Nikkei/FT land Amlin takeover scoop

It looks like the Nikkei's purchase of the Financial Times is working out well for both news outfits when it comes to landing M&A scoops.

The Japanese paper has just broken the story that FTSE 250-listed Lloyd's of London insurer Amlin is about to get taken over by Mitsui Sumitomo, and as a result the Pink' un is the the first to report the news over here in Blighty.

In case you missed it, here is the link:

The potential deal, however, comes just a couple of weeks after Amlin's chief executive said the company "is not for sale". Here are links to Telegraph and Reuters articles with the denial:

No wonder journalists are so cynical...
