8th) Sunderland: C

After a chaotic summer window, this was calmer waters. Deadline day saw the arrival of winger Nilson Angulo from Anderlecht. But with Sunderland flying this season: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

9th) Fulham: B

Signed the highly-rated Oscar Bobb who should flourish in west London and kept the in-form Harry Wilson. Failed to land striker Ricardo Pepi though, something they’ll revisit in the summer.

Fulham fans should be excited by the arrival of Oscar Bobb from Manchester City last month

10th) Everton: C+

Added Tyrique George to bolster their attacking options on deadline day, but it was a quiet window as expected for the Toffees.

11th) Newcastle: D

Failed to add anyone to their squad, much to their fans frustrations. The lack of depth could take its toll in the second half of the season as they juggle Champions League aspirations and battling top-four aspirations.

12th) Bournemouth: C+

Lost top goalscorer Semenyo to Manchester City. Used the money to sign Rayan who provided an assist on debut. Alex Toth is another promising player to have arrived in the January window.

13th) Brighton: B

Re-signed fan favourite Pascal Gross to add experience to many young players. Typically do their business in the summer.

14th) Tottenham: D-

Signed Conor Gallagher to bolster their midfield but their squad is thinner in attack. Missed out on Semenyo and sold Brennan Johnson while dealing with plenty of forward-line injuries. Interest in Andy Robertson may be revisited in the summer.

15th) Crystal Palace: B-

That might seem a generous grade for a club who announced the loss of their captain and coach during one disastrous week, with Jean-Philippe Mateta also wanting out.

But in Jorgen Strand Larsen and Brennan Johnson for £78m combined, along with Evann Guessand, the attacking resources have very definitely been bolstered.

16th) Leeds: D

Very little of note to report for Daniel Farke’s men. Facundo Buonanotte joined on loan and Jack Harrison headed out for a few months at Fiorentina. It doesn’t look like they’ll regret the lack of activity and should have enough to stay up.

17th) Nottingham Forest: C

Sean Dyche will hope 6ft 7in behemoth Lorenzo Lucca can provide the goals to steer Forest clear of the relegation battle on loan from Napoli.

Stefan Ortega and Luca Netz look like low-risk late pick-ups, while Oleksandr Zinchenko and Douglas Luiz’s loans were terminated.

18th) West Ham: B-

It’s hard to judge Taty Castellanos and Pablo Felipe, who the club splashed out a combined £47m on. Neither have scored yet but have contributed to improved form.

A chunky sum of £36m for Lucas Paqueta is nice to fill the coffers but will they miss the mercurial Brazilian when it matters?

19th) Burnley: D

Very quiet month at Turf Moor and it looks as though Scott Parker’s side are drifting towards an inevitable relegation.

James Ward-Prowse has joined and his set-pieces could be a huge difference-maker, if not this season, then in the Championship.

20th) Wolves: C-

The basement boys recouped £47m for Strand Larsen which is not to be sniffed at but they’re very much preparing for the Championship already, with Adam Armstrong joining. It will be interesting to see if Angel Gomes gets game time on loan from Marseille.
