The FA is planning a "big" change in the Premiership
The English Premier League is planning to reduce the number of foreign players in the Premier League.
The source said the reduction could drop from 17 to 12 foreign players, adding that the aim of the move is to increase the number of local players in the Premier League.
The move comes in light of the desire to deal with the exit of Britain from the European Union.
The proposal is expected to be presented to the club management within this week. If approved, this will mean significant changes in the composition of many teams.
The 13 teams have more than 12 foreign players this season.
In contrast, the Times report revealed that the FA would agree to give the clubs the work permit, which is usually required for a player from outside the European Union, once a contract with his club in the Premier League.
If the clubs do not reach an agreement with the FA, they will face the possibility of equalizing the players of the European Union and the rest of the world's players in obtaining work permits while associating with their clubs.
