"Son of Leicester City boss wants to buy OHL"

A delegation of Belgian First Division football club Oud-Heverlee Leuven (OHL) has been invited to the city of Leicester on Saturday, to discuss takeover plans by Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, the son of present Leicester City owner Vichai. That's according to Het Laatste Nieuws.
OHM just managed to avoid relegation to Second Division in recent weeks, and can keep their professional status.

Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha wants to acquire the Leuven club without delay, Het Laatste Nieuws claims, adding that the offer is worth a multiple amount of 2.5 million euros. This is the amount offered by Chinese investors earlier, but the Chinese plans seem to be in the doldrums, at least for the time being. By acting fast, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha could cut the Chinese short.

Aiyawatt would like to take to his father's footsteps, it is believed, and could do this on a smaller scale in the student city of Leuven, east of Brussels. OHL is said to be "studying" the plans. OHL were playing in the top flight last season, but were relegated in a dramatic turn at the end of the competition. This year, they just managed to retain their place in the First Division.
