LONDON (Reuters) - British online fashion retailer ASOS (LON:ASOS) is on the verge of a deal to buy Topshop and Miss Selfridge from the administrators of British tycoon Philip Green's Arcadia Group for almost 300 million pounds ($411 million), Sky News reported.
ASOS could announce a deal as early as Monday, Sky said.

ASOS and the administrators of Arcadia both declined to comment.
Meanwhile, British online fashion retailer Boohoo said on Friday it has entered exclusive talks with the administrators of Philip Green's collapsed Arcadia group over the purchase of the Dorothy Perkins, Wallis and Burton brands.
