The winter transfer window has closed with a number of clubs hoping to have made the signings that will make the difference for them between now and May.

Eddie Howe, boss of Championship leaders AFC Bournemouth, said keeping his squad intact through the mid-season transfer window had been “as good as a new signing for us”.

Howe admitted his relief after confirming no enquiries had been made for any of the club’s prized assets.

A deadline day which had promised much – with Cherries heavily linked with a move for Birmingham City winger Demarai Gray – ended with no incomings or outgoings.
