Yes and instead we got Dean Hammond.

His signing was announced the Friday before the Everton game. He was just introduced to the crowd at half time in that match (technically he was still a Watford player until the summer window opened anyway).

I’m sure Danny Welbeck was announced the morning of a game. Edit - we played Palace away on the same day we announced him 18th October 2020.
