Summer transfer deadline day 2024: All you need to know

What time does the window close in England and Europe? Will there be any last-minute deals?

The Premier league season is well under way and clubs in England are now running out of time to strengthen their teams for the first half of the season. 
This is the final week of the summer transfer window. Business closes on Friday (August 30).
The transfer window in England is set to be shorter this year, with business concluding on Friday, August 30 at 11pm. 
The Premier League and Scottish Premiership brought forward deadline day to fall in line with other major leagues in Europe.
However, clubs can apply for a ‘deal sheet’ two hours before the deadline, if they are concerned about a deal for a player that will not get over the line before 11pm. 
The deal sheet allows a club to confirm that an agreement has been reached and to allow for additional time to submit the required documentation. 
La Liga’s window ends at the same time but French teams in Ligue 1 have an hour less to complete deals with a 10pm deadline. The Bundesliga window closes at the end of the working day, at 5pm, while transfers in Serie A must be completed by 7pm.
In the Premier League, Tottenham have landed Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke for an initial free of £55m plus add-ons. 
Manchester United have stepped up their summer spending plans by agreeing deals with Bayern Munich for Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui to bolster Erik ten Hag’s defence for the season.
Meanwhile, Manchester City have sold Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid in a deal worth a worth €95 million (£81.5 million) with the Argentina World Cup-winner becoming the Premier League champions’ record sale.
West Ham have signed Aaron Wan-Bissaska on a seven-year deal as their spending spree continues. The right-back is the club’s eighth senior signing of the window as they look to back new coach Julen Loptegeui. 
As expected, Chelsea have been one of the busiest clubs in the transfer window. Winger Pedro Neto has been the most high-profile signings of the window so far – but of course this could change at any moment. 
Thiago Silva has been replaced by Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall arrived from Leicester City to link back up with Maresca. 
Sadly, there is not a great deal to watch on the day, and Sky Sports News has rather lost its monopoly on the day’s events. Many fans will spend the day frantically scrolling X, formerly known as Twitter, but if you would prefer to stay sane we recommend following all the deals and expert analysis on Telegraph Sport’s live blog. 
Bournemouth are exploring a move for Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah, who is available following the breakdown of discussions with Marseille.
Nottingham Forest are close to signing Paraguay international winger Ramón Sosa for £11 million, with Nuno Espírito Santo confirming the club are also targeting another centre-forward.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have been dealt a blow to their summer recruitment plans after Martin Zubimendi decided against a move to Anfield and will stay at Real Sociedad. 
Arne Slot is yet to make a signing since his appointment as manager and at this stage of his first window is unlikely to make a move for alternative midfielder Zubimendi.
