When does the transfer window close?

What has been an unusually quiet transfer window is drawing to a close, with a number of clubs still expected to be involved in deals up until the deadline.

While the likes of Tottenham, Aston Villa, Manchester United and of course Chelsea have splashed the cash, spending upwards of £50m on Dominic Solanke, Amadou Onana, Leny Yoro and Pedro Neto respectively, most sides have looked to balance the books.

There have been no major incomings arriving without seeing players leave. Indeed, the average net spend of Premier League clubs is around £20m.

There are still a few big-name players potentially moving before the window shuts, with Jadon Sancho, Romelu Lukaku and Ivan Toney all linked with moves away from the Premier League.

When does the transfer window close?

The summer transfer window will close for clubs in England, Scotland, France, Spain, Germany and Italy on 30th August, with the deadline 11pm BST in England and 11:30pm BST in Scotland.

That means clubs in those countries won't be able to sign players beyond that time, but Saudi Arabian clubs - who've also had a fairly quiet transfer window - will still be able to sign players until 6th October, when their window shuts.
