talkSPORT: Saudi boxing director Turki Alashhe intends to acquire England s team

According to talkSPORT, Saudi boxing director Turki Alashh intends to acquire England's team.

It is reported that Alashhe intends to acquire Southampton and Millwall. Despite recent reports that he has a strong interest in investing in English football and has held talks with Millwall, the South London club quickly denied the news, insisting that the club does not intend to sell and has no discussions.

However, talkSPORT host Simon Jordan confirmed that Arashh's interest does exist. Previously, he revealed that the 43-year-old businessman has been looking for opportunities to enter the English football market. This time, the former Crystal Palace boss also brought more news, saying that Southampton, who was recently relegated, is also another Championship team the billionaire is interested in.

On talkSPORT's show, when asked if Alashhe was really interested in Mirwall, Jordan replied: "It's not a rumor, they're really interested because they told me. I tried to persuade him to give up Mirwall because I don't think it's a suitable football club, but that's another topic. However, he's really interested in Mirwall and Southampton. I suggest he consider Sheffield Wednesday, but he doesn't want to buy a club in the north, he wants a club in the south. Mirwall and Southampton are two options he thinks are interesting. It's not me leaking secrets, it's him who asked me to say that."

It's understood that Alashhe is no stranger to football investment, he once owned the Spanish team Almeria and sold it to a Saudi investment group on May 16. According to talkSPORT, since the announcement, several English clubs have expressed their intentions to Alashheh. No matter which club he chooses to invest in the end, it will greatly change the fate of the club. As chairman of the Saudi Arabian Entertainment General Administration, Alashh has invested millions of pounds to host high-standard sports events in the motherland, with his personal wealth estimated to be 2.14 billion pounds.
