The United States' influence over the English Premier League could grow further amid reports that Bill Foley, owner of the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights, is in talks to buy newly promoted Bournemouth.

The potential deal is worth around £150 million, according to The Guardian's Ed Aarons. If the takeover is completed, more than half of the Premier League's clubs will have minority or majority shareholders hailing from the States.

Bournemouth owner Maxim Demin, who was born in Russia but is a British citizen, reportedly started exclusive negotiations with Foley over a sale last week. Demin has been the sole shareholder at Bournemouth since 2019 after initially purchasing a 50% stake in 2011 when the club was in the third tier.
