One transfer window may have closed on Monday for Premier League sides, while another is set to slam shut on October 16 - but there is a window that stays open all year round.
Top-flight teams hit a deadline on Monday in regards to trading with each other as well as clubs from the majority of Europe, leaving them with just a small window until the middle of the month where they can trade with teams in the Football League.
However, there is a third option which can see any side land proven talent for little financial expense and with no time constraint to get a deal over the line.
