When does the first summer transfer window close before Club World Cup?
The first transfer window of the summer is set to come to close as teams face a race against time to get deals over the line ahead of the Club World Cup. This early-June mini window is a fresh alteration to summer transfer proceedings - an additional registration period created by Fifa which national associations could adopt if they had teams involved in the inaugural competition, which starts in the United States on June 14. The Premier League opted to take on the new window, allowing Manchester City and Chelsea to make signings before the start of the tournament. Both have been active in the 10-day period, with City having completed the signing of Wolves left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri, while Chelsea have acquired Ipswich striker Liam Delap. And while numerous of other clubs have taken advantage of the window, with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United also completing transfers, teams have just a few hours left until the transfer window slams shut again. Here is everything you need to know about the pre-Club World Cup transfer deadline. When does the first summer transfer window close? The transfer window traditionally closes at 11pm BST, but an earlier deadline of 7pm has been put in place for the short window which shuts on Tuesday 10 June. The earlier deadline is intended to allow club and league officials to complete their work at more sociable hours rather than still be at their desks well beyond midnight. When does the summer transfer window reopen? The main summer transfer window will reopen on June 16 and runs until September 1, on which a deadline of 7pm will also be in place.

Football transfer rumours: Gittens to Chelsea before first deadline closes?
The summer's first transfer window will close on Tuesday night at 7pm UK time ahead of the Fifa Club World Cup so watch out for some last-minute jobs to fill up squads for Gianni Infantino's folly. Will Manchester City get Rayan Cherki signed in time? Chelsea are after a keeper in Milan's Mike Maignan and want to add Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund to their winger collection. Both deals may go to the wire. When Bournemouth were flying high in mid-winter there was a fun game to play. Less fun if you were a Cherries fan, of course, but the game was to fit their unearthed gems with the clubs they would end up at. Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid was unexpected but then again Illia Zabarnyi to PSG, actual European champions, may well trump that. The club are prepared to sell, at the right price, but have demanded a £59m fee for the Ukrainian.

That may depend on either club's success in landing Bryan Mbeumo. One of the clubs interested in Mbeumo were Newcastle, and he's said to have turned them down, as have a number of other players. No PSR troubles this time, so a panic setting in? The Toon in for West Ham maverick Mohammed Kudus? Sounds possible, though Chelsea also fancy him. The boy of this summer – though he's 30 in September – is Jack Grealish, unwanted by Manchester City, allowed to leave, and looking for a new challenge while trying to rediscover the old magic. Bayer Leverkusen is an interesting link, though how they might afford the wages of a player with two seasons remaining on his Etihad deal is another question. Advertisement Erik ten Hag must have liked what he saw in those Manchester derbies, and he would be coaching Jack in Germany's industrial heartlands – Jack, being a Brummie, knows all about industrial heartlands. Well, maybe a bit. Anyway, should he blow out Bayer, there's Everton, Newcastle and Tottenham in England. There's Saudi interest, too, and also Milan, Napoli, Borussia Dortmund and Inter. An emotional return to Aston Villa? Sadly, the numbers don't add up. On the continent, Bayern Munich want a winger, and are not messing about in targeting PSG's Bradley Barcola and Athletic Club's Nico Williams. Will they be done in time for Bayern to play at the Club World Cup? Unlikely.

Why does the summer transfer window close today and when does it reopen?
SOME huge deals have already been completed this summer, and many more are in the pipeline. Chelsea and Manchester City have already done a lot of their business as they look to go into the lucrative Club World Cup with their new talent on display. 2 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW City have already signed Wolves wing-back Rayan Ait Nouri in a package worth £36.3million. And Pep Guardiola is expected to add three more players worth a collective £80m before tonight's deadline. Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders and Marcus Bettinelli are all set to come through the door at the Etihad. Elsewhere, Chelsea have already completed the signings of Liam Delap and Mamadou Sarr. The Blues have also been linked with Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens and AC Milan's Mike Maignan. But the clock is ticking for Chelsea and other clubs to complete deals before the Club World Cup. Why does the summer transfer window close today and when does it reopen? This summer, the transfer window has been split into two sections, with the first running from Sunday, June 1, to 7pm BST on Tuesday, June 10. The reasoning behind the early window is to allow teams competing in the Club World Cup to make signings before the tournament begins on June 15. The second part of the window will then reopen on Monday, June 16, before closing properly on Monday, September 1 at 7pm BST. The window can be open for a maximum of 12 weeks, which is why there is a six-day break in between the two parts to allow it to run to September 1.
