Radical new plans to limit Premier League clubs to just six loan exits per season

FIFA announce new plans to limit clubs to just six loan exits each season

Football's world governing body effectively wants to stop clubs from stockpiling young players and then loaning them out.

The Premier League has a particular issue with it as Chelsea currently have 11 players listed as being loaned out, including England prospect Conor Gallagher who is at Crystal Palace.

Manchester City have nine listed as out on loan and clubs now have loan officers to oversee deals between clubs and FIFA wants to avoid them almost setting up secondary businesses or feeder clubs.

FIFA will implement the rules on an international level to crackdown on foreign deals but said: "At domestic level, FIFA’s member associations will be granted a period of three years to implement rules for a loan system that is in line with the principles established at international level."
