Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke says Saudi Arabian football can be positive partners for the Premier League.
Kroenke doesn't believe the Saudi Pro League is a threat to England's biggest clubs.
The American billionaire was speaking at a CNBC event, "I've had Middle Eastern people of prominence involved in teams ask me, and I like them by the way, they're great guys.
"Manchester City are great people but they just do things differently because they have a whole lot of money and they've asked me, 'do you think we could ever run our leagues over here like you do in the US?'
"They think about it, that's an outlier, I understand that [Kylian] Mbappe is not wanting to do that, I doubt that he will."
PSG star Mbappe has been tabled a massive contract offer by Al-Hilal this summer.
On the Saudis, Kroenke continued: "Maybe I should be concerned but I'm not terribly concerned by it.
"I've been around in these leagues so long. It's not as easy as you think. It's hard.
"They can actually help, there's a lot of ways they can help. I'm sure in other business, the guys at NBC and Sky would say, 'how do we stop the pirating in the Middle East? Those signals, we ought to be paid for it, right?' There's a tonne of that that's going on. If they had an interest, they would get very interested now, that would probably help us out."
