Transfer news live updates: Latest on Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko, Darwin Nunez and more
Not long after a bonus mini-window this year for the Club World Cup in June, the primary period for player trading opened for Premier League and EFL clubs on June 16.
They will have until deadline day on September 1 to conclude any trading.
And this year, the window shuts earlier than the previous 11pm deadline — at a universally agreed and very civilised time of 7pm.
As long as deal sheets are submitted to the FA before that 7pm deadline, clubs and staff have a grace period of two hours to conclude paperwork on any late deals.

Trump attacks ‘woke' Jaguar as carmaker names first Indian chief
Jaguar Land Rover has appointed its first Indian chief executive as Donald Trump accused the company of being in 'absolute turmoil' following a 'woke' marketing campaign. PB Balaji, chief financial officer at the the carmaker's Indian owners, Tata Motors, is to take up the post in November as Jaguar deals with the fallout of a rebrand in which it ditched its big cat logo and embraced a new hot pink aesthetic. On Monday, the US president contrasted the fortunes of Britain's Jaguar with American Eagle, a US clothing brand that recently saw its share price surge after debuting an advertising campaign with actress Sydney Sweeney. Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social social media platform: 'Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney! 'On the other side of the ledger, Jaguar did a stupid, and seriously WOKE advertisement, THAT IS A TOTAL DISASTER! The CEO just resigned in disgrace, and the company is in absolute turmoil. Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that disgraceful ad.' It comes days after Adrian Mardell, the 64-year-old boss of Jaguar Land Rover, announced his intention to retire. Under Mr Mardell, the car company sought to shake off its traditional image as a brand for 'Jag Men' and instead target a younger demographic. As part of plans to relaunch the brand, Jaguar last year debuted an advertising campaign depicting a bright pink, Mars-like landscape and catwalk models wearing unusual, brightly coloured clothing – but no car. The clip was widely mocked online. Jaguar has also ditched its jumping cat logo and last December debuted a 'Barbie pink' concept car at Miami Art Week. Credit: Jaguar Critics have accused Jaguar of abandoning its core customers. Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, accusing Jaguar of going 'absolutely bonkers … showing a bunch of weirdos'. He predicted that the carmaker would 'now go bust. And you know what? They deserve to'. The appointment of Mr Balaji marks the first time Tata Motors has appointed a Jaguar Land Rover leader from within its own ranks since buying the two distinguished British brands from Ford at the height of the financial crisis. Mr Balaji, a mechanical engineering graduate, has worked at Tata Motors for almost eight years and has overseen a turnaround at JLR's parent company. The company has long been a dominant player in the Indian car market but was loss-making when he arrived. Tata Motor's share price has soared around 270pc since he arrived. At Jaguar, Mr Balaji must oversee a make-or-break relaunch of the brand. New Jaguars are currently unavailable in the UK as the carmaker prepares to launch an all-electric range next year. On Monday, Mr Trump said that Jaguar should have 'learned a lesson from Bud Lite, which went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short campaign, the Company.' Two years ago, Bud Lite enraged Right-wingers in America and saw its sales plummet after it used transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in its marketing. Mr Trump said on Truth Social: 'The tide has seriously turned – Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be.' His comments also came after it emerged that Ms Sweeney was a registered Republican. Records uncovered over the weekend show she registered with the party in June last year. Shares in American Eagle jumped 17pc after the president's endorsement. Jaguar Land Rover's sales dipped to £25.2bn for the year to March 31, down from £25.7bn a year earlier. The company said this was driven by 'the prioritisation of higher margin vehicles'. More recently, the company's business has been hugely disrupted by US tariffs. JLR's sales to the US were temporarily paused in April after Mr Trump announced a 25pc tariff on car imports. The British carmaker sells around 100,000 vehicles each year in the US and the trade war put some £6.5bn in sales at risk. The US-UK trade deal secured a 10pc tariff for the first 100,000 British vehicles exported, seen as predominantly benefitting JLR. Aston Martin has pushed for rules to stop the system becoming 'a JLR tariff agreement'. Last week, the company said: 'Adrian Mardell has expressed his desire to retire from JLR after three years as CEO and 35 years with the company.' Jaguar Land Rover has been approached for comment.

Brazil's Paixao promises 'big things' at Marseille unveiling
Brazil striker Igor Paixao was unveiled at Marseille on Monday as he vowed to deliver in Ligue 1 the form and ambition he showed at Feyenoord. The 25-year-old scored 18 goals and provided 19 assists in 47 appearances in all competitions last season, before his 35 million euros ($40 million) switch to Marseille on a five-year deal. After finishing runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain last year, Marseille will play in the Champions League in the upcoming campaign where Paixao can link up with former Manchester United star Mason Greenwood. Paixao said he owed it to Marseille to give everything, and that this matched his ambition to make the Brazil squad for the 2026 World Cup. "Marseille is a club with values. That's very important for me, for everyone. I want to give my all... It's a major responsibility and I think we're going to do big things," he said. Paixao added he was inspired by former Marseille player Franck Ribery. "With his dribbling, his goals, Ribery was an exceptional player, I will try to be like him, to be able to make history with this club," he said. Paixao earned one Brazil under-23 cap in 2023. we/dmc/nf

Why people on £35K should opt out of winter fuel payment by September deadline to avoid HMRC headache
People earning £35,000 or more will still receive the benefit in their bank accounts - but will then be forced to pay it back in tax. Millions of pensioners will once again receive the winter fuel payment later this year. After the government sparked uproar last winter by taking the benefit from 10 million people, chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed in June it would be restored to pensioners who have an income of less than £35,000 a year. Those who earn more than the threshold will actually receive the winter fuel payment in their bank accounts as well, though it will be taken back at a later date in tax - prompting experts to urge them to opt out of the scheme before the September deadline to avoid a potential "tax clawback headache". What is the winter fuel payment? It's money from the government to help pensioners pay their heating bills over the winter. The payment is between £100 and £300, depending on each person's circumstances, and will automatically be paid into bank accounts in November or December. People will receive letters before then telling them how much they will get and what account it will be paid into. The winter fuel payment has been one of the most contentious issues for Sir Keir Starmer's government. Last summer, it decided to limit the payment to only those who claimed pension credit in one of its first acts, aimed at balancing what was described as a £22bn 'black hole' in the public finances. This meant the number of pensioners receiving the payment was reduced by around 10 million: from 11.4 million to 1.5 million. YouGov polling suggested 57% of Britons were against this. Who is eligible? Everyone who was born before 22 September, 1959, and lives in England or Wales, will receive the winter fuel payment. What are the tax implications for people earning £35,000? The approximately two million pensioners whose annual income is above the £35,000 threshold will also receive the payment if they don't opt out - though it will be taken back in tax. The government will take the money back by either changing their 2026/27 tax code or adding the figure to their 2025/26 self-assessment return. John Havard, a consultant at tax advisors Blick Rothenberg, warned on Monday that anyone who doesn't opt out and earns even £1 above £35,000 could face a "tax headache". "A 'wealthier' individual with an income over £35,000 will be subject to a tax 'clawback', where the winter fuel payment they receive is required to be returned to the government," he wrote in a blog. Watch: Reeves on pensioners earning under £35k to get winter fuel payments "Given this will be a complex process, and just £1 of income above the £35,000 limit is enough to trigger a clawback, those in favour of a simple life will need to opt out." He said the clawback process is "potentially complex" and an "administrative headache". Havard also said people near the threshold should watch out for any small increases to their income, such as a pension payment, interest or part-time earnings that could "tip someone over the limit and cause them to fall into the clawback process". Can you opt out of the winter fuel payment? People can choose to opt out of the winter fuel payment by contacting the government. This has to be done before 15 September.
