The Premier League remains in “active conversations” with the Football Association over how it can help women’s football but chief executive Richard Masters insists now is the wrong time to talk about a potential takeover of the Women’s Super League.

Masters said two summers ago the organisation would like to eventually run the top flight of women’s football, a notion which Ian Wright reiterated in the immediate aftermath of the Lionesses’ stunning Euro 2022 final win over Germany at Wembley on Sunday.
