"Sarbjot, through his company Sarb Capital, has recently purchased equity in the club, injecting more than useful income into us," Howse revealed via the BBC.

"I am, along with Sarbjot, keen that the process should now move on at pace to come to a positive conclusion," he added.

Who is Sarbjot Johal?

The Guardian reports that Johal is listed as the chairman of Sarb Capital, a private equity firm.

The youngster is further recorded as a director of Vitanic Limited, a company incorporated as Vitanic Group in May 2019.
