EFL clubs in favour of transfer window change

After early discussions between representatives of the 72 Football League teams – including Pompey – an official vote will take place in February 2018 to formally decide on the changes.

Premier League clubs voted to close next summer’s transfer window before the start of the 2018-19 campaign earlier this month.

But the Football League’s window would differ to the top flight’s.

While permanent transfers would have a shorter cut-off point, clubs could still make loan signings until the traditional end of the window on August 31.
