The transfer market is set to be transformed after the English FA confirmed strict new limitations on signing EU players after Brexit.
This has been agreed by the FA, the Premier League and the EFL and will be valid when the UK leaves the European Union on December 31, 2020.
Among the details, Premier League clubs cannot sign players from the EU who are under the age of 18, immediately terminating the tendency to poach teenagers from Serie A youth academies before they can be locked down to a contract.
