Data experts predict where Brighton, Tottenham, Chelsea and Newcastle finish as transfer window closes

It was a window that also witnessed some high profile departures too as Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister both left. Caicedo went for an eye-watering £115m to Chelsea, while Mac Allister signed for Liverpool for an initial fee of £35m. Goalkeeper Rob Sanchez also exited as he joined Caicedo at Chelsea for around £25m.

Despite the outgoings, Brighton fans will – on the whole – be pretty happy with their dealings this summer. Goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen joined from Anderlect for around £16m and Igor Julio bolstered the left side of the defence with his £15m arrival from Fiorentina. Experience was added to the midfield as James Milner and Mo Dahoud arrived on free transfers from Liverpool and Dortmund respectively, while Carlos Beleba looks a very promising signing as the 19-year-old midfielder jetted in from Lille for around £25m. The Cameroon man will help soften the blow of Caicedo's absence.

At the sharp end Joao Pedro joined for a club record £30m from Watford and just to put the cherry on top, Barcelona's Fati arrived on a season long loan. "He's a special talent," De Zerbi said on Friday after the deal was confirmed.
