(Reuters) - Former England defender Gary Neville believes Roman Abramovich and other foreign owners have been good for the Premier League, saying the English top flight has become more competitive as a result.

Russian businessman Abramovich said on Wednesday he would sell Chelsea Football Club, 19 years after buying the team, amid growing calls for the 55-year-old to be hit by sanctions after Russia's invasion of its neighbour Ukraine.

Neville said the"alleged links between Abramovich and Putin", which the Chelsea owner has denied, caused problems for the club but should not lead to Abramovich being kicked out of English football."He has been an owner of Chelsea now for 20 years and from my point of view I have spoken openly about how I have welcomed the challenge to the historical elite, which was Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Neville also believes the idea of a European Super League - which spectacularly failed to get off the ground last April - will make a comeback among English clubs unless the game has an independent regulator.
