Premier League transfer round-up: Higuain signs for Chelsea

Newcastle United were one of the busiest club's transfer deadline day.

The club smashed their club-record signing, with the addition of Miguel Almiron from Atlanta United for a fee of £21m. That easily surpasses the £16.5m Newcastle spent to sign Michael Owen from Spanish giants Real Madrid all the way back in 2005.

Monaco defender Antonio Barreca also joined, this time on loan, from Ligue 1 strugglers Monaco.

Managing Director Lee Charnley speaks out about his delight in signing Miguel Almiron: 

"He is a player who Rafa has wanted for a year and I appreciate he has had to wait longer than he would have liked. I would like to thank Rafa for his patience in waiting for a player he has coveted for so long.

"Given Miguel’s performances both in MLS and for his country, it was a question of when Atlanta United were prepared to sell him and, when they were, achieving a deal that made financial sense for us.

"I would like to thank Darren Eales at Atlanta United for his cooperation and the manner in which he has conducted negotiations.

"I would also like to give credit to Steve Nickson and his recruitment staff for their valuable contribution in this process."
