Multi-millionaire Steve Parkin is set to complete a takeover of Leeds United.
The Mirror says Leeds are set to announce a £30million takeover.
Chairman and majority owner Massimo Cellino is in talks with potential buyers, and a deal with Parkin is imminent.
It is believed Parkin — a lifelong fan of the Yorkshire club — has sent in his lawyers to check the details before completing a deal to buy out the controversial Italian.
“Steve Parkin is a nice man, he loves Leeds," Cellino said. “If he wants to talk, he can talk to my lawyers.
“Many people call me. I tell them to speak to my lawyers. They have to pay a bond to see the papers and I don't allow them to come here to waste time.
“Due diligence would take 30 minutes, because Leeds is clean. The balance sheet is healthy.
“When I bought Leeds, first I paid, then I saw the papers. But now everything is good."
