No way they are moving unless they have an ADJUSTED CAP for that team. The tax rates in London would cut disposable income for those players.  The top rate of federal income tax is 35% in the USA, and they only start to pay that if they earn more than $398,100 in a year – compared with 50% tax in the UK if you earn more than £150,000. To this add
Value-added tax (VAT) is a 20% sales tax levied on most goods in the UK. Visitors can get a reprieve from this, but then if the team moved they would not be visitors, now would they.  I can't see they players taking this kind of hit personally.

Any football team moving to London has always been an untenable argument, but disgruntled fans and talking media heads looking to fill hours of air time have glommed onto it as a thing.
