Crawley Town have announced that Ziya Eren’s purchase of the club should be formally completed today (Wednesday 9 March) after his takeover was approved by the Football League.
He’s been in negotiations to buy the League Two team since October.
Turkish businessman Eren recently said he hopes to take Crawley to the Championship within 10 years.
In a statement issued to BBC Sussex, Eren, who is also involved in football in Turkey, described Crawley as a club with “a long history” and “huge potential”.
Meanwhile, Luke Rooney has left The Reds after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.
The 28-year-old midfielder, whose deal was due to expire this summer, is set to join United Soccer League side Arizona United, where he recently had a trial.
