Premier League says Brexit will not harm its appealLAURENCE GRIFFITHS/Getty Images Cesc Fabregas was one of the players to benefit from the previous EU system. Premier League clubs could find themselves missing out to German, Spanish and Italian clubs in the hunt for young talent. Last season, according to Sky Sports, 432 players from EU countries were registered to play in the 20-team Premier League. Arsenal keeper Petr Cech, a veteran of 12 years in the Premier League having also played for Chelsea, reacted angrily to the news on Twitter. The Premier League said Britain's decision to leave the European Union will not harm the prestige of the world's most popular domestic football competition but experts warned on Friday of long-term damage to football's transfer system.
