The English FA have announced drastic plans to cut the amount of foreign players in the local game.
They've announced proposals to cut the number of players from outside the European Union coming into the English game by up to 50 per cent.
Some 122 overseas players were granted visas between 2009 and 2013, 23 of them in the Football League.
The FA is proposing only Premier League clubs be allowed to sign non-EU players, and also be prevented from sending them out on loan, as part of a number of changes recommended by FA chairman Greg Dyke's England Commission.
Furthermore, only players from the top 50-ranked countries in the world could be signed unless the transfer fee is more than a fixed figure, either £10million or £15million.
