Premier of Western Australia Mark McGowan says it may not be feasible for Premier League games to happen in Australia.

Reports in the English media suggested that Premier League clubs were looking at the nation as a possibility for hosting the remaining games of this season, specifically in the Western Australian city of Perth.

The COVID-19 outbreak is significantly controlled in Australia and New Zealand, but McGowan has denied he has been contacted about the plans.

"I haven't been formally contacted by the English Premier League. They haven't contacted my office, they haven't contacted me," the Premier of Western Australia Mark McGowan said.

"We do have hard international borders to stop people coming in who aren't Australian. So, I'll look forward to any contact if they want to provide it to us, but I think there's a lot of obstacles in the way.

"Britain has very, very high rates of COVID-19 and they have had a lot of people die. You don't necessarily want to risk these things.

"As I said we'll have a look if any submission comes forward but I think it's a very, very big ask for that to happen here."
