1) Charlie Austin – Queens Park Rangers to Southampton – ÂŁ4million
With the winner at Old Trafford, he’s probably already repaid the ÂŁ4million that Southampton spent on him.
Yes Southampton got Charlie Austin for just ÂŁ4m. Unbelievable signing and easily the transfer of the window.
This isn’t a normal Championship striker they’ve signed from Queens Park Rangers. This is a guy who netted 18 goals in the Premier League last season in a very poor and eventually-relegated side.
He will flourish at Saints with better players around him and if he gets game-time, he could be a late shock in Roy Hodgson’s European Championship squad.
Great value for money for a great player.
Southampton secure signing of the January transfer window.
So there are our Five Transfers of January.
Who did we miss out?
Comment your thoughts!
