Who are the five best Premier League signings of the January transfer window?

The transfer window has shut for another winter, as all the madness of deadline day becomes a distant memory and clubs' focus on the job in hand for the rest of the campaign.
It was a window that saw Crystal Palace lose two of the big names, while Manchester City used it to plug some major holes in their talented squad, and there were plenty more eyebrow-raising moves up and down the Premier League.
Here then, DAZN News picks the five best buys in the Premier League this January.
Antoine Semenyo
Bournemouth to Manchester City
The most expensive signing of the window isn't always necessarily the best, but in the case of Semenyo, it was a smart bit of business from Manchester City to recruit the forward.
In modern money, the £60 million plus clause is a pretty modest fee to sign a player who's been one of the star performers of the season, certainly outside of the top six and even better for City, he's already hit the ground running.
The Ghana international scored on his debut against Exeter and has since contributed four goals in five outings, showing he hasn't been overawed by a move to The Etihad.
With City's widemen in erratic form this season, Semeyo could be one of the key men in Pep Guardiola's fight to reclaim the title and Champions League.

Conor Gallagher
Atletico Madrid to Tottenham
Tottenham's season hasn't quite gone to plan under Thomas Frank, with the Danish boss under increasing pressure following a mediocre campaign, devoid of any real energy in North London.
That's why the arrival of Conor Gallagher could be exactly what the club needs. The England man's swashbuckling style in the centre of the park is the kind of style to get the home fans off their feet and give the team a much-needed zest from box-to-box.
His role in Tottenham's equaliser against Manchester City on Sunday was the perfect example of what's been missing from this side. His hustling and bustling to win the ball back and then pinpoint cross for Dominic Solanke tied the game up, and it's displays like that that will breathe new energy into this Spurs side.
With Gallagher desperate to make the World Cup squad, too, it feels like a perfect move for all parties.

James Ward-Prowse
West Ham to Burnley
Not a headline grabber by any means - apart from the Pulp Fiction-inspired announcement post from Burnley - but Ward-Prowse swapping claret kits could prove to be a shrewd move for Burnley.
It gives Scott Parker some much-needed Premier League nous in the centre of his midfield, with a player not completely unlike Parker in his playing days.
His engine, when fully fit, will be a real bonus in their fight for survival, as will his set-piece expertise. In a scrap where taking chances makes all the difference, Ward-Prowse's first-class delivery as well as his incredible record of scoring direct free-kicks, gives Burnley a new weapon in their armoury.
Marc Guehi
Crystal Palace to Manchester City
Oh, how Liverpool's season may have been different if we were writing about this signing last summer, but instead it's Manchester City who finally won the battle to sign England defender Guehi.
City may have been forced into the market due to some major injuries in their backline, but they've come out of it with one of the best centre-backs in the league and at a knockdown price due to his contract situation at Palace.
Pep Guardiola can now field England's first-choice centre-back pairing in Guehi and John Stones, with Guehi completely ready to show he can regularly play in a title-chasing team after admirably leading the Eagles to their historic FA Cup win last season.
His only task is to show he deserves his place in the team, because once City have everyone fit, they have several very talented options to choose from, but Guehi is more than up to proving he should be first pick.

Oscar Bobb
Manchester City to Fulham
Craven Cottage has become the place for a Premier League regen as players look to give their career a boost following whatever setbacks they've found at their previous clubs.
Recently, we've seen Alex Iwobi, Raul Jimenez and Emile Smith-Rowe all give their careers a bit of a kick by moving to West London and being allowed to flourish by the Thames.
Now it could be the turn of Bobb. A player, who at City, we've seen some flashes of real quality, but the Norwegian has struggled to get a consistent run in Pep Guardiola's side.
However, with Marco Silva's side, he'll get more minutes under his belt and time to show what a class act he is, while Fulham benefit from another attacking option at a reasonable price, too.
