Sven-Goran Eriksson claims the economic strength of the Barclays Premiership could be undermining England's chances of success in international football.

The former England manager claims it would benefit the national team if more senior internationals played in Spain's Primera Liga or Italy's Serie A. However each player called up for last month's friendly against Holland was England-based, and only David Beckham and Owen Hargreaves of Eriksson's World Cup squad play their club football abroad.

"There are only two English players playing outside England which means that the Premiership is economically very strong," Eriksson told TakeSport, free with the Evening Standard in London every Friday afternoon. "It is hard for a club to buy a player from the Premiership because it costs too much."
