Dutch Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem will have a new owner after Russian billionaire Alexander Tsjigirinski announced the takeover of the side.

Tsjigirinski bought the club from Georgian investor Merab Jordania, pills who revealed that he was happy to sell.

“When I bought the Vitesse shares I already stated that Alexander Tsjigirinski was supporting me and my plans with the club,” he said.

“Now Vitesse have made some necessary steps for a bright future I feel it was the right moment to move on the shares to him.

“I will be available for Vitesse and Alexander to advise them in the future.”
