因暴风雪天气影响，许多俱乐部在球员转会事宜上遇到了重重困难。英超联赛秘书长麦克·福斯特透露，联赛方面正同英足总、国际足联磋商，推迟转会窗口截止时间，以便报名转会的球员能完成体检和个人手续。
但他强调，这一决议只保护那些已经提出转会申请的球员，并不涵盖新的转会要求。
The Premier League has held talks with the FA and Fifa about extending the transfer window in order to allow more time for medicals and personal terms to be agreed.
The general secretary of the Premier League, Mike Foster, said Monday's adverse weather conditions could make the completion of deals difficult as players struggle to attend medicals.
He stressed that the extension would apply only to transfers that were in process and would not cover new deals.
