Noel Gallagher has secured the rights to his own website from an Oasis fan in Spain, according to reports.

The Barcelona-based fan is understood to have bought the website noelgallagher.com ten years ago and wanted the guitarist to buy it from him.

But instead Gallagher flew the fan to the UK, where he put him up in a hotel in London and brokered a deal in person.

The fan will now receive some signed memorabilia and tickets to one of Gallagher's forthcoming solo shows, reports the Sun.

Gallagher is set to launch a solo career later this year with the release of his as-yet-untitled debut solo album.

Meanwhile, his brother Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye release their debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' in February.
