Professional Footballers' Association chief Gordon Taylor has said he is proud of the cosmopolitan nature of the Premier League and that the clubs will still be able to sign the best foreign players despite the EU Brexit vote.
"There is no reason why we still can't recruit the best quality foreign players if they want to come here," Taylor said on Friday.
"It doesn't mean any players have to go back," he added. "We will protect our members whether they are from Europe or the rest of the world."
"We are proud of our leagues, which are the most cosmopolitan in the world," Taylor said.
"We have provided more players to internationals to World Cups and the Euros than any other country.
"I think we have our members in all the remaining teams in France and we are proud of that but we have to bear in mind what has happened and how it will impact on the game."
