The Premier League and English Football League transfer window will shut at 23:00 BST on Tuesday, marking the end of the deadline day for clubs in England. The closing time means that any remaining transfer negotiations must be completed before the clock strikes midnight, or the deals will have to wait until the next window. Scottish Premiership clubs have a later deadline, set for 17:00 BST on Thursday, while clubs in the Women’s Super League must finish their moves by 23:00 BST on the same day. In the only confirmed transfer listed for the day, Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Caylan Vickers has joined Burton Albion on a deal that was reported as undisclosed.
