AHEAD OF THE GAME: Premier League clubs who have given significant playing time to English players could get more leeway for foreign signings after Brexit

Premier League clubs who give significant playing time to England-qualified players, such as Chelsea this season, could be rewarded with greater leeway to sign more foreign players after Brexit.

In an innovative idea being discussed by the FA and the Premier League, a system of credits based on playing time has been proposed as a possible alternative to a hard quota for homegrown players, under which clubs who play English youngsters would be given more freedom in the transfer market.

The FA and the Premier League have been unable to agree on an updated quota system.
