Sulaiman Al-Fahim: Stalled deal at Pompey.

The Arab property tycoon has spent nearly a month poring over Pompey's books, and reports on the south coast suggest that process is at an end.

Portsmouth paper The News claim Al Fahim's advisor, Ivo Ilic Gabara, has confirmed due diligence has finished as his takeover bid inches ever closer.

The Premier League last week started their fit-and-proper-person investigation into Al Fahim.

Pompey expect that process to take a week, although reports suggest it could take nearer a fortnight.
