Overview
- This winter’s window closes on Monday, February 2 with a 7 p.m. Premier League cut-off rather than the usual 11 p.m.
- Officials shifted the final day because January 31 falls on a Saturday this year, ensuring a weekday finish.
- France, Germany, Italy and Spain also shut on February 2, with Portugal on February 3, Greece, Turkey and Austria on February 6, and MLS on March 27.
- Clubs may still sign free agents outside the window if they have space in their registered 25-man squads.
- January has already delivered major deals including Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City, Conor Gallagher to Tottenham and Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace, with talkSPORT scheduling a Deadline Day Special from 6 p.m.
