Premier League's Big Six will be BANNED from signing foreign stars if they agree to their participation in any new European Super League, warns the FA who insist 'we will make sure our rule book is tightened up'

The FA will ban any breakaway clubs from signing foreign players as part of their new rules designed to prevent the Big Six Premier League clubs attempting to set up any new European Super League.

FA chief executive Mark Bullingham says the governing body, which recommends to the Home Office whether work permits should be issued for any foreign player coming to England, insists that no club playing outside official leagues would be able to sign any foreign players.

The FA's powers have already considerably increased post Brexit as they now have power over allowing European Union footballers and coaches into the Premier League.
