Robbie Keane's return to Tottenham Hotspur was the only highlight in what was a disappointing end to the January transfer window that was hampered by the adverse weather conditions in the United Kingdom. The Premier League took action and allowed transfers to be completed after the 9pm deadline (UAE time), as long as they received emailed confirmation from both parties that deals had been agreed in principle. Andrei Arshavin's protracted move from Zenit St Petersberg to Arsenal has taken so many twists and turns that it will probably still not be resolved by the end of the summer transfer window. Elsewhere Chelsea left it late to bring in the Portugal winger Ricardo Quaresma on loan from Inter Milan and Calum Davenport agreed a loan deal to join Sunderland from West Ham. Both deals are until the end of the season. You can revisit all the key points of the day from our live text updates below and see who was brought in and who went out from the Premier League.

00.45am Nobody is any wiser as to whether Andrei Arshavin will be an Arsenal player any time soon. How can a deal take an entire month to complete? 00.06am Calum Davenport, who has held talks with several clubs regarding a loan move, agrees to join Sunderland from West Ham on loan for the rest of the season. Midnight Finally some action as Chelsea, traditionally big spenders in the transfer markets, add to their ranks with the addition of Ricardo Quaresma from Inter Milan on loan for the remainder of the campaign. 10.00pm So we are still waiting on the Quaresma rumour. Nothing concrete is coming out of either Chelsea, who have said they will not be signing anyone, or Inter Milan. 9.45pm Another nail in the coffin for the Arshavin transfer.

Arsenal walk away empty-handed it seems. 9.30pm Some joy for the transfer window, Robbie Keane has returned to Spurs after a torrid spell at Liverpool. 9.27pm Associated Press claim that Andrei Arshavin will not be joining Arsenal after all.

It is officially closed, all barring deals that were made in principle. Andrei Arshavin and Robbie Keane are due to join Arsenal and Spurs. Just waiting for it to be official. 8.56pm Wigan's French midfielder Olivier Kapo has admitted he wants to leave the JJB Stadium. "I want a loan this winter to play, even in France. I am ready to face any challenges. If I stay at Wigan, I will have a blank year," he said. Maybe he should have said something sooner? There is only four minutes left. 8.50pm Jamie Clark joins Rotherham on loan from Blackburn Rovers. 8.50pm Chelsea announce that there will be no-one coming or going at Stamford Bridge. Now surely they could have saved any speculation by saying this earlier in the day and not with ten minutes to go. Or, they have failed in signing someone.... 8.45pm It looks like Middlesbrough will be relying on what they have already got as they reveal that they will not be signing anyone. Gareth Southgate has only recruited Marlon King to the Riverside in this transfer window. 8.40pm Chelsea's Scott Sinclair will remain at Birmingham until the end of the season. 8.40pm Manchester City have rejected an £8 million offer from Newcastle for the midfielder Michael Johnson. 8.35pm Do not fret Cottagers, Fulham sign Olivier Dacourt on loan from Inter Milan. 8.30pm Fulham are still looking to sign Olivier Dacourt on loan from Inter Milan.

Here is hoping. 8pm Liverpool have made a statement saying that they have reached a deal with Tottenham Hotspur over the sale of Robbie Keane to the London club. 7.55pm Like magic, Ryan Taylor goes the other way and joins Newcastle. The defender will add a bit of mettle to Magpies defence. 7.50pm Charles N'Zogbia joins Wigan Athletic from Newcastle United. We are still waiting on Ryan Taylor going the other way, but that move does not infringe N'Zogbia's move to the JJB. 7.35pm Apparently Giovani dos Santos has failed a medical at Portsmouth.

He is part of a swap deal with Ryan Taylor going the other way to Newcastle. 7.30pm Fulham let Adrian Leijer join Norwich City on loan until the end of the season 7.25pm Arsenal youth player Henri Lansbury joins Scunthorpe on a month's loan. 7.25pm Fulham also recall the defender Elliot Omozusi from a loan spell with Coca-Cola Championship side Norwich. 7.15pm Finally someone is exiting Fratton Park.

The club signing the player must also satisfy the board that the prevailing weather conditions have prevented the signing from being completed by the deadline. 6.15pm Have the floodgates opened? Henri Camara joins the relegation threatened Stoke City from Wigan Athletic on loan. 6pm It is still all quiet on the transfer front and the Basinas signing is the only one to go through the books so far. With three hours to go (officially), we could be in for a late flurry. That said, Stoke are expected to complete the signing of Henri Camara from Wigan. 5.25pm Liverpool confirm that they have allowed Robbie Keane to speak to Tottenham. 5.15pm Giovanni Dos Santos could be heading out of White Hart Lane to Fratton Park as Spurs are reported to have accepted a bid from Portsmouth for the tricky Mexican. 4.45pm Portsmouth sign Angelos Basinas on an 18 month contract from AEK Athens. 4.35pm Liverpool loan out Peter Gulacsi to Hereford until the end of the season. 4.30pm Barnsley add life to the transfer window.

Christian Panucci, the Roma defender, is not moving anywhere according to his agent. Hull and Manchester City were interested in his services. The snowy conditions continue to hamper player movement. It could be a busy afternoon after lengthy delays.

Rumours are rife about Robbie Keane leaving Liverpool for a return to Tottenham. So far nothing is concrete. The deadline day will be hampered by the downfall of snow in the country, which could hamper player's moving around the country to make and break deals. snelmes@thenational.ae
