Businessman Kia Joorabchian is reportedly preparing a £70million deal to buy newly promoted Premier League club West Ham.
Iranian-born Joorabchian, 33, who holds a British passport, is head of Media Sports Investment, which owns a large stake in Brazilian side Corinthians.
"I have had a meeting with West Ham and will seriously consider an offer," he told the UK's Daily Express newspaper.
It is believed he turned his attention to West Ham after abandoning a bid to buy Newcastle.
