The Premier League transfer window at the end of the season will open earlier than usual to allow clubs participating in the Club World Cup to sign players beforehand. England's top-flight clubs voted on Thursday to temporarily open the window from June 1-10.

The window will open briefly before the expanded competition, in which Chelsea and Manchester City feature, begins on 14 June

Top-flight clubs are expected to sign off on the new window - which will be open between June 1 and June 10 - at a clubs meeting in London on Thursday. A vote is scheduled to be cast on the proposal and will require a super-majority of 14 to pass.
