5 Premier League clubs with the most number of loaned out players this season

#4 Brighton & Hove Albion

Tomer Hemed was a regular for The Seagulls last season, but has been loaned out this season

Surprisingly, the club at number 4 on our list is not a rich club, but South-East England based club, Brighton & Hove Albion. After securing promotion in the 2016-17 season into the Premier League, they broke their transfer record multiple times. This spending spree might be a reason they had to send out so many players on loan.

Well, providing surplus players some first-team football is always the reason for a loan spell. In this club's case, it seems the balance sheets was the main reason they had to send out 12 players on loan this summer, including last season's regular Tomer Hemed.
