Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has balked at a suggestion by Chelsea's new American owner that the Premier League could introduce an All-Star Game between the best players from the north and south.

Speaking at the SALT conference held in New York on Tuesday, Todd Boehly said he hoped the Premier League might "take a little bit of a lesson from American sports" and have an All-Star Game that would raise money for clubs lower down English soccer's pyramid.
