The Premier League has announced that the 2023 summer transfer will officially open for business on Wednesday, June 14.
The announcement has come less than a week after the EFL announced that clubs in the Championship, League One and League Two will be allowed to start signing players from the same date. Following the EFL's structure, the Premier League has also confirmed that the window will close on Friday, September 1.
The window, as has been the case in previous years, will slam shut at 11pm BST that evening, meaning clubs across England's top four tiers will have more than two months to complete their summer transfer business. There was, of course, once a time where the summer window was open from July 1 to August 31, but the period for deals to be completed has been extended into June in recent years.

Meanwhile, the Premier League has also confirmed that the 2024 winter transfer window will open for business on Monday, January 1 and will close on Thursday, February 1. Like in the summer, the cut-off point for deals to be completed will once again be 11pm BST.
In a statement, the Premier League said: "To ensure harmonisation with the major leagues in Europe, the closing dates were set following discussions with the EFL, DFL, Serie A, LaLiga and LFP, who will all close their Summer and Winter windows on September 1 and February 1 respectively."
This forthcoming summer's transfer window is expected to be a busy one for Manchester United, who are planning to bring in new faces, not least a striker, and offload several members of their squad.
