Clubs outside the so-called Big Six fear they will miss out on loan deals for their talented youngsters because they will be needed for the Premier League.

In recent seasons, clubs in the lower half of the Premier League and upper reaches of the Championship have benefited from borrowing players from clubs involved in European football.
Jesse Lingard’s move to West Ham is a prime example of how loan deals could work in these clubs’ favour.
