Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly edging closer to the Newcastle hotseat.
The Magpies are the subject of a £300million takeover bid backed by Saudi's Public Investment Fund, and if that is ratified the club would become one of the richest in Europe.
Pochettino has been linked with taking over at St James' Park and is leading the race to replace current boss Steve Bruce, according to Le10 Sport.
The 48-year-old was sacked by Spurs last November following a disappointing start to the 2019-20 campaign.
Just last week Pochettino said it's his 'dream' to return to the north London club in the future despite being dismissed last year as he admitted he is desperate to lift trophies and finish what he started.
