Premier League players could soon start asking for part of their salaries to be paid in cryptocurrency after former Arsenal full-back Kieran Gibbs explained why he receives half his wage in Bitcoin.
The 32-year-old currently plays for Inter Miami, the Major League Soccer franchise owned by David Beckham, and in an interview with the i said that he has spoken to a number of players who are exploring the possibility of being remunerated in a similar manner.
It is unclear if Premier League clubs will be willing to agree to such an approach, though Gibbs said that “I don’t think it would be that complex." A recent survey indicated that up to a quarter of Britons consider cryptocurrency "the future of finance."
