George Gillett, who already owns a popular Canadian ice-hockey team, is now strong favourite to buy Liverpool FC.

 

His move to the front of the pack comes after Dubai International Capital, the investment arm of the Dubai royal family, ditched its takeover plan over inflated cost.

 

As City AM reports, the DIC chairman Sameer Al Ansari said: �We are very disappointed to be making this announcement. However, we will not overpay for assets.�

 

Gillett has now reportedly stepped in with a very strong new bid for the club, who are hoping to build a new �200million stadium in the near future.

 

Liverpool FC are currently battling Chelsea for the Premiership�s second spot.
