Premier League chiefs look set to continue plans to stage all-star games including potential showdowns with other top European leagues... Despite Chelsea owner Todd Boehly being widely criticised for his north vs south concept

A team comprised of a combined Premier League XI could take on similar ensembles from Europe's top domestic competitions as plans for all-star games continue to pick up traction among football executives.

Borrowed from American sports, the concept of a Premier League all-star game has recently been floated by Chelsea owner Todd Boehly who proposed a north vs south game as a way to draw large audiences overseas.

Boehly's suggestions proved controversial, highlighting the contrast in opinions on importing a distinctly American aspect of the sport into the beautiful game.
