We'll bring you all the latest reaction from deadline day plus all the juiciest gossip throughout the day right here so don't touch that dial.
Without further ado, off we go.
Michy Batshuayi, who spent the first half of the campaign at Valencia, was linked with Everton, West Ham, Tottenham and Real Betis at various stages during deadline day but Palace won the race.
Batshuayi, 25, has struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge since joining Chelsea for £33million from Marseille in 2016 but remains a highly-regarded forward.
Palace chairman Steve Parish told the club's website: "This is a fantastic signing for Crystal Palace.
"Michy is a player we've long admired, and I'm delighted that we've finally managed to get him in a red and blue shirt. He will be a magnificent addition to our squad."
Premier League strugglers Fulham made a surprise swoop for forgotten Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic late, late last night.
The Cottagers also managed to offload controversial forward Aboubakar Kamara and sign Norway international Havard Nordtveit on loan.
The move for Markovic, which was announced after the 11pm Thursday deadline passed, was unexpected.
The Serbian has signed on a short-term permanent deal until the end of the season after being released by the Merseysiders.
“As I have said many times, I’m here to help players, to guide players until the summer.
“I believe and the club believes we have got a top player there,” Solskjaer added.
Premier League clubs spent £180 million during the January transfer window but spending fell for the first time since 2012, report football finance experts Deloitte.
That number was slightly decieiving due to almost a third of the total coming from Chelsea, who splashed out £55 million to sign Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund, who will arrive this summer.
This time last year, Premier League clubs forked out £430 million, with Virgil van Dijk for £75 million from Southampton and Aymeric Laporte for £50million from Manchester City the most prominent signings.
January’s business in 2019 appeared to be more about exits, with Brahim Diaz departing Manchester City to Real Madrid for £15.5 million, Mousa Dembele joining Guangzhou R&F from Tottenham for £11 million and Schalke’s surprise £9.6 million move Manchester City’s Rabbi Matondo.
“As we approach a decisive phase of the season, Premier League clubs’ January transfer spending has been relatively muted in comparison to what we have seen in previous years,” said Tim Bridge, director in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte.
The Croatian winger was unsettled after reports of interest from the Gunners before the deadline expired yesterday for Premier League sides.
And manager Luciano Spalletti believes Arsenal turned the player’s head with an offer that was not genuine.
“We’ve got to get Perisic back on track, but also Nainggolan, as he had injuries, setbacks and various issues. He needs time on the field and patience,” Spalletti told Rai Sport.
"We don't tend to look at it like that," he said this morning. "We just want to be the best version of us. The frustration for us around the Christmas period was that we went below those levels.
"The last two games have shown us what we are capable of being. It is finding that consistency for us.
"A game like this coming up tomorrow [Saturday] will be a true test of that consistency. We need to find those levels that we showed on Wednesday again, again and again.
"If we can do that with the ability we have then we can be where we want to be."
Sala and pilot David Ibbotson remain missing after the Piper Malibu plane carrying them over the English Channel disappeared on January 21, two days after the Argentinian striker completed a club-record £15million move to Cardiff.
"One or two of the strikers we were talking about didn't really want to come in the circumstances," Cardiff manager Warnock said ahead of Saturday's Premier League home game against Bournemouth.
"They didn't want to come in after what's happened. So it's been a very difficult window."
Cardiff did recruit Reading's Leandro Bacuna on Thursday, with the Curacao full-back or midfielder joining for around £3million.
The quiet January transfer window may have reflected the stability of most Premier League clubs but Deloitte's sport business group still expects to see marquee signings in future windows.
Tim Bridge told the Press Association: "Those clubs around the top of the Premier League feel a bit more settled, we haven't had the manager turnover we've had in previous years.
"Then there's Tottenham's stadium situation, which means their transfer policy is a little bit undefined at the moment, so that's a factor.
"We've still got a record net spend across 2018-19, that reflects what went on in the summer. Premier League clubs remain very active in this market (with) the desire to acquire the top talent.
"We haven't seen the numbers yet around the impact of (Cristiano) Ronaldo going to Juventus but individual players now carry far more weight than they did previously because they have an off-the-pitch presence as well. Premier League clubs will want to challenge European peers for that top talent because it will deliver on-pitch success but also off-pitch growth.
"A lot of people probably over-estimate how many shirts are sold with a (Paul) Pogba or a Ronaldo on the back, of course, it does have an impact but it's probably not as material as a significant corporate sponsor wanting to be associated with a club and a player."
The 60-year-old was speaking after a 4-0 loss at Bournemouth - Chelsea's worst Premier League result in over 22 years - and ahead of Saturday's clash with bottom club Huddersfield.
Sarri has no plans to alter his favoured 4-3-3 formation with Jorginho as a central playmaker and pointed to the example of Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, who had a challenging start at Anfield before leading a title challenge to Manchester City and Tottenham this season.
"The situation is very clear. English football is in the hands of these teams because they had a plan and they were patient," Sarri said.
"I want to remember that in the first season Klopp and Liverpool were in the middle of the table.
"I am a dreamer, I want to play my football."
