Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has demanded a change in the rules in the Premier League, and requested that teams can not trade players on loan between each other unless a player is under the age of 21.
Arsene appears to be pointing to the loan move of Emmanuel Adebayor, who is currently enjoying a successful loan spell at Tottenham from Premier League rivals Manchester City.
“Personally, I would not ban players on loan from playing against their own clubs," said the Frenchman.
“What I would like to see in the Premier League is that you are not allowed to loan players over the age of 21.
"At the moment it is an opportunity for some clubs to reinforce other teams, without losing ownership of the player.
“For example, if a big club sends a big player to another club in the Premier League on loan, they only have benefits.
“That player cannot face his own club, yet he could win games against their rivals.
“Therefore, I think it would be better if players over 21 didn’t go on loan in the top league.”
