Newcastle Takeover: Bin Zayed Group's Proposed Deal Could Be Completed Before 'End of Month'

The much-anticipated takeover of Newcastle United is still 'alive and well' as Magpies fans eagerly await a successful outcome.

It has been weeks now since news first broke that Mike Ashley had agreed to sell Newcastle to the Dubai-based company, headed by Sheikh Khaled, with reports going somewhat cold after an initial flurry of stories.

However, SunSport claims that talks are 'progressing well' and it is hoped that the reigns can finally be fully handed over by the end of the month.

The group have previously stated that they have already submitted proof of funds to the Premier League and despite no comment having yet been given by either the league or Mike Ashley and the club, it looks as though it is now a case of playing the waiting game.
