    Top clubs consider overseas games
    Breaking news graphic
    The English Premier League is considering playing some matches overseas, BBC Sport has learned.

    At a meeting in London on Thursday, all 20 clubs agreed to explore a proposal to extend the season to 39 games.

    Those 10 extra games would be played at venues around the world, with cities bidding for the right to stage them.

    It is understood the additional fixtures could be determined by a draw but that the top-five teams could be seeded to avoid playing each other.

    It is unlikely that any decision will be taken before the Premier League's annual summer meeting in June.

    Should the proposal get the go-ahead, cities in Asia, Middle East and North America are likely to show a strong interest in hosting the extra games.

    BBC Sport believes there would be five venues, with two games - on a Saturday and Sunday - taking place at each one.
