cc-whispergossip

Following a dive in its share value, Aviva could be exposed to a takeover bid from rival insurer Zurich, reports suggest.

According to a report in the Express, the Swiss insurer could be poised to make a giant £12.5bn bid for the company.

The newspaper claimed that as Aviva’s shares fell by 5¼p to 301¾p, rumours started circulating the market that Zurich was lining up a bid of 440p a share.
