Mail Sport breaks down everything you need to know about the Summer transfer window.
When will the transfer window close?
The Premier League transfer window officially opened on July 14, 2024 giving clubs the opportunity to strengthen their squads where they see fit.
Transfer deadline day has been moved this year in order to bring the Premier League in line with other leagues around Europe.
This means the window will officially slam shut on Friday, 30 August 2024 at 11pm UK time.
What about the Premier League’s profitabilty and sustainability rules?
Before transfer deadline day there are a number of clubs that will have another date circled on their calendar.
That is because teams will have to show they are PSR compliant by Sunday, 30 June.
Last season saw Everton and Nottingham Forest face point deductions for PSR breaches and there are some clubs who will be hoping they can avoid the same fate.
It is thought that Aston Villa, Newcastle and Leicester are among a number of clubs under pressure to offload players by the aforementioned date in order balance their sheets.
What deals were completed before the window opened?
Tosin Adarabioyo agreed to join to Chelsea on a free transfer ahead of the window opening
Eddie Howe signed Lloyd Kelly for the second time in his career as the defender joined Newcastle on a free deal
As mentioned before, a number of clubs have already made their mark in the transfer market before the window officially opened as they signed players on free deals.
Perhaps the biggest deal ahead of the window was Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo joining rivals Chelsea as they held off a late swoop by Manchester United.
West Ham have also made an early move as they completed the £19.2m signing of Palmeiras’ Luis Guilherme on a five year deal.
Wolves also wasted no time in getting their summer dealings underway as they agreed a 12.7m deal to sign Rodrigo Gomes from Braga.
