Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has taken aim at Newcastle United after their Saudi-led takeover made them the richest team on the planet - claiming that the Magpies could soon 'buy the league' and 'guarantee spot in the Champions League'.
Newcastle ended a miserable 12-year reign under Mike Ashley last week as their £300m acquisition from the Public Investment Fund was finally pushed through, leading to wild celebrations from supporters outside St James' Park.
The club have now been tipped to sign a host of top players and eventually challenge for honours under their new owners, leading to fears from a number of elite Premier League clubs, including Tottenham, Manchester United and Everton.
