Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore says that top-flight games will be on "extra high alert" this weekend following the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore has revealed that security will be tightened at top-flight games around the country this weekend following last Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris.

The Stade de France was one of six locations in the French capital targeted by terrorists, who killed 129 people.

Security was increased for Tuesday's international friendly between England and France at Wembley, while the match between Germany and the Netherlands was called off that same night after a suspicious suitcase was found close to the stadium in Hannover.

Representatives from all 20 Premier League clubs gathered for a meeting in London on Wednesday to discuss the risk of a terrorist attack.

"We've been on high alert at Premier League games for a considerable amount of time," the Daily Star quotes Scudamore as saying. "We're going to be on extra high alert this coming weekend, of course we are.

"Ultimately if somebody is absolutely hell-bent, and that is really the word in terms of making something terrible happen, you can't entirely rule it out and you can't entirely stop it."

Ten Premier League games will be played between Saturday and Monday.
