Sheffield United owner Prince Abdullah says he is hopeful of selling the club before the end of the season.

The Saudi is confident they can find the right buyer.

He told the Sheffield Star: "Now we have signed with a financial institution, a very good one, to represent us in any sale. They, of course, made their own due diligence and they came up with a price range which is we agreed to, it's an educated price rage so I don't think that's a problem. We just signed with them a few weeks ago and they will start in January.

"We will find out in the next few months unless of course something happens and there is a chance we could reach an agreement with one of the people we have been talking to.

"But I think it's safe to say if anything will happen it will happen in the next few months."
