Kia Joorabchian, the controversial football agent who brought Argentine striker
Carlos Tevez to the Premiership, has expressed a desire to buy a top-flight
English club.

The Iranian businessman was linked with a takeover of West Ham last summer,
to whom he originally sold Tevez, before the London outfit were bought by an
Icelandic consortium headed by Eggert Magnusson.

He stated: ‘If the right club with the right investment opportunity comes up,
we’ll look at it. We’re still interested in having a Premier League club, but
it’s not for the very near future.

‘I still haven’t mind up my mind up and I don’t think anyone really knows
when, or if, that would happen.’
