An unnamed Premier League club has suggested the current season be finished in China as officials hold talks on how to save the season.

"It just doesn't make any sense. It is a crazy idea and I think it will get firmly rejected.
"If we were to pick up the Premier League and move it to another part of world right now we'd get absolutely slaughtered.
"Somebody accused us the other day of being in a bubble. I feel a little bit like they are right at the moment - even though I am not, I can see why people think we are."
Another executive also chimed in on the discussion and stated: "It's just a waste of energy. Let's just say we all want to start the league and life. Unfortunately only God and the pandemic can make this decision. And it does not look likely."
All 20 Premier League sides will take part in a video conference call on Friday in an attempt to move the season forward.
