Premier League chiefs consider one day extension to summer transfer window
The Premier League considering proposals to extend the summer transfer window by one day to September 1 with the August 31 deadline falling on a Bank Holiday.
Window breaker: Andrey Arshavin's late Arsenal arrival prompted scrutiny last Ferbruary
League officials are said to be concerned that some deals could hit the buffers with large sums being wired between clubs to banks that may not be in operation over the long weekend.
Approval for the plans must be ratified first by world governing body FIFA since the transfer window applies across all global associations but an extension is not unprecedented.
The Premier League came under scrutiny at the beginning of the year when they cleared paperwork Andrey Arshavin's move from Russian outfit Zenit St Petersburg to Arsenal despite its late submission, owed to the adverse weather conditions which forced a delay.
But with many manager's anxious that they may miss out on late targets, the Premier League will now consider the practicality of a one-day extension to the deadline in hope they can strike an agreement that would gain widespread approval.
