Robbie Keane gave yesterday's transfer deadline day a late twist by completing a loan move from Tottenham to Celtic.
The 29-year-old Ireland captain, who had fallen behind Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe in the White Hart Lane pecking order, has moved in search of first-team football after Spurs signed Eidur Gudjohnsen, a similar style of player, on loan from Monaco.
The biggest deal of the day was Man City's signing of Adam Johnson from Middlesbroughu00a0 although the reported transfer fee of six million pounds underlined how the recession and high debt have affected spending in English football clubs.
Business advisory firm Deloitte put total spending in this transfer window at 30 million pounds, the lowest since the mid-season window system was introduced in 2003 and a huge fall when compared to the 170 million pounds spent last year.
