The English transfer window has closed, ahead of the new Premier League season kicking off on Friday evening, and there were mixed fortunes for the top-flight clubs on what turned out to be a busy deadline day.
Chelsea unveiled their new £71.6m goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, while his predecessor Thibaut Courtois was given the same red-carpet treatment at Real Madrid, and the club also announced the arirval of Mateo Kovacic from Real on a season-long loan.
Jose Mourinho's gloomy transfer window - in which the £52m Brazilian midfielder Fred was the only high-profiled capture - ended without a new centre-back, after Manchester United's enquiry for Atletico Madrid's Diego Godin was swiftly rebuffed. United begin their domestic season against Leicester tomorrow.
The Premier League's transfer deadline day has closed Manchester United and Tottenham left with regrets.
Jose Mourinho was desperate to add at least one new face today but failed to do so with approaches for Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld, Leicester's Harry Maguire and Atletico Madrid's Diego Godin all coming to nothing. As Thibaut Courtois finally left for Real Madrid, Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic arrived on a season-long loan.
Everton were deadline day's biggest movers with Shakhtar Donetsk's Bernard arriving on a free transfer before sealing a double deal for Barcelona's Yerry Mina and Andre Gomes. Tottenham on the other hand became the first team since the introduction of the summer window not to sign a single player.
