PROSPECTIVE new Cherries owner Bill Foley has been pictured on his arrival to Vitality Stadium ahead of today’s clash with Leicester City.
The Daily Echo understands Foley’s deal to buy the Dorset outfit took another step closer to nearing completion today – with a purchase deal between him and current owner Maxim Demin now agreed.
The Athletic report the deal to be worth £120million, which will not be approved by the Premier League until the relevant documentation has been submitted.

Gary O’Neil’s side are currently five games unbeaten going into today’s clash with the Foxes (3pm kick-off).
