Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham to vote on new transfer rule amid Newcastle and FFP chaos

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur – as well as the 17 other Premier League clubs – will meet on Tuesday to vote on potential changes to related-party deals, which could have a big impact on how business is conducted in the English top-flight. The debate comes shortly after reports linking Ruben Neves with a controversial loan move to Newcastle United in January.

Premier League chiefs claim the proposal has not been designed to stop the Al-Hilal midfielder joining the Magpies, but is instead part of a wider debate over associated party transactions. So, with that being said, football.london has taken a look at everything you need to know about the vote and how it could impact Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.

Premier League clubs will be voting on whether or not there should be a ban on incoming loans from 'related-parties'. If the ban is passed, Newcastle United would no longer be able to sign players on loan from clubs who share the same owners.

For example, Neves has been heavily linked with a temporary move to the Magpies from Al-Hilal in January. But the Saudi state sovereign wealth fund, PIF, have a majority stake in both Newcastle and the Saudi Pro League outfit – as well as Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad too.

The English top-flight chiefs will also be voting on whether commercial deals with 'related-parties' should be allowed. If the proposal are voted through, Premier League clubs would have to prove they had received multiple offers of similar value when looking for sponsors.

The vote will take place on November 21, with 14 out of 20 Premier League clubs needing to agree for the proposal to be implemented.
