A deal sheet can be summited to the Premier League or EFL between 9pm and 11pm tonight. It proves that a deal has been agreed between two clubs and then allows extra time to finalise a transfer.

For the deal sheet to be approved, all paperwork must be fully completed. A deal sheet allows clubs to confirm personal terms with a player and carry out a medical.

The cut-off for deals to be finalised once a deal sheet has been submitted is 1am.
