Chelsea star Magdalena Eriksson: "Will help many teams"

The Premier League has sales of around SEK 60 billion, a breathtaking sum. SEK 12 million is a large sum for the ladies.

"It is a great initiative of the Premier League, which we all know turns incredible amounts of money," Eriksson writes in a text message to SVT Sport.

WSL was discontinued in March due to corona pandemic. Unlike the Premier League, the league did not start over but Chelsea Ladies won the league after counting average points. Chelsea was then second with a match less played than Man City.

“This will help many of the teams in the league who have a tough financial situation. It feels safe to know that there are now financial muscles to create a safe environment for all teams and that the 20/21 season will be implemented in a good way. "

In the long term, the Premier League also wants to take over the operation of WSL.

"It is also exciting to hear that there are discussions that WSL will soon be taken over by the Premier League. It could be the nail in the coffin to ensure that England has the best league in the world even on the women's side, ”concludes Eriksson's text message.
