Getty Images | "In certain cases, loans turn out to be a real success. World-class footballers such as the Belgians Thibault Courtois and Kevin de Bruyne notably figure in the list of players loaned to big-5 league clubs over the last ten years," writes CIES.

During the last decade, the number of loans between clubs taking part in the big five leagues has grown significantly.

Italy is the country with most loans, but Chelsea come in second behind Italian side Udinese with most players loaned to clubs from the five biggest leagues.

FIFA is reportedly ready to limit the number of players that can be loaned out by each club.
