Tranfer Deadline Day Extended

The Premier League has announced that the first transfer deadline of the season has been extended by one day until 1 September. The decision was made between the Premier League, Football League and Football Association as the date of August 31 is on a Sunday. The news will be welcome to football clubs throughout England as it gives them an extra day to reinforce their squads before the window firmly shuts after the deadline. The deadline day is renowned for hectic activity and is one of the busiest days in the window. Football clubs will hope to conclude most of their business before the final day but as we have witnessed in the past this is anything but the case. It is common for some managers to even wait until the deadline to see if they can push through a last-minute transfer that would have otherwise been rejected.
