List of English football transfers summer 2008

Only moves featuring at least one Premier League or Championship club are listed.

However, as 31 August fell on a Sunday in 2008, the deadline was extended by 24 hours to midnight on 1 September 2008.

[1] Players without a club may join one at any time, either during or in between transfer windows.

Clubs below Premier League level may also sign players on loan at any time.

If need be, clubs may sign a goalkeeper on an emergency loan, if all others are unavailable.
