BILLIONAIRE BACKER FOR POMPEY

Tagged in &

Premier League club Portsmouth are set to install Alexandre Gaydamak as an equal partner to chairman Milan Mandaric.

The 33-year-old is the son of Rusian-Israeli billionaire Arcady Gaydamak, and will be subject to the Football Association's usual 'fit and proper person test' for new investors.

The club could benefit by up to £100million if the deal goes through.

Arcady Gaydamak is already owner of Israeli side Beitar Jerusalem.

He is involved in industrial enterprises in Russia and owns a bank and brokerage company.
