Arsenal chief Gazidis: Time to change agents' fees

Arsenal chief Ivan Gazidis has hit out at agents' fees.

Gazidis claims players are losing out financially due to excessive fees paid to agents, an issue the sport needs to address.

"Most clubs pay to the limit when they buy a player and so wherever this money goes it will still be the case of paying to the limit," Gazidis told a news conference following a meeting of the European Club Association (ECA), the organisation which represents European football clubs, to discuss the current transfer system.

"If I was a player or a players' union this would concern me. Players should make more money as the money paid to the agents should be going to them.

"There is a lot of money given to agents and it is in our interests to change this."
