Indian billionaire Anil Ambani is convinced he can land West Ham United on the cheap.
The Sunday Mirror says the Indian tycoon, the sixth richest man in the world, was poised to make a £150million bid for the club.
But Ambani has instructed his financial advisers to delay making an immediate move.
He now believes he could snap up the Hammers for half that amount - and could wait until the New Year to make a move.
West Ham's majority shareholder, Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson, is in financial meltdown.
A source close to Ambani said: "He is in no immediate rush to make a move for West Ham given their present financial plight. As things stand he believes the club is overpriced and will eventually be forced to sell for a great deal less than the current asking price."
