Premier League clubs to discuss transfer window deadline date next month

Should they delay the transfer deadline?

The early closing of the Premier League transfer window has become quite a divisive topic. Mauricio Pochettino recently slammed the decision to have the transfer window closed earlier than the rest of Europe for the Premier League clubs as it has the potential to unsettle squads.

This summer, the Premier League transfer window closed at 5 pm on August 8, a day before the Premier League opener between Norwich City and Liverpool. It is being claimed that several teams are of the opinion that the deadline needs to be extended.

However, there are still no suggestions that the clubs will vote on it when they meet next month. The report suggests that the voting could happen when the clubs sit down for another meeting in November.

Other European leagues' windows close only next week and this has become a source of frustration for the Premier League sides as players from their teams get courted by other European sides even after they lose the opportunity to sign a replacement themselves.
