The transfer activity that accumulated through February and beyond has now been catalogued by BBC Sport, whose running record of confirmed moves spans the Premier League, EFL, Scottish Premiership, and Women's Super League.
The BBC's summary covers both incomings and departures, tracking the significant business done by clubs across the divisions from the mid-season window through to deadline day. The piece does not focus on a single headline move but instead serves as a reference point for the full breadth of activity across the professional game in Britain.
The mid-season window has grown in prominence in recent years, with clubs using February as an opportunity to address gaps exposed during the first half of the campaign. For some, that means loan arrivals to shore up injury-stricken squads; for others, permanent deals that would have been unthinkable in the summer. The WSL, too, has seen its transfer market mature, with clubs increasingly active in January and February as the women's game continues to grow in profile and financial weight.
What the BBC's compiled record reflects, more broadly, is how transfer business has become a year-round conversation rather than a seasonal event. Deadline day still carries its own momentum — clubs scrambling to finalise paperwork, deals collapsing and reviving within hours — but the weeks surrounding it are now almost as consequential for squad-building as the summer window itself.
