Newcastle looked to be the must busiest team in the January transfer market as they aim to move out of the relegation zone in the Premier League.

The English side have made an epic transfer to strengthen their defensive line as well as the team’s attacking force.

The Magpies have spent £13m to sign boyhood Newcastle supporter Burn, 29, from Brighton and Hove Albion on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

Targett also joined the club on loan from Aston Villa until the end of the season.

Newcastle also seemed to be closing in on France Under-20 striker Hugo Ekitike, 19, but the player had second thoughts on deadline day.

Reims forward Ekitike was Newcastle’s preferred target after it became clear Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah was not for sale.

He would have further added to their attacking options after the signing of Chris Wood from Burnley for £25m.

Transfer deadline day saw Everton announcing Frank Lampard as their new manager, as well as the signings of Dele and Donny van de Beek.

Tottenham Hotspur were also busy, signing both Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus after the Italian side introduced Dusan Vlahovic and Dennis Zakaria to their squad, as Tottenham offloaded Tanguy Ndombele on loan to Lyon,as well as Giovani Lo Celso and Bryan Gil.

Although, Liverpool lost out on Fabio Carvalho, the deadline also saw Arsenal parting ways with former club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who depart for Spanish giants, Barcelona.
