Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is expected to complete the £300 million takeover of Newcastle United in the coming days, with many reports claiming it could finally happen next week.
Former Newcastle striker Michael Chopra, like the rest of the fans, is eagerly looking forward to the imminent departure of owner Mike Ashley, and he has taken to Twitter to claim that the club will be the richest in the world next week.
