The September 2026 transfer window wrapped up with high-profile business across English and Scottish football, highlighted by Manchester City completing a massive £125m acquisition of Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea, while Jack Grealish departed the Etihad to join Everton on loan. 5m and Femi Azeez for £15m, Ipswich invested a reported £20m in Zian Flemming, and Hull finalised a £12m switch for Brooke Norton-Cuffey.
3m deal to bring in Djylian N'Guessan in January, Everton landing Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Tottenham acquiring Tosin Adarabioyo, and Fulham snapping up David Affengruber alongside Manuel Angel for £3m and Hugo Larsson on loan.
Activity was equally robust lower down the pyramid, in Scotland, across the Women's Super League, and internationally. Rangers brought in Kevin Kelsy and borrowed Badredine Bouanani, Dundee United captured Zidane Iqbal, and Celtic-adjacent Scottish sides completed temporary stays for players such as Alex Williams, MJ Kamson-Kamara, and Josh Campbell.
Meanwhile, the WSL saw Rebeca Bernal switch to Manchester United, Elisa de Almeida sign with Arsenal, Anna Moorhouse head to Manchester City on loan, and Shanade Hopcroft join Crystal Palace, while overseas moves featured Lyle Foster going on loan to Houston and Morgan Whittaker sealing a permanent switch to the Colorado Rapids.
