Torres moves to ChelseaLiverpool and Chelsea produced an extraordinary finale to the January window today by both agreeing to break the British transfer record to sign Andy Carroll and Fernando Torres respectively in a combined spending spree that could reach almost £150m.
Torres was set to become the most expensive signing made by a British club when Chelsea finally met Liverpool's £50m asking price but it was the Anfield club's decision to pay £35m to lure Carroll from Newcastle United that caused the greater surprise on deadline day. Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool's owner, is committed to a further £22.8m to secure the signature of Luis Suárez from Ajax while Roman Abramovich's outlay eventually reached £76.5m when Chelsea sealed a deal worth £26.5m for David Luiz from Benfica.
