Premier League clubs want FIFA to bring forward Saudi Arabia's transfer deadline after Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola voiced concerns their stars could be plundered after the European window closes

Premier League clubs are set to lobby FIFA to bring forward Saudi Arabia's transfer deadline to prevent them being plundered for players after the European window closes.

Any approach to FIFA would be made by the FA, who are aware of concerns that have been strongly articulated by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, but have yet to receive a formal request to take action.

Saudi Pro League clubs have spent over £350m on new players this summer, the fifth highest outlay of any league in the world, with more big spending expected to follow.
