Arsenal confirm discussions over Super League, but insist they won't abandon Premier League

Rumours have swirled that 16 of Europe's biggest sides are looking to break off from the Champions League to form their own competition

Arsenal have confirmed they were involved in discussions over a breakaway Super League, but have insisted they do not want to abandon the Premier League.

German magazine Der Spiegel have reported that some of the continent's biggest clubs have been in talks about breaking free from the Champions League, and possibly their domestic leagues as well, to form a new competition.

The competition would feature 16 of Europe's biggest sides, who have grown tired of sharing revenues with smaller clubs in their domestic leagues and the Champions League.
