Germany's Deutsche Bank has secured a lead role on 21st Century Fox's bid to buy up the entirety of London-listed pay-TV company Sky.

Rupert Murdoch's Fox has offered £10.75 per share for the 61% of Sky it doesn't already own, according to a December 15 statement, equivalent to £11.7 billion for those shares. That would value Sky at £18.5 billion.
