Former Crystal Palace says the Premier League should BAN outgoing transfers to the Saudi Pro League.

Jordan says Prem bosses should ban any transfers to Saudi Arabia after the European transfer window has closed.

“Premier League chief Richard Masters observed recently that we shouldn't be concerned by the Saudis' arrival. He's wrong, of course we should be worried!," Jordan wrote in the Daily Mail.

“Masters was foolish to say that because the Saudis could easily destabilise the ecosystem of football. If they continue to pay mind-boggling salaries that are beyond the reach of the world's biggest clubs then that will inevitably have a blowback effect on the economics of other leagues.

“So we need to start laying down some ground rules to our own clubs. A basic fundamental that could easily be introduced is preventing English clubs from trading with Saudi Arabia after the European transfer window closes. That is common sense and something central management in the Premier League should want to future-proof itself against the changes that are coming in our increasingly globalised society."
