Former England captain and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has said that football is on a “precipice” financially and has expressed concern over the financial structure within the game.

Despite the financial struggles during the pandemic, Premier League clubs spent a total of £1.1bn in the summer transfer window, with a number of big-money moves involving the wealthiest sides.

Lineker, who played for Leicester, Everton, Barcelona and Spurs between 1979 and 1992, said that football had to “find a way” of filtering money down to lower league clubs.
