    When does the transfer window close?

    The transfer window will close at 23:00 BST on Friday for the Premier League and English Football League, while in Scotland, the window will shut at midnight.

    Across Europe, the Bundesliga window will close at 17:00, Serie A at 19:00, Ligue 1 at 22:00 and La Liga at 23:00 but the Women's Super League transfer window remains open until 14 September.

    The transfer window for the Saudi Pro League, to where a number of high-profile Premier League players have moved this summer, is set to close on 7 September.

    Can a Premier League player signed on deadline day play this weekend?

    Under league rules, new signings are eligible for the next Premier League game if the club submit the required documents by midday on the last working day before that match.

    So any player signed after 12:00 on deadline day would be unable to play in this round of Premier League fixtures.

  3. Murillo can't wait to 'give my all for this club'published at 20:37 31 August 2023

    Murillo "can't wait to test" himself as he completes a permanent move to Nottingham Forest.

    The defender has joined the Reds on a five year contract from Corinthians in his native Brazil.

    The 21-year-old only made his senior debut for the club in April and made 13 first team appearances before his move to the City Ground.

    On joining the club, he said: "I am very excited to join Nottingham Forest.

    "It is a big club with a huge fanbase and I cannot wait to start playing at the City Ground.

    "The Premier League is the best league in the world, so I can't wait to test myself and give my all for this club."

    Forest's Chief Football Officer, Ross Wilson said on the transfer: "Murillo has shown his high level of ability and potential at Corinthians so naturally we are delighted that he now joins Nottingham Forest.

    "At only 21 years old we know how high his potential is and we look forward to helping him to maximise that."

    Former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Mark Crossley believe Steve Cooper's side "are here to stay" in the Premier League and is encouraged by what he has seen so far this season.

    Despite a disappointing early Carabao Cup exit on Wednesday, Crossley spoke to BBC Radio Nottingham before the game and said the side have shown in the league they are much improved from last season.

    "I’ve seen every game. I was working at the game at Old Trafford and they were excellent. You can see and sense that this team is a much more mature team now than what it was last year even," he said.

    "If we can improve it a little bit that will be great which I’m sure Steve Cooper will be looking to do. I just get a sense that we are here to stay. That’s the feeling that we get.

    "Although the fixtures have been really difficult, it was a big win against Sheffield United just to get three points on the board. They did really well at Arsenal, did really well at Old Trafford and maybe I’m being biased here but it was definitely not a penalty and I don’t think it was a sending off either. I thought the team look as though they are definitely going in the right direction.

    "If Forest are going to be a presence in the Premier League, we want to see a little bit of improvement this year from last season. It’s looking that way. A few new faces will be great and I already think there have been some exciting additions. All little progressions will help the team through this season."

    • Raheem Sterling, who scored all three of Chelsea's goals against Forest last season, has attempted more take-ons (21) and made more drives into the box (four) than any other player in the Premier League this season.

    • Taiwo Awoniyi has scored in each of his past seven Premier League appearances for Nottingham Forest, including two goals against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in May. The last player to score in eight successive games in the competition was Jamie Vardy between October and December 2019.
