Premier League nears solidarity deal with EFL

Original: Premier League close to agreeing solidarity package with EFL after years of stop-start talks

The Premier League is close to agreeing a solidarity package with the English Football League, according to the New York Times, following years of stop-start negotiations over funding for lower-division clubs. A deal would channel more top-flight money into the Championship, League One and League Two, easing financial pressure across the pyramid and potentially reducing the need for the independent football regulator's intervention.

Why now: Premier League and EFL talks have dragged on for years, so a breakthrough on funding lower-league clubs is major football news.
