Apollo Global Management LLC co-founder Josh Harris completed his purchase of Crystal Palace, ending more than a year of negotiations to acquire a controlling stake in the English Premier League football team.

Harris, who controls the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils along with Blackstone partner David Blitzer, becomes the latest person to own a major U.S. sports franchise and an EPL team. He, Blitzer, and Steve Parish, the current co-chairman and part owner, will control the club in a general partnership.
