Shrewsbury Town faces transfer fee embargo over late payment

Shrewsbury Town has been placed under a transfer fee embargo by the EFL following a late payment related to a loan signing. This restriction prevents the League Two club from making purchase transactions for the remainder of the summer transfer window, which closes on September 1. Although they cannot buy players, Shrewsbury is still permitted to sign free agents and complete loan deals. The club stated they settled the late payment promptly once they identified the issue. Shrewsbury has already secured five free agents this summer and signed a midfielder for an undisclosed fee last month.
