When does the January 2018 transfer window open and close?

We are now four months into the 2017/18 season, and with the January transfer window looming, thoughts are turning towards which players clubs can bring in to strengthen their squads at the midway point.

Clubs in the Premier League and Football League will be trying to sign the players they feel can give them that extra edge towards achieving their season objectives.

Rafa Benitez and Newcastle will be looking to sign players that will help them achieve Premier League survival, while Chris Coleman and Sunderland will look for the additions that will help them climb out of the Championship relegation zone.

It may not bring in the major deals of the summer window but given clubs only have a month to conclude their business it is set to be a frenetic period - both in terms of incomings and outgoings.

When does the window open?
It opens at midnight on Monday, January 1.

When does it close?
The window shuts at exactly 11pm on Wednesday, January 31.

Deals can be agreed on the day and sent to authorities before that time, and some paperwork can even be concluded the next day.
