Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 clubs had until Thursday evening to adjust their squads before the close of the winter transfer window. Unlike previous seasons, Paris SG was rather discreet but settled one last file on Thursday, that of striker Hugo Ekitike.

Lyon, stuck at the bottom of the ranking (16th) and which is now seeking to remain in Ligue 1, has been very active on the transfer market, but its recruitment strategy is not very clear. Marseille leaders especially took advantage of the transfer window to show their muscles.
