      Major change to transfer window in works as Premier League clubs set for talks over move that was previously abandoned

      by

      PREMIER LEAGUE chiefs are set to hold talks over changing when the summer transfer window shuts, according to reports.Last summer the transfer window closed on August 31, 2024, and this summer it will open officially on June 12.Signings such as Manuel Ugarte signed after the start of the season could become a thing of the past under a new proposalCredit: AlamySome Premier League sporting directors believe ending the window before the season starts will promote integrityCredit: GettyNegotiations in deals as Mohamed Salah, linked with a transfer away from the Prem, could leave Liverpool at a disadvantageCredit: RexHowever, new plans could see the 2025 summer window closed on August 14, two days BEFORE the start of the 2025/26 Premier League season.The measure, put forward in early February at a meeting between the sporting directors of Prem clubs, is not new to English football, having been introduced and later abandoned in 2018 and 2019.It means transfers such as Manuel Ugarte signing for Manchester United after already playing two league games could become a thing of the past.Club chiefs will discuss the proposal in a meeting on Thursday, as reported by The Telegraph.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLPassing the change will require a super-majority of 14 clubs, although if preliminary discussions indicate a lack of support it may be struck down before a vote.The main argument in favour of the move is sporting directors believing the integrity of the league would be better served by stopping all trading before the season starts on August 16.Additional discussions have proposed cutting the January transfer window down to just two weeks to minimise disruption to squads during the season.One of the main problems with the idea comes in persuading other European leagues to echo the move.Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKThere is also the variable of the Saudi Pro League, who are globally the second biggest spender on transfer fees after the Premier League.Saudi clubs spent £119million in the January transfer window after another huge spending spree in the summer. Ten Premier League stars wanted by Saudi Arabian clubsSome club chiefs believe shutting the window early would handicap them by giving them a disadvantage in negotiations.Stars such as Mohamed Salah and Andre Onana, exclusively revealed by SunSport, have been linked with moves to the Middle East in the coming summer.Modern transfer windows came into effect in the Premier League during the 2002/03 season following the Bosman ruling, which changed the landscape of football.Before then clubs were permitted to trade all-season, with huge signings like Eric Cantona to Man Utd happening on November 25, by which time the Red Devils had played 16 league games.Eric Cantona signed for Man Utd 16 games in the season in 1992Credit: Getty More

      Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner pleads guilty to having mobile phone behind wheel of her £70,000 Mercedes

      by

      KYLE Walker’s estranged wife Annie Kilner has been fined £198 after pleading guilty to not having proper control of her £70,000 Mercedes.The Wag, whose case was heard at Chester magistrates court this afternoon, was spotted at the wheel with her mobile phone in her hand last summer.Annie Kilner did not appear at court for the hearingCredit: SplashKilner pleaded guilty to the driving offenceCredit: Dan CharityKyle Walker’s estranged wife accepted she was behind the wheel while not being in control of a £70,000 MercedesCredit: BackGridShe was stopped by police in Cheshire at around 8.30pm on June 8 2024 as love rat Walker prepared to go away with the England squad for the Euros.Kilner, 32, was on her way to collect their four children when she was clocked with the device in one hand, and the other on the wheel, the court heard.She was due to stand trial, but instead did not attend and pleaded guilty via her barrister Nick Ross.As well as fining her, magistrates also imposed three penalty points on her driving licence.The charges stated the driver was “in such a position that she could not have proper control of the car”.Kilner was also charged with using a phone at the wheel but it was withdrawn.Michael O’Kane, prosecuting, said PC David O’Connor pulled her over at traffic lights on Bollington Lane in Alderley Edge, and said in a statement that he “suspected that the lady was talking to someone on her mobile phone”.Mr O’Kane continued: “He observed the driver, Miss Kilner, she had her mobile phone in her left hand with the other hand on the steering wheel.Most read in Football”The officer then pursued and stopped the vehicle and engaged in conversation with the defendant.”She said, ‘My kids are at padel’ and that she was late.”Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner set to get £750k to star in Celeb Big Brother – but only if bosses agree to strict ruleThe court heard a not guilty plea had initially been entered.But Mr Ross said she admitted the offence of not having proper control of her vehicle, rather than the offence of driving whilst using a mobile phone.He said the police officer suspected she may have been talking to someone on the phone but did not see her lips moving and she did not have the phone to her ear.He added: “This was a low-speed incident, an unremarkable incident and the defendant was on her way to collect her four children on that evening in question and she apologises for the offence.”Chair of the magistrates bench, Jean Bamford, imposed a fine of £198, with £400 costs and a £79 victim surcharge.She added: “Three points will go on her driving licence, that makes nine points. She will have to drive very carefully from now on.”The court heard she already has six points on her licence after exceeding a 30mph limit and for a traffic signal offence.Kilner faces a ban under “totting up rules” if she accumulates 12 points.The latest offence came months after Kilner and Walker, 34, had their fourth child and two days before the Three Lions ace flew to Germany.Kilner previously discovered her love-rat partner had fathered a second child with social media personality Lauryn Goodman.READ MORE SUN STORIESShe denied the driving charge in November.Her hearing is hours before Walker plays for England against ­Latvia at Wembley.
