All Manchester City’s January transfer window ins and outs

It’s been an eventful January transfer window for Manchester City to say the least.

Alexis Sanchez was expected to arrive but instead headed to United while there was huge speculation over a deadline day move for Riyad Mahrez.

Neither player arrived but City won’t be too disappointed with that and instead have brought in Aymeric Laporte for a club record fee.

The defender enjoyed a fine debut against West Bromwich Albion and based on that evidence, it looks money well spent.

Here’s a complete look at Manchester City’s January business:

It’s probably not been the transfer window we expected, but the arrival of Laporte to strengthen the defence is a great move as we head towards the business end of the season.
