Report: Newcastle United takeover completed with official announcement imminent

According to Eurosport France journalist Manu Lonjon, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund has completed their takeover of Newcastle United, with an official announcement imminent.

The Governor of the PIF Yasir Al Rumayyan will be the new chairman of the St. James’ Park club, and it’s safe to say Mike Ashley’s 13-year tenure as Magpies owner is all but over.
