Premier League clubs have warned players who were previously on their radar that summer spending may have to be cut back this year due to the coronavirus crisis.
With professional football postponed, the financial impacts of Covid-19 have been clear for all to see, with clubs furloughing jobs and handing out wage cuts.
However, the Mirror claim that it is set to have a huge effect on transfer business too, with clubs keen to save not spend. It is understood that several side have held discussions with players over wage deferrals, though only West Ham and Southampton have so far been the only ones to reach an agreement.
