Premier League chief Richard Masters insists he's 'not too concerned' about the Saudi Pro League's meteoric rise - despite Al-Hilal offering a mammoth £259MILLION bid for Kylian Mbappe

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters is 'not too concerned' for now about Saudi Arabia's ascendancy in football as he reasoned it takes time to become a dominant force.

Al-Hilal submitted a world-record £259million offer for PSG forward Kylian Mbappe, who has 12 months left on his current deal and has been given permission to speak to the Saudi club.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have already joined the country's Pro League while Liverpool have agreed a deal with Al-Ettifaq - managed by Steven Gerrard - to sell their captain Jordan Henderson.
