Premier League clubs could soon vote to re-extend the summer transfer deadline back to its former closing date at the end of August to bring the division back in line with the rest of Europe, only two years after a majority agreed to implement a self-imposed early deadline.
Following a vote on the subject in 2017, the summer deadline for Premier League clubs to register new players has fallen the day before the start of the season in 2018 and 2019.
It was seen as a measure to protect clubs and prevent players from being unsettled by transfer activity after the start of the season.
