Firstly, to bring order to the global registration system, world governing body Fifa only permits the transfer window in any individual country to be open for 16 weeks in any calendar year.

In Europe, four of those weeks are for the winter window, leaving 12 in the summer.

Fifa has also agreed to open a registration window mid-tournament, from 27 June and 3 July, to allow clubs to register additional players for the knockout stage of the Club World Cup.

In order to ensure Manchester City and Chelsea did not have an advantage over the other 18 top-flight clubs, the Premier League has adopted the same window.

However, 12 weeks from 1 June is 24 August. The Premier League wanted to be aligned with the rest of Europe's big leagues around when the summer window closes. Those leagues preferred to close the window at the end of August, so that meant the window had to close and reopen.

The transfer window will open early this summer, between Sunday, 1 June and Tuesday, 10 June, due to an exceptional registration period relating to the Fifa Club World Cup.

It will then reopen on Monday, 16 June and close on Monday, 1 September.

Chelsea and Manchester City are the Premier League teams in the tournament which takes place in the United States from Sunday, 15 June.

But the Premier League can only have 12 weeks of a summer window - hence the five-day break in order to run it until 1 September.

But don't worry if you're not a fan of City or Chelsea, as all top-flight clubs will be free to do business during the earlier window.
