Premier League clubs have recorded a transfer window profit for the first time – despite spending reaching a six-year January high of \u00a3215m.<\/p>\n

Southampton and Burnley made late deadline-day deals, while Odion Ighalo moved from Watford to China for \u00a320m.<\/p>\n

Saints paid about \u00a314m for Napoli’s Manolo Gabbiadini, and the Clarets brought in Robbie Brady for up to \u00a313m.<\/p>\n

However, top-flight sides brought in \u00a340m more than they paid out, according to finance analysts Deloitte.<\/p>\n

Premier League teams have spent a record \u00a31.38bn on transfers in the 2016-17 season, after a summer outlay of \u00a31.165bn.<\/p>\n

Spending in January 2017 is the second highest – behind the record mark of \u00a3225m six years ago – and dwarfs the \u00a335m spent in the first January transfer window in 2003.<\/p>\n

While the window is now closed for the major European leagues, there could still be departures as big-spending China has an official deadline of 28 February.<\/p>\n

The main deadline-day deals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deadline-day sales were led by Nigeria striker Ighalo, 27, moving to Chinese Super League club Changchun Yatai.<\/p>\n

Burnley were one of the busier sides, recruiting 25-year-old Republic of Ireland international Brady from Norwich for a club-record fee having earlier snapped up another midfielder, Ashley Westwood, from Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

Southampton bolstered their attacking options by bringing in Gabbiadini, 25, while Crystal Palace secured Liverpool centre-back Mamadou Sakho on loan and signed Serbia midfielder Luka Milivojevic from Greek side Olympiakos.<\/p>\n

Swansea City signed Aston Villa forward Jordan Ayew in a swap deal that saw Wales defender Neil Taylor go the other way.<\/p>\n

Several mooted moves did not go through on a relatively low-key day, with Celtic keeper Craig Gordon and striker Moussa Dembele staying with the Scottish champions despite reported interest from Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Sunderland, thwarted in their attempts to sign forward Leonardo Ulloa from Premier League champions Leicester City, had a bid of about \u00a312m rejected by Southampton for forward Jay Rodriguez.<\/p>\n
