Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have all had a busy summer on the transfer front. They all have the chance to bring in some more new faces before the end of the window. The trio also have the opportunity to let some players head out the exit door as well if needed.
Other London clubs Crystal Palace, West Ham, Brentford and Fulham may also do some business before the deadline. The deadline this year is at a slightly earlier time than usual at 19:00pm. Teams will be able to be granted extra time if needed through the use of dealsheets so here is everything you need to know about them...
What is a transfer deal sheet?
A deal sheet is a form that allows a club to confirm that an agreement has been reached with a player. They are then granted extra time to finalise the deal. Teams have to complete it in the last two hours of the window.
How long does a transfer deal sheet work for?
A deal sheet can be used for two hours from 19:00pm. It must have been submitted beforehand from 17:00pm onwards. If the necessary paperwork hasn’t been submitted beyond 21:00pm, a deal can’t be passed.
When does the transfer window shut?
The transfer window shuts at 19:00pm in England on Monday 1st September. Usually it closes at 23:00pm but it has been pushed forward this year.
What does a transfer deal sheet consist of?
The deal sheet has to state...
The selling club
The buying club
The transfer fee
The guaranteed sums
The contingency payments
When were transfer deal sheets created?
Deal sheets were brought in back in 2008. Chelsea’s signing of Enzo Fernandez back in 2023 required a deal sheet. He joined from Benfica for £107million. The move was announved the following morning and the player said at the time: “I’m grateful to Chelsea and its ownership for doing everything they could to make me a part of this project. I’m happy and excited to join the Pride of London, to play in the best league in the world and to compete for the biggest trophies. I can’t wait to play in front of our fans and help my team-mates on and off the pitch.”
