BeIN sports’ Senior Football Anchor and former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys has claimed that there is another bid on the table for Newcastle United.
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund are looking to complete a £300 million takeover of the Magpies, and the Premier League is currently carrying out its Owners and Directors test.
Given Saudi’s human rights records and links with pirating top-flight matches, Amnesty International and BeIN sports have both written to the Premier League to block PIF’s attempt to own Newcastle, with Keys telling owner Mike Ashley to reconsider accepting the proposal.
