There is no plans from Aston Villa to sell to Arab investors.

The Daily Mail says the sighting of a Saudi prince and two compatriots at Aston Villa's training ground last week sparked speculation that owner Randy Lerner - who might sell if the price was right - had found a buyer.

But it has emerged the royal Saudi spends a lot of money on corporate entertaining at Villa Park and, as a result, had a special visit laid on to watch training.
