Newcastle United sporting director Dan Ashworth says that the Magpies are well equipped for the aftermath of Brexit and prepared to make changes to old transfer strategies in place.
United recently signed highly-rated Australia international youngster Garang Kuol from Central Coast Mariners after beating Barcelona to his signature. But Eddie Howe has already hinted he will go straight out on loan in January.
However, Ashworth - who has been involved in similar deals at Brighton & Hove Albion with Alexis Mac Allister and Kaoru Mitoma - is well rehearsed in how future deals will work.
Ashworth said: "We’re a world league, the whole world is open to us now in order to recruit and Brexit has changed the dynamics of who you can recruit and how but ultimately now, signing a player from Belgium or Brazil is the same criteria, whereas previously in the EU, it was different.
"Players coming into the here and now for Eddie, he would absolutely have full sight of them to make sure he is comfortable with them coming straight into his first team but you can’t expect him to be able to sign every player we ever sign across the football club. Where does it stop, the under-9s?!
"Consequently, we have to look at different ways to bring talent into the club through different routes. One of them is maybe they go straight out on loan.
"The work criteria in order to get GBE points in order to come in is fairly complex and therefore coming out of certain leagues that might be band four, five or six, maybe that player needs a loan experience before they can get the right points to work in the Premier League.
"With my previous club, there are some players who have benefited from that where they have been acquired, had a loan experience and then come successfully into the Premier League."
