THE Premier League season is nearing an end – which means it’s almost transfer season!
SunSport has the all-important dates for the summer window below…
When does the summer transfer window open and close?
The summer window will open on Friday, June 14 – 26 days after the final matchday of the Premier League season.
And the window will close on Friday, August 30 at 11pm BST – exactly 11 weeks later.
Last summer, the window shut at 11pm on September 1, meaning this year it will close two days earlier than 2023.
No players signed after noon on deadline day will be eligible to play that weekend’s Premier League fixtures.
