Former Watford owner Laurence Bassini expects his proposed takeover of Championship side Birmingham to go through within the next week.
The controversial London-based businessman claims the takeover will cost £35million - just £10m of which he says will be his own money.
Speaking in a revealing interview on national radio station talkSPORT , Bassini also says former Blues' owner and current co-chair of West Ham David Sullivan has provided some of the funds. The largest shareholder at Far East-owned Brum, Vong Pech, earlier this week agreed to sell his 21.64 per cent stake in the club - although it remains unclear as to the identity of the buyer.
