What is Transfer Deadline Day? 

It is the final opportunity for clubs to sign players and strengthen their squads until the next transfer window (more on that below). 

When is Transfer Deadline Day? 

The summer 2024 transfer window will close on Friday 30 August, at 23:00 BST. It has been open since 14 June. 

Can signings be made after the deadline?

Deals can still be announced after the deadline. That is because clubs have a two-hour period after 23:00 BST to complete a signing, if they have submitted a deal sheet ahead of the deadline.

When do other leagues' windows close?

To ensure harmonisation with the major leagues in Europe, the closing date of 30 August was set following discussions with the EFL, DFL, Serie A, LaLiga, and LFP, who will all close their summer transfer windows on the same date. 

But players from Premier League clubs may still complete a transfer away after 30 August, as the deadlines for other leagues may differ. 

Who may move on Deadline Day?

Deadline Day is traditionally a busy day of transfers! There are lots of reported signings rumoured to be happening. You can see some of them, along with one position each Premier League club may target, below.
