The billionaire brothers of Asda are in prime position to buy pharmacy Boots after other major bidders dropped out.
Boots has around 2,200 stores in the UK, employing more than 50,000 people, and reports suggest a takeover could be worth as much as £10billion.
Boots is owned by US-based company Walgreens Boots Alliance, which unveiled a 'strategic review' of the pharmacy chain in January.
