Teams will be able to sign players as from Friday morning as the 11-week summer transfer window opens, business allowed up until its closure at 11pm on transfer deadline day on Friday, August 30. But several deals have already been completed with a view to officially going through either when the transfer window opens or when current contracts expire this summer. One of those involves a Leeds favourite and two more of them present a £23m double swoop from a likely key promotion rival. Here, we run through the done deals so far.
