Premier League players have made a pact to keep each other updated on their respective wage reduction talks in a move designed to give them the upper hand in their battle against hefty pay cuts.
A WhatsApp group, primarily set up by club captains, is being used to keep each top-flight squad in the loop regarding pay cut talks.
Most squads have entered into negotiations with club executives with a view to agreeing wage reduction deals aimed at helping football cope with the financial impact of the coronavirus crisis.

The Premier League recommended a uniform 30 percent wage deferral for clubs to abide by on April 3 - but as it stands just two teams, West Ham and Southampton, have agreed deals.
