As the English league seasons start to get up and run, squads are beginning to take shape for 2025-26.
Sheffield United are yet to pay a transfer fee – as it stands, Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday are not allowed – and Middlesbrough still have much to do, but they are at least up and running.
Clubs have until 7pm on September 1 to complete their business. After that, they can only sign free agents until the next transfer window opens in the new year.
Despite their financial troubles, Hull have been busy adding some familiar faces, and Barnsley were quick to act after losing Marc Roberts to injury on day one of their League One campaign.
