What do we think?
The proposed takeover by Amanda Staveley’s Saudi-backed consortium is currently going through checks with the Premier League after a deposit was paid to Mike Ashley. If all goes well, then the Toon will soon have new owners.
Do Newcastle have any chance of signing any of these three?
Yes, if the takeover happens
No, even if the takeover happens
These links to Cavani, Koulibaly and Fekir all seem a bit premature, though, considering no announcement has been made yet regarding the sale.
However, if the Premier League do pass this proposed takeover, then we feel Toon fans can start to dream about potential signings, and judging by some of the replies, some of them already have.
