Premier League consider All-Star game decision that could impact Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham

Todd Boehly's suggestion of a Premier League All-Star fixture doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore. The Chelsea co-owner was subject to considerable backlash from large sections of the football community when he voiced his idea at the SALT conference in New York earlier this month.

But, the American billionaire doesn't look so silly now with higher-ups catching wind of his idea. According to The Times, plans for an All-Star game are set to be revived, with a Premier League XI set to face the best players from Germany, Spain and other top leagues.

It's said that the event 'could be staged around the world as a means of growing global audiences.' The proposal of an overseas fixture follows backlash from when similar ideas have floated around in the past - namely when the 2021/22 Supercopa de España was hosted in Saudi Arabia.
