It’s not the first time that former Major League Soccer Deputy Commissioner and current Arsenal Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis has brought up the idea of capping the salary system in England, but has revisited the conversation again with the insane amount of money being spent recently by the massive clubs around the world.

Real Madrid have been the summer’s big spenders thus far, splashing out on €180 million worth of talent despite the transfer window only officially opening one day ago, yet Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea are also expected to bolster their respective squads substantially.

Arsenal, meanwhile, look set to rely on their contemporary ethic of thrifty management, particularly in the transfer market, as the low-key signing of Ajax stopper Thomas Vermaelen appears likely to be augmented by a few further little-known recruits.

Regarding a possible change to the way in which clubs spend and budget, Gazidis informed The Guardian, “I think it is worth our while to investigate whether there are elements of the salary cap system, which they have in US NFL and baseball, which would benefit football.

“Clubs have a duty to provide more stability in our business models and some form of wage restraint is one element worth looking at.

“There are many ways in which it could work,” he concluded.
