The Premier League has confirmed it is investigating allegations of malpractice at Manchester City.
The news comes a day after European governing body UEFA announced it had opened a fresh investigation into claims the club breached its Financial Fair Play regulations.
The Premier League is looking into that matter, as well as other recent allegations concerning the recruitment of academy players and third-party ownership.
