Aston Villa to return to English owners

Aston Villa are set to return to English hands.

The Sunday People says Randy Lerner will sell Villa for £150 million.

American billionaire Lerner is in final discussions with a UK-based group to off-load the Midlands club.

Talks have been on-going for several months, but it now appears set in stone that the club will change hands at the end of the season.

Lerner will see a return on the £63.6m he paid former Villa supremo Doug Ellis to assume control ten years ago - receiving a profit of over £85m.
