Chelsea had an eye-catching window, Arsenal settled for Plan B and Leeds were among the clubs who strengthened intelligently
Photograph: T Kieslich/FC Bayern/Getty ImagesChristian Eriksen’s ankle injury four days before the window closed forced the club to go for Bayern Munich’s Marcel Sabitzer as the Danish playmaker’s stand-in and shows up the lack of money made available by owners, the Glazers, and the depth-deficiency of Erik ten Hag’s squad. This followed the loan acquisitions of Burnley’s Wout Weghorst to bolster attack and Crystal Palace’s Jack Butland to replace Martin Dubravka as the No 3 goalkeeper.
The club record deal for the Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana and the late move for the giant Nigeria striker Paul Onuachu ended a fruitful month on the market for Nathan Jones, who will hope they and their fellow arrivals Mislav Orsic and Carlos Alcaraz can score the goals required to keep the club afloat. Signing James Bree from Jones’s former club Luton and recalling Jan Bednarek from his loan at Aston Villa should provide more defensive stability.
