Global investment group Sportsbank will be bankrolled by Abu Dhabi and American money as they move to close a £230million deal to purchase a majority stake in Crystal Palace.
Mail Sport exclusively revealed last month that Sportsbank, who are being advised by high-profile football financier Keith Harris, are among the bidders for current co-owner John Textor’s 45 percent share in the Selhurst Park club.
And it can now be revealed that the London-based group is being financially powered by a wealthy United Arab Emirates’s family and major investment from North America. Both are providing equal levels of investment.
