We are already past the first week of the midseason business period for European soccer clubs, but when is transfer deadline day?

LONDON (AP) — Arsenal kicked off 2025 with a 3-1 win over Brentford to move back into second place in the Premier League on Wednesday. Mikel Arteta’s team shook off a slow start at Gtech Community Stadium to leapfrog Nottingham Forest and pull within six points of league leader Liverpool, which has a game in hand.

Premier League teams have made eight signings for more than £30m combined in the first week of the January transfer window, with the promise of more to come.

The winter transfer window is open, and shutting later than usual this year, at 11pm on February 3. Many of Yorkshire clubs have already dipped their toes into the market with ingoings and outgoings.
