Andre Agassi is attempting to put together a consortium to buy Bjorn Borg's five replica Wimbledon trophies.

Financially-strapped Swede Borg is planning to auction off the five trophies he won between 1976 and 1980 as well as two signed rackets he used.

The sale is due to go ahead on June 21 at Bonham's salerooms in London and the trophies and rackets are collectively expected to bring in between 200,000 and 300,000 pounds.

"I've discussed it with my own people to find a way of gathering the right group to buy those trophies," Agassi said.

"I think there's a lot of people who could step up to help for sure - Wimbledon being one and myself another."

In a statement, the 50-year-old Borg said he had decided to put the items up for auction because he and his family need long-term financial security.
