The deadline for all leagues is set for Monday, February 3 at 23:00 GMT.
Once the transfer window closes, clubs are required to submit their squad lists.
The winter transfer deadlines for various leagues are as follows: Bundesliga (5pm GMT), Serie A (7pm), Ligue 1 in France (10pm), and finally La Liga at (11pm).
Is the transfer window the same for the Premier League and EFL?
The transfer window follows the identical schedule for both the Premier League and EFL.
