The fiancee of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi has asked the Premier League to prevent the Saudi Arabian takeover of Newcastle United because of the crimes committed against her late husband.
With a consortium from the gulf nation edging closer to purchasing the Premier League club in a £300 million deal , Hatice Cengiz - via her solicitors - sent a letter to the competition's governing body asking that it takes the 'right, proper and lawful action' to stop the takeover because of the alleged 'cover-up' regarding Khashoggi's death in 2018.
Saudi-born journalist Khashoggi was allegedly murdered inside Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul, Turkey after going into the government office to pick up documents pertaining to his future marriage with Cengiz.
