Geoff Shreeves aimed a dig at the Premier League after securing himself a new job following his departure from Sky Sports at the end of last season.

The veteran reporter left Sky Sports during the summer after 32 years with the company.

But he's now landed a new role for the rest of the 2023/24 campaign.

He's joined the CBS Sports team and will offer his services on their CBS Sports Golazo show.

Shreeves spoke of his delight at linking up with the company that boasts pundits and presenters like Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and Kate Abdo, among others.

He also aimed a thinly-veiled dig at the Premier League.

Shreeves bemoaned the lack of coverage of England's top flight for fans in the UK, claiming you can watch more football if you live in America.

He said: “First and foremost my reaction to what you’re doing there right now is one of envy. We don’t have that here in the UK.

"We don't have a show, two hours long, dedicated simply only to football [CBS Sports Golazo]."

Shreeves added: "You can see more Premier League football if you're living in America than you can if you live in the UK.

"Every game is televised for the American audience and it's absolutely fantastic, the coverage."

He's referencing the blackout which prevents live football from being shown on TV in the UK between the hours of 2:45pm and 5:15pm on a Saturday.

The Premier League has faced calls to scrap the 3pm blackout on Saturdays.

A new idea is being proposed to satisfy both clubs and broadcasters.
