With heavy snow making traveling difficult, the Premier League have reached agreement with the Football Association and Fifa about an extension to the transfer window for clubs to complete medicals and agree personal terms. A statement from the Premier League read: "The Premier League has announced that it will grant applications from clubs to complete transactions after the 5pm deadline provided that:

- the board receives email confirmation from the two clubs involved that a deal has been agreed in principle; and - the club signing the player can satisfy the board that the prevailing weather conditions have prevented the signing from being completed by the 5pm deadline.

"The board will take a decision on a case-by-case basis as to when the registration documents have to be submitted after taking into consideration weather conditions and ability to travel."
