FIFA set to impose restrictions on clubs' abilities to loan out players

FIFA has announced that they will limit clubs' abilities to loan out players over the age of 22 in an attempt to ensure that future moves have "a valid sporting purpose for youth development."

The move, which was revealed on Thursday, comes as part of a wide-ranging effort by football's governing body to reform the way in which transfers between various clubs are conducted, and to help ensure the development of young talent, following a meeting of its committee stakeholders.
