A number of papers today pick up on the effect the government's points-based immigration system may have on a particular group of migrants, often blamed by the media for taking jobs from (usually less-skilled) homegrown workers.
The group in question is foreign footballers, who will be barred from joining Premier League clubs from the autumn if they cannot speak English.
Anyone who has heard English footballers speak may wonder how high the bar can reasonably be set.
The Guardian describes the test as "covering everyday phrases and simple conversation".
The Sun, with the headline "Non-EU aces hit by new rules", reports that "plans to make it [the test] GCSE standard were reduced over fears too many would fail" - presumably they are referring to foreign stars and not English players.
Players who would have fallen foul of a harder test include Manchester United's Ji-Sung Park, from South Korea, and Carlos Tevez, from Argentina, and Arsenal's Denilson, from Brazil, according to the Times.
When Sven Goran-Eriksson took over as England manager, Brian Clough commented: "At last England have appointed a manager who speaks English better than the players". But current England boss Fabio Capello was rounded on for not speaking English following his appointment, although as an EU resident he would be exempt anyway.
The Times provides a handy guide for potential imports, which includes key phrases "At the end of the day", "I really wanted to play for the gaffer" and "This is my WAG, Chantella. She's been in celebrity magazines".
Is it right to make these demands of footballers or anyone else for that matter?
As immigration minister Liam Byrne points out: "Footballers earn enough to pay for English tuition."
This is an edited extract from the Wrap, our daily digest of the papers.
