Transfer window changes to be voted on by Premier League clubs

Tuesday, 15 August 2017 16:00

Changes to the transfer window are to be voted on by Premier League clubs.

The teams are discussing plans to close the summer transfer window before the start of the season next year.

The current window closes on 31 August, in line with many other European leagues, almost three weeks after the start of the Premier League season.

This has been a particular problem this season, with the future of several high-profile players who are expected to move between Premier League clubs - including Southampton's Virgil van Dijk, Swansea's Gylfi Sigurdsson and Everton's Ross Barkley - unresolved.

None played in the opening round of fixtures last weekend.

A vote is set to take place at the next shareholders meeting on 7 September.
