The Premier League's January transfer window closed on February 2, 2026, with Crystal Palace securing a club-record £48m signing of Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves as the standout move. Several clubs bolstered their squads amid a relatively quiet deadline day, while Jean-Philippe Mateta's proposed transfer to AC Milan fell through due to fitness concerns. Other notable deals included Nottingham Forest's acquisition of Luca Netz and Brighton's recall of Matt O’Riley.
Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta will not feature in tomorrow's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest due to his mental state amid transfer speculation. Manager Oliver Glasner emphasized protecting both the player and the team. Mateta, the club's top scorer with 10 goals this season, has expressed a desire to leave before the transfer deadline.
