The government is "exploring every possibility, including legislative options", to stop the proposed European Super League, the UK prime minister Boris Johnson has said, APA reports citing Sky News.

Speaking after talks with officials from football's governing bodies, Boris Johnson said "no action is off the table" in seeking to block the formation of the league.

A Number 10 statement said: "The prime minister confirmed the government will not stand by while a small handful of owners create a closed shop.

"He was clear that no action is off the table and the government is exploring every possibility, including legislative options, to ensure these proposals are stopped."

Downing Street has not ruled out stopping players of clubs involved in the breakaway European Super League getting work visas or withdrawing police funding for match days.
