LIVERPOOL: Roy Hodgson will be handed transfer kittyif Kenny Huang is successful
Huang has opened talks with the Royal Bank of Scotland and Anfield officials over forcing out current owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks and wants an answer on his plans “in days rather than weeks”, according to sources close to him.
Club chairman Martin Broughton has had contact with Huang, who is being partnered by one of the biggest sovereign wealth funds in the Far East and being viewed as a bona fide bidder by club officials.
Huang, of Hong Kong-based investment company QSL Sports Ltd, approached the RBS about a deal, which is understood to be worth £350million. Gillett and Hicks have been seeking between £500m and £600m and Liverpool are believed to have other offers on the table. But a source close to the bid said: “He wants to get it done quickly so investment can come this year.”
Fernando Torres is among those voicing concerns over a recent lack of success.
