Premier League chief Richard Scudamore is coy over the introduction of a 39th global round.

Scudamore admits the competition cannot ignore their foreign fans.

"There's no economic imperative to play games abroad but there is a marketing (argument)," he told the Daily Mail.

"I'm not here saying the person who's had a season ticket for the last 30 years isn't more important than our fan base in Asia or America. But you can't ignore them."
