Five of the Premier League’s big six clubs are using the break provided by the World Cup to attend a “transfer speed dating” event in Berlin next week.
The Premier League goes on a five-week hiatus following this weekend’s fixtures, giving clubs a chance to take stock of their plans ahead of the January transfer window. Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham are among more than 300 clubs who have chosen to attend the TransferRoom Summit in Germany.
Liverpool are sending sporting director Julian Ward, while Arsenal, United and City are sending their loan managers to represent the club at the event, which runs from November 14 to 16. Clubs will be given the chance to hold 12-minute face-to-face conversations which have been likened to speed dating due to their format.
