DUNDEE UNITED chairman Stephen Thompson has bid £2.5million to buy Australian football club Newcastle Jets.
Nathan Tinkler, the Jets owner, revealed to Fox Sports that a deal has almost been completed and he expected Thomson to take over in the near future.
"We've had an offer in for a couple of weeks from Dundee United, " he said. "That offer is well in excess of the debts of the club and I've asked the administrator to get that sale done and that will see everyone get paid. Then, I can move on."
