For the previous two seasons, the summer window slammed shut before the opening weekend of the top-flight campaign.

However, Newcastle United and their Premier League counterparts have today voted in favour of ditching the early deadline – the second Thursday in August.

From next summer, Steve Bruce will again have until the first day of September to bolster his Magpies squad before the 5pm deadline instructed.
