The EFL is to hold talks with clubs next month over closing the summer transfer window before the start of a new season.

The EFL has confirmed that it will hold talks with clubs next month over closing the summer transfer window before the start of the season.

The news comes a day after the Premier League proposed the introduction of a new summer window, which would prevent new players from joining top-flight clubs before the opening day of a new campaign.

An EFL spokesman is quoted by Sky Sports News as saying: "The EFL Board and its clubs have previously expressed the opinion that closing the summer transfer window in advance of the season commencing would be an improvement on the current position.

"On this basis we will be tabling the matter for discussion with clubs in September.

"It will be important that all the consequences of such a decision are fully considered, as the requirements of our clubs are different to those in Europe's top flight leagues."

As things stand, all clubs in England's top four divisions can buy and sell players until the deadline passes at midnight on August 31.
