Worcester Warriors have confirmed they are close to agreeing a sale of the club as the Gallagher Premiership outfit continue to battle for survival.
On Tuesday, all of Worcester's players and staff were told a takeover — which would see current owners Colin Goldring and Jason Whittingham sell a majority share — was close to completion.
The final details of the deal with an unnamed buyer were being looked over by Worcester's lawyers on Tuesday night.
