MOHAMED Al Fayed is edging closer to a deal that would bring his financial might behind Ross County Ross County can refer to:
  • Ross County, Ohio, a region in the United States
  • Ross County F.C., a Scottish Football League team
  • Ross-shire, a county in Scotland
.

The multi-millionaire owner of Fulham and Harrod's sent representatives north to Dingwall on Monday for a tour of the stadium and youth facilities.

The Al Fayed party also met with chairman Roy MacGregor and chief executive Alastair Kennedy to open talks on offering financial backing.

It is understood the Egyptian tycoon wants to learn more about the Second Division club before committing to any deal.

But in the strongest indication of Al Fayed's desire to help, sources say he now wishes to visit the club in person along with Fulham manager Lawrie Sanchez Lawrence Philip Sanchez (born October 22, 1959 in London, England) is a former Northern Irish football player who is the current manager of Fulham.

The son of an Ecuadorian father and a Northern Irish mother, Sanchez went to Presentation College, a private boys' school in
 later this summer.

Al Fayed, who has ploughed more than pounds 120m into Fulham, is said to be interested in supplying players and using County as a feeder club.
