Dr Tony Xia will meet with Premier League and Football League officials on Monday to complete his takeover at Aston Villa .

The £75million purchase is expected to be completed by Wednesday after Xia received positive news over his future plans.

League chiefs are satisfied that he is ‘fit and proper’ to press on with his ambitious proposals and will hold a face-to-face interview In London before signing off the lengthy Owners and Directors’ Test.

Xia has been engaged day and night to prove he has the necessary funds to support his business plan and league officials have seen evidence of over £500m in his English-based bank accounts.

He will now leave his Beijing home over the weekend and head for the UK.

Departing chairman Steve Hollis is currently in Portugal for the Football League AGM and has played a part in getting the deal over the line.

He was also the man who officially hired new boss Roberto Di Matteo and his management team.
