A new buyer has been found for Yeovil Town FC.

The Chairman says the deal has taken a 'substantial period of time' but Scott Priestnall says he's confident the buyer has the best interests of the club at heart.

The statement was released less than an our before an online meeting for Yeovil fans to talk about the future of the club.

Announcing the news, a statement from the Chairman said: "In advance of the Glovers Trust meeting, I wish to announce that a deal has been agreed for the purchase of the club.

"This has taken a substantial period of time and a lot of work on all sides.

"I am confident that the Buyer has the best interests of the club at heart and will begin a new and exciting time for the club.

"I regret I have not been able to provide more regular updates, but these matters must take their course and are governed by various interim agreements.

"As always, I wish Yeovil Town Football Club all the best for the times ahead."

The Green and Whites were relegated down to the National League South last month and a planned takeover was previously called off.

We're expected to hear more details about the new buyer tomorrow.
