When does the January transfer window close as Everton and Liverpool face deadline day wait
The January transfer window deadline is upon us with plenty of deals left to be done for many Premier League clubs.
Liverpool head into the window's final day having made no additions to Arne Slot's squad but rumours persist that the Dutchman is keen to add reinforcements before the deadline.
Throughout the transfer window, the Reds have been linked with Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, who could turn understudy to Andrew Robertson with the Scotland international's contract expiring in the summer of 2026. The 21-year-old Hungarian international is expected to cost in the region of £40million but is expected the remain at the Vitality Stadium until at least the summer.

Elsewhere, briefly-linked playmaker Xavi Simons made his stay at RB Leipzig permanent, moving from PSG for a fee in the region of £40million. Ajax defender Jorrel Hato was also reported to be a target for Slot but nothing is expected to materialise before Monday's deadline.
Meanwhile Everton hope to clinch the signing of Carlos Alcaraz before the window shuts, and could even spring a surprise or two in the final hours as they look to back new manager David Moyes.
What time does the transfer window shut?
The transfer window will close on Monday at 11pm UK time.
Despite its window having the month of January in its nam, the window's deadline falls in February in order for the Premier League clubs' dealings to stay in line with other leagues both domestically and across Europe.
Europe's other top five leagues also close at various points throughout Monday with a sleuth of last-minute deals expected to be made. The other leagues' transfer windows close at the following times:
La Liga: February 3, 11pm UK time
Serie A: February 3, 7pm UK time
Bundesliga: February 3, 5pm UK time
Ligue 1: February 3, 10pm UK time
Scottish Premiership: February 3, 11pm UK time
The Saudi Pro League’s transfer window closed on January 31, while the transfer window in Turkey remains open until February 11.
Can signings be made after the deadline?
While the window shuts at 11pm on Monday, there is still a chance of signings being announced in the subsequent hours as clubs can apply for a two-hour extension to allow them to finalise signings up until 1am on Tuesday.
