The clock is ticking for Premier League clubs to bolster their star-studded squads for the 2022-23 campaign.
Having edged out Liverpool for their fourth English title in four seasons, Manchester City opted to shake things up by signing Erling Haaland, Kalvin Phillips, Stefan Ortega and Sergio Gomez during the summer transfer window.
That came as Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling and Oleksandr Zinchenko moved in the other direction.
Manchester United brought in Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez, meanwhile, as new manager Erik ten Hag continues to pursue other targets such as Frenkie de Jong.
United, too, have seen several players leave Old Trafford including Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard all on free transfers.
Here are key dates and times you need to know before the summer transfer window closes;
What date and time is the summer deadline?
City and United will be able to make signings right up to the deadline on Thursday, September 1 at 11pm BST. With no major international competition to contend with this summer, it should be more straight-forward to get moves for players over the line as clubs have had several weeks to work on them.
What about other top European leagues?
Deadline day in England has been brought in-line with other top European leagues. Of course, there is some scope to go beyond the cut-off if the relevant paperwork has been submitted in time. This is why some moves do not get confirmed until the early hours. European deadlines vary from between 5pm and midnight.
When does the next transfer window open and close?
As always, clubs will be able to sanction deals throughout January with the winter transfer window set to open on New Year’s Day. The English deadline has been pencilled in for January 31 at 11pm.
