It’s D-day COLLY: PREM SO GREEDY

PREMIER LEAGUE clubs should have been banned from buying and selling this summer with monies instead going to the EFL sides fighting for their lives.

That’s the view of former Liverpool and Nottingham Forest star Stan Collymore, who finds it obscene that the country’s biggest clubs have spent more than £1billion at a time when the coronavirus crisis is pushing some of our smaller clubs to the brink of their existence.

Chelsea have spent big with Kai Havertz and Timo Werner helping to take their outlay to well in excess of

£200m. And Man United could yet spend more than

£100m on one player, Jadon Sancho, before the transfer window closes tomorrow.

Collymore said: “There should have been a moratorium on transfers in the Premier League. People argue you don’t see Tesco bailing out Hog’s Butchers. But football clubs need each other to play against and it doesn’t matter what tier an outfit is i n, they are all giving to the eco-system.”

TARGET: Sancho would cost more than £100million

SHEFFIELD UNITED

Deadline day priority:

Chris Wilder will try to bring in a left-back before the window closes.

Best business so far:

Rhian Brewster from Liverpool will bring goals. Ethan Ampadu looks a shrewd loan signing.

MANCHESTER CITY

Deadline day priority:

They’ve a shortage of strikers if Aguero and Jesus are injured.

Best business so far:

Defensive signings of Nathan Ake and Ruben Dias were needed to

stea steady the ship.
