Premier League chief Richard Scudamore admits there's growing demand from clubs and sponsors to hold games abroad.

Scudamore wants overseas games to happen, following the lead of the most lucrative sports league in the world, the NFL.

Most of the Premier League's clubs, led by the major foreign-owned sides, want them to happen. Meaningful games in foreign host cities could earn tens of millions per match. But home-based supporters' opposition seems to have kiboshed the notion.

"The clubs are keen for us to keep developing the concept but we're no nearer," Scudamore told the Mail on Sunday.

"The idea of an extra game is gone. Whether you play a regular season game (overseas), that has challenges, not least among the fans, which we take into consideration.

"I've never shied away from the fact that personally I think it's a good idea. I bear the scars from thinking it's a good idea. A lot of the clubs think it's a good idea... but there is absolutely no time line and no idea when it might happen."
