Well that escalated quickly...

Aston Villa have confirmed that NSWE, a company jointly owned and controlled by businessman Nassef Sawiris’ group NNS and businessman Wes Edens have agreed to invest in the club in a move that will see Dr Tony Xia operate as joint Chairman of the club.

Sawiri is worth £6.6bn - richest Egyptian in the world and Wes Edens is worth £2.2bn. Look forward to Xia leaving completely in due course.
