Premier League clubs are set to push for changes to the transfer window, with Brendan Rodgers the latest manager to admit his concerns over the current system.

Many of the top-six clubs are understood to be unhappy with the early closure of the transfer window in England and deadline day will be on the agenda at the shareholders’ meeting on September 12.

Changes were made to the summer transfer window in 2017, which brought deadline day forward before the start of the season, but the other top European leagues continue to trade for over three weeks longer.

The European deadline is September 2 and that has led to continued uncertainty over the future of Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen, while Manchester United’s Alexis Sanchez is also pushing for a move away in the next few days.

Clubs will hold initial discussions next month and it is believed there is an appetite for a return to the old system, or to push for European clubs to close the window at the same time.
