MANCHESTER (Reuters) - Premier League clubs have struck a new deal over sharing revenue from international broadcast deals which will see any future increases divided according to league position.

Currently all the revenue from international deals is shared equally among the 20 clubs but the bigger clubs had been pushing for a greater share of the money, arguing they are the main attraction for foreign viewers.
