Bad news for football agents looking to send their clients to Chinese clubs on crazy contracts. Chinese Super League clubs will only be allowed to play three non-Chinese players per game in their next season – which begins in March. A rule change has reduced the number of foreigners allowed in a move which could slow down the wave of big-money signings from Europe. A statement said the new measures will address “irrational investments.” Previously the rule was “4+1” – four foreigners of any nationality plus one Asian in a matchday squad.
