Teams will be able to be granted extra time if needed through the use of dealsheets so here is everything you need to know about them...

When does the transfer window shut?
The transfer window shuts at 19:00pm in England on Monday 1st September. Usually it closes at 23:00pm but it has been pushed forward this year.

When were transfer deal sheets created?
Deal sheets were brought in back in 2008. Chelsea’s signing of Enzo Fernandez back in 2023 required a deal sheet. He joined from Benfica for £107million. The move was announved the following morning and the player said at the time: “I’m grateful to Chelsea and its ownership for doing everything they could to make me a part of this project. I’m happy and excited to join the Pride of London, to play in the best league in the world and to compete for the biggest trophies. I can’t wait to play in front of our fans and help my team-mates on and off the pitch.”
