Transfer Grades: Who Benefits from Deadline Day's Biggest Moves?
Transfer deadline day brought us some expected moves, some reported massive swings and misses and a potential seismic shift when it comes to Europe's elite tier.
While France was busy dusting away the Netherlands in World Cup qualifying, two of its goal-scorers were in the center of transfer sagas. Thomas Lemar was reportedly the subject of a £92 million bid from Arsenal, only to reject the move and remain at Monaco, while Kylian Mbappe finally sorted his expected, yet still stunning move to free-spending Paris Saint-Germain.
They weren't the only big names at the heart of the deadline day mania, though. Renato Sanches has a surprising new address, and while Alexis Sanchez does not, one of his now-former Arsenal teammates will wear a different shade of red.
So who made out the best? We grade the biggest moves of the day.
