Al Fahim's advisor Ivo Ilic Gabara told the Portsmouth News: "Due diligence has been completed. We are now making a final commercial assessment with information obtained through the due diligence process."

"We have never said the entire deal would be completed in July. We said all along we expected due diligence to be completed in such a time frame - now that has happened.

"But both parties want it completed as soon as possible to proceed in a good manner."

Pompey are hopeful the proposed deal will be rubber-stamped well ahead of the start of the new Barclays Premier League campaign in mid-August.
