Adjust font size:
The premier League will take action against allegations of corruption according to agent Mel Stein.
An extra two months was granted to Lord Stevens for his Quest team to continue their investigation.
The former Metropolitan Police commissioner looked into all 362 transfers that occurred in the Premier League between January 1, 2004 and January 31, 2006.
In the extended period he will probe the 39 which he believes merit further analysis.
Stein denies the allegation that corruption is "rife" in football and believes most of the clubs will be cleared.
"I would be very shocked if he (Stevens) said there were 10 (guilty) clubs," Stein told Sky News. "I wouldn't be shocked if he said there are one or two, maybe even three or four who have entered into a transaction that is open to a more close inspection."
