A leading Premier League academy director has warned Brexit could send the cost of the best English talent “through the roof” as clubs now accelerate plans for the expected end to the free movement of European players below the age of 18. The value of UK under-18 footballers could skyrocket after Brexit, as clubs prepare for a possible end to the free movement of young European players. A report by the Football Association (FA) suggests that if Britain leaves the EU without an agreement on future trading relations, there will be no limit in how many players can move between clubs.
