Media to be given more access to players in the Premier League

All the clubs in the Premier League have agreed to give TV channels more access to their players from next season.

Interviews will be taken when players will arrive at the stadium on match days as a measure to bring the fans closer to their idols.

The deal, worth £5.5bn, will see at least one player from a particular club appear for a two-hour interview every week.

Every match day, a manager and a player will conduct a brief interview and answer a few questions. There has also been a desire from rights holders to allow locker room access to the media.

As a part of the initiative, teams are also asked to improve Wi-Fi availability, upgrade press boxes, and improve other such facilities.
