The January transfer window is very nearly upon us with plenty of clubs needing to do business.
The 2018 window saw some big names on the move as the likes of Philippe Coutinho, Alexis Sanchez and Virgil van Dijk secured transfers.
Some have worked out, while others haven't, but that won't stop sides looking to bring in new faces next month.
It remains to be seen which Premier League clubs will be doing business with teams at both ends of the table needing reinforcements.
But how long do clubs have to snap up players?
Here is all you need to know ahead of the January transfer window.
When does the transfer window open?
The Premier League transfer window opens at 12:01 on January 1.
When does the transfer window close?
The window will close on Thursday January 31.
Clubs will be unable to make signings from 11pm - although deals can get over the line if the necessary paperwork is done.
When can players make their debuts?
It has been agreed that no players registered at the start of the window will be eligible to play in matches between January 1-3.
What about in Europe?
France and Germany will play by the same rules as Premier League sides.
The transfer window opens on January 2 in Spain.
In Italy, the window is only open for a fortnight - from January 3-18.
Deals likely to happen
Christian Pulisic could well be on his way to Chelsea amid reports a deal has been agreed with Borussia Dortmund.
Cesc Fabregas and Gary Cahill could be on their way out of Stamford Bridge.
Elsewhere, Manchester United interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to be given the funds to strengthen his defence - with Toby Alderweireld still a target.

We keep getting linked with the Brazilian CB Eder Militao who plays for Porto. Only 20, 6'1", quite quick, and can play with the ball at his feet. Would love him here for part of the future. Can see us going for Toby in Summer still due to the cheap buyout-clause, but would love Militao as well and just ship out Rojo and one of the Smalling/Jones combo.

Actually, the number of goals we're conceding to weak opposition and the pressure we (mostly) put down the left rather than right are evidence of where we need to reinforce, but at least the results are there to give the manager credibility.GGMU

Low quality sources saying Mats Hummels may be a target. I am a Bailly hopeful, but I think a reliable and experienced CB for a short term would allow him to come up at a better pace.

We always keep quiet about our transfer dealings so I don't think there will be any noise until a deal is almost done.

Solskjaer appointment has been substantial to us more so than the new signings if Mou stays and make. I sincerely believes that Pog, Martial and De gea will renew soon which wouldnt be possible under Mourinho.

I’ll be honest, the turnaround from Solskjaer’s appointment has been more substantial than any new Mourinho signing would have been, so we are still getting net profit even if we don’t sign anyone in January.

You make sense. I don't see many transfers coming in this winter. I would look for a younger DM type for backup/substitution roll this season, with hopes that player can start next season. Now if there is an "older" DM player with good character and professionalism , why not being him in for a few months. Centerbacks are an obvious need but I don't see us making a big signing this winter. As for current United players going out on loan ,I can see a few going but I would not make any moves until after January 12th.

If Sanchez comes back all guns blazing in the RW position, that problem will be sorted. The only problems then would be to get top class CDM replacement for Matic and a world class CB. I'd honestly go for Ndidi, think he's criminally underrated in the league, and is potentially one of the best CDMs in the league right now. For CB I'd go for Alderweireld if Levy is willing to part with anything under 40m.

A world class and not injury prone CB is needed. A Matic backup when he is tired or injured. And a RB. Our midfield and attack are both stacked and with our form right now there is nobody to need.

We had 23% more shots than Man United (us: 320, them: 260) , we missed 20% more big chances than they did (us: 35, them: 29). Stats are screaming, SIGN A KILLER FORWARD.

We have the worst set of wingers and strikers (excluding Hazard) in the top 6.

Like literally we have everything to give a striker his goals but the ones we have refuse to even do the slightest help, you saw morata today, falling, giving out position, passing to the opposite team, so we desperately need one to convert those missed shots into goals

🔥🔥🔥 Lionel Messi is the Greatest most Extravagantly gifted player the world as witnessed Messi is not only a winner of individuals Distinction with Honors he clips all the others by a distance this record breaking phenomenon staggering as his trophy wall is barely does justice he is the only player constantly and continually Compared to Pele and Maradona as the greatest ever because that the only alien form of footballer that you can compare Messi too Lionel Messi stands shoulder to shoulder with these Geniuses! But for me he stands ALONE ON SO MANY LEVELs
