Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur - as well as every other side in the Premier League - are set to be affected by the latest transfer rule change that's reportedly being considered. The top-three clubs in London spent in the region of a combined £525million on players in the summer, amounting to over a quarter of all expenditure in the league.
And, the trio could soon be set to be encouraged to spend even more in future transfer windows if they're granted greater freedom over who they can and can not sign. According to The Athletic, Premier League clubs have shown an 'unanimous support' for the relaxation of restrictions that limit the ability to sign players from abroad.
The report states that there is a general consensus among the top-flight clubs that the Football Association's stance on the rule is 'softening'. The Athletic added that the subject was discussed but not voted on at a meeting on September 21; representatives from every Premier League club were in attendance, as well as FA chief Mark Bullingham.
