Al-Fayed calls for salary cap

Fulham owner Mohamed Al-Fayed has called for the Premier League to introduce a cap on transfers and salaries in the wake of Manchester City’s £100m-plus pursuit of Kaka.

City have been flexing their new-found financial muscle since being taken over by Sheikh Mansour last summer and are willing to smash the world transfer record to bring Brazil star Kaka to Eastlands on a salary of half a million pounds a week.
