Aston Villa have resolved their immediate financial crisis and will settle their £4million tax bill.
The club have paid £500,000 to HMRC and are expected to pay a further £1.2million by the end of the week, it is understood.
The outstanding amount is likely to be paid swiftly after the club missed a tax payment on Friday, heightening growing fears of financial issues with Villa needing to find around £40million to comply with Financial Fair Play.
Chief executive Keith Wyness was suspended on Tuesday amid reports he had fallen out with owner Tony Xia.
