France, Germany, Italy and Spain all have their deadline on 31 January.

The Chinese Premier League January transfer window closes on 27 February.

In the Premier League, clubs completing deals late on deadline day will be able to submit a 'Deal Sheet' between 21:00 and 23:00 GMT in order to give them more time to complete a transfer.

Clubs will then have until midnight on 31 January to complete the information required by Fifa's transfer matching system to apply for international clearance for new signings.

This season, players who have played for one team in Europe are no longer cup-tied when they move to another club participating in European competition.

Players not under contract at a club are allowed to join a new club outside of the window.
