The dates have been revealed

The football calendar has been getting more and more congested in recent years, with the latest addition being the revamped Club World Cup.

The new-look tournament will see a host of clubs from around the world compete in a group and knock-out format, meaning plenty more games than in previous, more trivial editions of the competition.

Because of this addition, the Premier League has now agreed to a historic first two summer transfer windows.
