'Premier League transfer market will dramatically change'

The Hindu  

Premier League clubs should brace for the transfer market to "dramatically change" as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Asked what effect the global health crisis and its knock-on financial ramifications would have on the transfer market, Hughton told Stats Perform News : "I think with regards to higher transfers – worth 40/50/60 million pound – I think it will dramatically change for a period of time. "I think, it will have a big financial affect on the game, even the bigger clubs, and it will take some time to recover and get back to the norm. "Certainly, in this period of time and the big transfers that we're used to seeing – I don't see them happening."
