Fifa president Sepp Blatter admits the huge amount of money being pumped into English clubs by rich foreign owners is a worrying trend.
Blatter says the amount of cash in the Premier League gives English clubs an advantage over their European rivals.
"In France, Germany and Spain there are by-laws that say owners must be from the same country," said Blatter.
"This does not exist in the Premier League and it is a problem we must address."
Nine of England's 20 Premier League clubs are foreign owned, and several, including Chelsea and Manchester City, are likely to invest heavily this summer.
Manchester City have bid about £25m for Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o, and are reported to have offered the Cameroon striker wages of up to £250,000 per week, which would make him the highest-paid player in the world.
But despite Blatter's fears, the biggest spenders so far in Europe this summer are Spain's Real Madrid, who are owned by their rank and file members.
Real Madrid's purchases of Kaka from AC Milan for about £56m and Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United for about £80m have reportedly been partly financed by loans totalling £128m from Spanish banks.
Blatter is a cretin who just hates the premier league, its not even funny ...
Bet he wasn't coming up with this much shite when all the money was in the Italian and Spanish Leagues.
Right so he moans about the money coming into the premier league when if memory serves correctly, an english club hasn't broken the transfer record for quite some time and its been from abroad?
And i also don't see him mentioning Madrid in this.
Yeah funny how he has no problem with Madrid's spending.
Convenient that.
I don't understand how he ever got the job. It's not just his anti-english stance, its the ridiculous decisions he makes in general. He has come up with so many stupid ideas that thankfully were never implemented.
His usual hatred towards England, the man had no problem when Italy were spending massive money here there and everywhere, money a lot of the time they didn't actually have hence the big money problems a lot of these Italian sides are having now.
