The England legend said: “Pakistan’s football potential is huge and I am excited about identifying untapped talent in a nation of 220million

“I am looking to cross-promote and develop football between UK and Pakistan through the first-ever franchise model league.”

Premier League sides could benefit from the partnerships by potentially growing their brands and fanbases and also ‘plan to use the twinning to try to engage with their own local Asian community’ over here.

While the Pakistan clubs can use the training facilities of their partner, they will also have access to their knowledge and expertise.
