Amnesty International has called on the Premier League to tighten its rules for buying clubs.


An international human rights NGO issued a statement amid news that PSG`s Qatari owners could pay Tottenham.


Amnesty International called such reports a wake-up call for the league, and also said that any Qatari investment in the club would be a whitewashing of reputation through sports.


Regardless of whether the reports of negotiations are confirmed and whether they actually lead to anything, this is another alarming signal for the English Premier League that we need to restore order when it comes to the owners of our clubs.


We said before, during and after the highly controversial purchase of Newcastle by Saudi Arabia that the Premier League needed to significantly tighten its club ownership rules to ensure that those involved in human rights abuses could not buy a club and enter English football and use it to whitewash its reputation.


As we know from the 2022 World Cup, Qatar is actively using sport to change its image on the international stage, and the possible participation of Qatar in the life of Tottenham should be considered in this context - as a potential whitening of its reputation.


As Qatari authorities bask in the glory of the best ever World Cup, there is a danger that limited reforms on migrant workers` rights will quickly fade away and the crackdown on LGBTQ+ people will go unnoticed as Qatar`s participation in sport helps it escapeclose attention to the dismal human rights record.


We are not categorically opposed to the continued involvement of state-linked overseas financial consortiums in English football, whether at Tottenham or elsewhere, but the Premier League must urgently update its club prediction by buy football tips acquisition rules to ensure they are consistent with human rights, rather than supporting an open invitation to character-whitening through sport, " said Amnesty International Economic Affairs Director Peter Frankenthal.
