When does the January transfer window close as Everton and Liverpool gear up for deadline day
Everton and Liverpool are running out of time to complete their transfer business before the window closes. The January transfer window remains open, although both the Blues and the Reds have been relatively quiet on the transfer front since the New Year.
January has seen David Moyes return to Goodison Park as the new Everton manager following the departure of Sean Dyche. It now remains to be seen if Moyes will have any new signings to add to his squad before the deadline.
Arne Slot has been enjoying a successful first season as Liverpool's new head coach following the departure of Jurgen Klopp. A host of players have been linked with a move to Anfield, but whether any will arrive before the deadline remains uncertain.

Here, the ECHO takes a look at the details for transfer deadline day ahead of what could be a busy end to the January window for Everton and Liverpool.
When is deadline day for the January transfer window?
Deadline day for Premier League clubs actually goes into next month.
Everton and Liverpool have until Monday, February 3 to complete any transfer business before the window slams shut.
What time does the January transfer window close?
Premier League clubs have until 11pm on Monday to complete any final signings, at which point the transfer window will close.
The deadline also applies to other countries across Europe, including France, Germany, Spain and Italy. However, the times for each of these countries vary compared to when the window closes in England.
In Germany, for instance, the transfer window for Bundesliga clubs closes at 8pm. However, in Italy and France the deadline is at midnight.
In Turkey, clubs have until midnight on February 11 before the transfer window closes.
Who has been linked with Everton ahead of transfer deadline day?
Everton have had a quiet January window so far, with very few rumours linking the Blues with new signings.
The Blues have been linked with signing a striker before the window closes, but do not have much time to get a deal over the line.
Reports from Italy have recently claimed that Everton are close to completing a deal to sign Rangers forward Hamza Igamane. However, the ECHO understands that such speculation is wide of the mark,
Who has been linked with Liverpool ahead of transfer deadline day?
Liverpool have also had several reports emerge claiming they are interested in signing some players before the deadline. Ajax star Jorrel Hato and Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez are two names who have been mentioned on the rumour mill in recent weeks.
It seems unlikely that either player will move to Anfield before the 11pm deadline on Monday, with neither Ajax or Bournemouth expected to be willing to sanction an exit so close to the window closing. Whether any other players emerge as targets in the coming days remains to be seen.
