The limit is likely to be set at between six and eight players on loan from a club, with a maximum of two deals per season between any two teams. Again Chelsea will be severely penalised - they have three players on loan at Vitesse Arnhem, having sent several players to the Eredivisie club in recent seasons. FIFA had said earlier this year that its stakeholders committee, featuring representatives from clubs, leagues, players and national associations, had backed proposals to reform the transfer system. While Chelsea will be the hardest hit, many Premier League clubs are likely to welcome restrictions on top sides hoarding players before selling them on for profit. Twelve of the current 20 top-flight clubs have fewer than 10 players out on loan - Tottenham Hotspur have the fewest, with five.
