Premier League 'set to announce six-team preseason tournament in the USA' this summer... with Chelsea, Newcastle, Brighton, Villa, Brentford and Leeds (if they stay up!) all invited

The Premier League is reportedly coming to the United States this summer in the form of a six-team tournament.

Chelsea, Newcastle, Brentford, Brighton, Aston Villa will all take part, with Leeds United likely if they keep their Premier League status, per The Athletic.

Reportedly labeled the 'Summer Series', the English top flight teams will face off in late July across the east coast.

It follows the likes of the NBA and NFL expanding its appeal to a global audience, partaking in games in Paris, London, and Munich respectively -- which have been noted as 'inspiration' for the imminent competition.
