Premier League: Clubs spend £400m in mini transfer window with early deals

Will summer signing Liam Delap become a key man at Chelsea?

After a busy 10 days and £400m spent the transfer window has officially closed for Premier League clubs - a week before it opens once again.

This summer has seen an unusual, two-part transfer window to allow clubs to sign players for the Fifa Club World Cup which begins on Sunday, 15 June (01:00 BST).

A second will open on Monday, 16 June, before closing on Monday, 1 September at 19:00 BST for Premier League, EFL and Scottish Premiership clubs.

Fifa rules state a transfer window cannot last more than 16 weeks in a calendar year, hence the split this summer.
