The owners of Paris St-Germain are investigating the possibility of buying an English club.

Qatar Sports Investments has owned PSG since 2011 and has built the French champions into one of the biggest and most powerful clubs in the world.

PSG dominate the French league, and are on course for a sixth title since QSI bought them. Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have been signed for world- record fees.

The company is chaired by Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who is also PSG’s president. It is exploring whether it makes sense to buy a club in England to expand its portfolio and challenge in another big league.

The most likely scenario is understood to be to purchase a Championship club with potential and a significant fan base. Reports in France have suggested Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest or Queens Park Rangers are possible targets.
