Derby County are to hold a press conference on Monday following reports that the club have been taken over by new American owners.
Rams chairman Adam Pearson has been searching for new investment since his appointment in October and it is thought that a takeover of the club has now been completed.
It has been reported that Derby have been negotiating with a sports management company which is heavily involved in a number of American sports.
A statement on Derby's official website said: "Derby County football club is to make a positive announcement on the club's future at a press conference to be held at Pride Park this coming Monday."
Derby could become the latest Premier League side to come under American ownership.
The Glazer family were the first Americans to take charge of a top-flight side after completing a takeover of Manchester United in 2005.
Liverpool owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks also hail from across the Atlantic, while Aston Villa are owned by American Randy Lerner.
