Burnley’s potential owner ALK Capital is hoping to complete his takeover of the club in time to give manager Sean Dyche a chance to bolster his squad during the January transfer window.
ALK – led by American businessman Alan Pace – is pursuing its takeover ambitions alongside a separate deal involving Cheshire lawyer Chris Farnell and Egyptian businessman Mohamed El Kashashy.
The Premier League has yet to decide on either offer, but the ALK believe they are in pole position.
And, while no resolution is expected until Christmas, the U.S. sports investment firm is hoping the deal will be done early enough in January to help Dyche in Burnley’s battle against relegation.
Burnley has been seriously weakened since last summer due to a combination of releasing players out of contract and not replacing them.
The club fell back into the relegation zone after Fulham’s draw against Brighton on Wednesday, but they have two matches on the table and will come out of the last three if they avoid the loss to Aston Villa on Thursday (18:00 GMT).
