THE January transfer window has officially opened, as teams seek to strengthen their rosters for the remainder of the season.
So, when does it close this year, and is the deadline the same for all European leagues?
When does the January transfer window open and close?
This year, English football clubs kicked off their January transfer window on Wednesday, January 1st.
Per league rules, new signings can participate in the subsequent Premier League match if the club submits all necessary paperwork by midday on the final working day before that match.
What is the transfer deadline day and when does it end?
The cutoff for all leagues is set for Monday, February 3 at 23:00 GMT.
Once the transfer window concludes, clubs are required to finalize and submit their squad lists.
Furthermore, the winter transfer deadlines for different leagues are as follows: Bundesliga (5pm GMT), Serie A (7pm), Ligue 1 in France (10pm), and La Liga (11pm).
Is the transfer window schedule the same for the Premier League and EFL?
The transfer window adheres to the same timeline for both the Premier League and EFL.
Premier League clubs are restricted to registering a maximum of two players on loan at any given time.
EFL clubs can enact emergency loans if all professional goalkeepers are unavailable due to injuries, suspensions, or international responsibilities.
