Over the years, there have been many teams that have pulled off major signings on the very last day of the transfer window and this year, the story looks to be no different. After a massive summer transfer window that saw the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo change clubs, the winter transfer window has been a pretty lukewarm one so far, with not many big names involved in moving.
