Joshua King completed a move to Everton in the last minutes of deadline day, while Ben Davies and Ainsley Maitland-Niles joined Liverpool and West Brom respectively
To say transfer deadline day was quiet would be an understatement - and is illustrated by the fact late attention centred on whether Bournemouth s Joshua King would opt for Everton or Fulham, and whether Southampton would seal a loan for Liverpool s Takumi Minamino.
In the end, Norway striker King chose Everton while Saints landed Japan forward Minamino as both deals were confirmed in the early hours of Tuesday morning, with Southampton submitting a deal sheet for Minamino that allows clubs two hours beyond the 23:00 GMT deadline to complete a transfer.
