English Football League clubs have voted to introduce changes to the summer transfer window ahead of next season.
The deadline for Championship teams signing new players will be moved forward to align with that of the Premier League at 17:00 (BST) on 8th August, with that applying to both permanent and loan deals. Sides from the third and fourth tiers, however, will have until the end of the month to finish their business.
Last season, all EFL members were given up to the final day of August to complete loan signings, though all purchases had to be finalised by the ninth.
