<p>Fernando Torres was confirmed as a Chelsea player on Monday night after a £50million deadline-day swoop on Liverpool which shattered the record for a transfer between two British clubs &#8211; as England striker Andy Carroll moved from Newcastle United to Anfield to fill his boots.</p>
<p>Torres jetted to Stamford Bridge to complete his deal and Roman Abramovich further signalled his intention to turn Chelsea back into a dominant force by completing the signing of Benfica defender David Luiz in a deal reportedly worth around £25million.</p>
<p>At the same time, Carroll travelled to Liverpool&#8217;s training ground to put the finishing touches to his £35million move to join Luis Suarez, whose own move from Ajax was also officially completed before the 11pm deadline.</p>
<p>Torres had sparked the transfer rush on Friday when he handed in a written transfer request after Chelsea had an initial offer of £35million turned down by the Reds.</p>
<p>Liverpool changed their minds after Chelsea increased their offer &#8211; but only after making sure they had landed Newcastle striker Carroll, who handed in a transfer request of his own this week.</p>
<p>The previous highest fee between two English clubs was set in July 2002 when Rio Ferdinand moved from Leeds United to Manchester United for £31.1 million</p>
