Premier League clubs are eyeing a new rule change as part of a new finance deal that could affect young talents at Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.
A shareholders meeting was held this week that discussed plans for "a new deal for football" bringing changes to the parachute payments system, greater redistribution down the football pyramid and investment in infrastructure for League One and League Two stadiums. Chelsea are one of the most well-known clubs for using the loan system to develop young talents in the past, whilst Arsenal and Spurs have also benefitted from loaning players out before becoming a part of the first team squad, most notably Harry Kane for the latter.
With Brexit having reduced loan opportunities abroad for Premier League talents, clubs now want Championship sides to commit to developing British youngsters. Premier League sides have been frustrated with the lack of competitiveness at Under-23s level, with leagues lower down the football pyramid becoming an increasingly important place for young talents to develop their skills.
