Reading are set for new American investors just 10 days on from Rob Couhig’s long-awaited takeover, according to reports.
Couhig, along with business partner Todd Trosclair, officially took over last Wednesday after a nine month battle with Dai Yongge, which included a trip to court.
The Royals fans, so unused to positive news, are blown away with the early actions, with Lewis Wing extending his contract and season tickets flying off the shelves.
Speaking about bringing in extra investment from the off, Couhig appears to have found his man as outlets in America have linked Ross Kestin with joining the Board of Directors.
According to Bloomberg, Aliya Capital Partners, a Miami-based investment firm, is joining the ownership group.
A firm with a portfolio including the likes AirBnB, Uber and an unsuccessful takeover at Everton, the report states that Couhig has confirmed Aliya’s investment into the team when contacted and Kestin is quoted.
“Because with its 150-year legacy and fiercely loyal fans, Reading is a sleeping giant,” Kestin said. “We want to do what it takes to fuel its untapped potential to rise through the EFL and, one day, rise to Premier League glory.”
