Tuchel, Ten Hag & Forest - the big deadline day talking points

The transfer window has closed with Premier League clubs spending almost £2bn to put their squads in shape for the next few months.

So what are the big issues after that one final transfer spree on Thursday?

Chelsea's new ownership under American Todd Boehly wanted to make a statement that ambition and spending would not be reeled back in the post-Roman Abramovich era.

Boehly ended up making several statements by spending more in one transfer window than any other British club in history, £255.3m according to financial services firm Deloitte.
