Philadelphia 76ers owner Harris eyes off Crystal Palace

American billionaire Josh Harris is in takeover talks for Crystal Palace.

The Daily Mail says Palace are one of a number of clubs that Harris is understood to be looking in to purchasing as he looks to expand his sports portfolio.

Harris - worth more than £1.25billion according to the Forbes guide - also owns NBA franchise the Philadelphia '76ers and National Hockey League side the New Jersey Devils.

He would become the fifth American owner of both an English football club and a U.S. franchise but will have to persuade the club's owners to sell.

Palace were rescued from administration by four supporters comprising the consortium 'CPFC 2010' four-and-a-half years ago.

Co-chairman Steve Parish has made it clear that he would welcome significant new investment providing it is right for Palace's long-term future.
