Aston Villa and Swansea completed a swap deal with Neil Taylor joining the Birmingham club and Jordan Ayew heading to Wales. Villa were also reportedly banking around £5million.
Bournemouth signed 18-year-old England youth international goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale from Sheffield United. He joined on a four-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
Lewis Grabban joined Reading on loan from the rest of the season from Bournemouth. The striker has only scored once since November 2015 having re-joined the Cherries last January.

Norwich sealed a loan deal for Ajax left-back Mitchell Dijks. The Canaries have an option to buy the defender at the end of the season.
Watford have sold Odion Ighalo to Chinese Super League club Changchun Yatai.
The 27-year-old striker leaves after two-and-a-half years at Vicarage Road for an undisclosed fee.
Ighalo scored 39 goals in 100 appearances for the Hornets including 20 as Watford secured promotion to the Premier League in 2014/15, and 17 during the club's first campaign back in the top-flight last season.
DONE DEAL!

Burnley have signed midfielder Ashley Westwood from Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee.
The 26-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half-year contract with the option of a further year.
His move brings to an end almost five years at Villa Park, where he made 162 appearances for the club - including 124 in the Premier League - and he could make his debut for Burnley when they travel to Watford at the weekend.
Good luck to @ARWesty15 for the future. Nice man with good manner. https://t.co/mWFYsYbtN5

Andrea Ranocchia could make his debut for Hull in their Premier League clash at Manchester United on Wednesday night.
With Curtis Davies ruled out for around eight weeks with a hamstring injury and fellow centre-halves Michael Dawson and Harry Maguire struggling with knocks, Ranocchia could slot in at the back after completing his loan switch to the Tigers from Inter Milan on transfer deadline day.
The Italian may not be the only new face in the Hull ranks, with Silva hoping to add to his squad before the transfer window shuts although Ahmed Elmohamady (Egypt) and Dieumerci Mbokani (DR Congo) are still on African Nations Cup duty.
Brighton have completed the permanent signing of Glenn Murray from Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee.
The striker has scored 15 goals in 28 appearances for the Seagulls this season, having rejoined the club on loan in the summer.
Murray, 33, has agreed a contract with the Championship pace-setters until June 2019.

Southampton have signed goalkeeper Mouez Hassen on loan from Nice until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old will be reunited with Claude Puel, his former manager, and further strengthens the club's goalkeeping options where Fraser Forster, Alex McCarthy and Stuart Taylor are the senior options.
#SaintsFC is pleased to announce the loan signing of goalkeeper @hassen_mouez from @ogcnice! #SaintMouez https://t.co/IR961KJlbP
— Southampton FC (@SouthamptonFC) January 31, 2017
Hassen has represented France from Under-16 to Under-21 level, and said: "I am really happy. It's a pleasure for me to come to England for the first time and I am really happy to get to know the Premier League.
"I am really looking forward to joining the team."
Southampton's director of football Les Reed, long influential in their transfer policy, said: "Mouez has built an excellent reputation during his time with Nice and also in his country's youth teams, and will provide us with further depth in the months ahead."
Jose Mourinho has no intention of letting Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney leave this season, while Ashley Young will also be staying at Old Trafford.
"(Young) is staying," Mourinho said. "Definitely stays, he is selected for tomorrow. It's finished, he stays with me until the end of the season."
Asked if Rooney would see out the season as well, Mourinho said: "Yeah. We don't have players in, we don't have players out."

The 31-year-old returns to the club he left in 2015 to join Shenhua and will attempt to rebuild his career after a period in which it was feared injury may force him to retire.
Ba - who first joined Besiktas from Chelsea in 2014, and scored 18 goals before his move to China - broke his leg last summer but has vowed to re-establish himself.
"I'll do my best to help the team and try to be more effective than the last time I was here," he said, according to Besiktas' official Twitter feed.
Liverpool are holding out for £20million for out of favour defender Mamadou Sakho, according to reports.
Crystal Palace, Stoke, Southampton and West Brom have all been linked with the French international, but if he leaves Anfield today, it's likely to be on loan.

Aberdeen have rejected a third bid from Cardiff for Irish winger Jonny Hayes. The reported £600,000 offer falls well below their valuation.
Their boss Derek McInnes insists Hayes will be going nowhere: "There was a bid in for Jonny over the weekend but it was still way below our valuation. As far as I'm concerned, it's now dead.
"From our perspective, we're now concentrating on the Celtic game and Jonny is in the squad."

Notts County have bolstered their squad on transfer deadline day by registering their own manager Kevin Nolan as a player.
The former Bolton, Newcastle and West Ham midfielder, appointed County manager earlier this month, has signed a deal now that the club's transfer embargo has been lifted.
The 34-year-old will bring a wealth of experience to County's midfield as they attempt to avoid relegation from Sky Bet League Two.
Chairman and owner Alan Hardy told the club's official website: "It was always Kevin's intention to register as a player and I'm delighted to confirm we have now completed the formalities.
"He will of course need to continue building his fitness but, when he's ready, I'm confident we will have one of, if not the, best midfielders in the league."
Chelsea have reportedly been trying to sign Jonathan Biabiany from Inter Milan.
That's not happening, however, after the winger supposedly rejected a move to the Premier League leaders.

Former Crystal Palace striker Emmanuel Adebayor has joined Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir on an 18-month deal.
The 32-year-old has been without a club since leaving Palace in the summer but did feature for Togo in the African Nations Cup this month.
Adebayor, who also took in spells with Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham during a ten-year stint in England, was unable to prevent Togo from making a group-stage exit in Gabon.

Istanbul Basaksehir - who are currently second in the Turkish Super Lig, two points behind Besiktas - conducted a medical with the forward on Tuesday morning before announcing his arrival on Twitter.
Adebayor's last club game came in Crystal Palace's 4-1 Premier League defeat against Southampton on May 15.
Today could be make or break for teams across the continent as the winter transfer window closes at 11pm.
Relegation rivals are bidding to steal a march on each other, while title contenders seek reinforcements for the run-in. And to complicate it all for panicked managers, there’s a round of seven Premier League games this evening, with Chelsea’s trip to Liverpool topping the bill.
