Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is reportedly interested in investing in a Premier League club and has held talks with Tottenham Hotspur's Daniel Levy.

Paris Saint-Germain's Qatari owners are reportedly interested in investing in a Premier League club and have held talks with Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who serves as the chairman of Qatar Sports Investments and beIN Media Group, became president of PSG in October 2011 and has overseen a major transformation in the club's fortunes since.

Now recognised as one of the globe's sporting financial superpowers, PSG have won eight Ligue 1 titles since Al-Khelaifi's takeover, as well as reaching the 2020 Champions League final.

According to Sky Sports News, Al-Khelaifi is now interested in investing into an English top-flight club, and the PSG chief has already met with his Spurs counterpart Levy.

The report states that the duo spoke at a London hotel last week, with Al-Khelaifi serving as president of the European Club Association, while Levy sits on the executive board.

Levy replaced Alan Sugar at the Tottenham helm in 2001 and is the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League, but a large portion of Lilywhites fans have been voicing their opposition to the 60-year-old in recent times.

As well as PSG, Qatar Sports Investments also own a minority stake in Braga but are understood to be seeking out more opportunities in clubs during the current calendar year.

Al-Khelaifi is not thought to be limiting his options to clubs in England, but the PSG president is defying expectations that QSI would step away from investments following the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Manchester United and Liverpool's owners have both indicated that they would be open to a sale in the coming months, and there is thought to be significant interest in the Red Devils in particular.

The Glazer Family have consistently come under fire from Man United fans, who have launched a series of protests against the Americans' ownership of the club since Malcolm Glazer gained full control in 2005.

A recent report claimed that a sale of Man United could happen "very soon", with tech giants Apple as well as Amazon thought to be interested in a multi-billion pound takeover.

Meanwhile, Liverpool owner John W Henry would welcome further investment or a full sale of the Anfield club, 12 years after Fenway Sports Group's £300m purchase.

Henry has also received criticism from fans for a perceived lack of investment in the transfer market, as well as Liverpool's attempts to join the doomed European Super League last year.

Last month, it was claimed that a joint Saudi-Qatari consortium were preparing a £3.2bn takeover bid for Liverpool, although there have been no concrete updates since.
