Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso has joined Villarreal on loan until the end of the season after failing to stamp his mark in north London.
The Argentine joined Spurs for £27.2m in 2020 and has scored eight goals in his 84 appearances.
The 25-year-old is the third player to leave Spurs so far on transfer deadline day and joins Unai Emery's side, who are seventh in LaLiga.
Lo Celso has struggled to make a sustained impact since arriving in north London and has made just nine appearances this campaign.
He has not been used regularly by boss Antonio Conte, who bolstered his midfield by signing Rodrigo Bentancur from his former club Juventus, as well as the loan arrival of team-mate Dejan Kulusevski.
Tanguy Ndombele has also been offloaded to his former club Lyon on loan until the end of the season whilst Bryan Gil has joined Valencia on loan as Spurs continue to shake up their squad.
Dele Alli is reportedly set to join Premier League rivals Everton as Antonio Conte finally gets the changes that he has been crying out for since the start of the January transfer window.
