“At a Shareholders’ Meeting today, Premier League clubs voted to adopt a change to the Summer Transfer Window closing date for season 2020/21.
“This will move the closing date back to the traditional point at the end of August/early September. The 2020 closing date will therefore be 17:00 BST on 1 September (31 August 2020 being a UK Bank Holiday).
“Clubs agreed after discussing the topic at length at previous Shareholders’ Meetings.”
The following statement was made by the Premier League earlier today, confirming that the summer transfer window deadline day will now take place on September 1st as opposed to the Thursday prior to the opening game of the season. This now means that they will fall in line with the remaining big leagues in European football.
The move is likely being done in order to ensure that top flight clubs in England don’t miss out on potential transfers in relation to some of their European counterparts.
