Premier League clubs spent £180million during the January transfer window - the first time the figure has fallen since 2012, according to football finance experts at Deloitte.

Last year's winter transfer window saw top flight clubs shell out £430million, with big money moves including Virgil van Dijk at £75million and Aymeric Laporte for £50million.
