DAZN have become a powerful player in sport in recent years, so it would not be a surprise if they were to get involved in broadcasting football in the UK at some point.
They were founded in London in 2015, were estimated to be worth £3billion just three years later and have their fingers in numerous pies.
DAZN cover competitions in 31 different sports, and broadcast them to countries including Italy, Japan, Spain and the USA (but not yet the UK).
