While the transfer window is set to slam shut at 11pm this evening, clubs could have an extra two hours in which to finalise the details of any further incomings.
Although, Burnley aren't expected to conclude any deals - that could change if the right man becomes available at a good price.

Premier League rules state clubs can be given until 1am to complete the deal - providing that the club have submitted a 'Deal Sheet'.
These sheets provide details of the impending transfer and confirm that an agreement has been reached, before providing clubs with extra time in which to submit all the required documentation.
The details required on this sheet are fairly basic and amount to the clubs and player involved and the fee being paid, if there is one.

Once received and approved by the Premier League, clubs can then be granted permission to submit all the required transfer paperwork by a 11pm deadline.
Burnley will also be able to sign free agents after the window slams shut this evening.
