A lot of Newcastle United fans have flocked to a post from Lee Ryder, which contains a link to an article on The Chronicle’s website relaying a new takeover claim.

Newcastle's all-time top Premier League goalscorer is Alan Shearer but how many goals did he score for the club?

According to The Sun, Mike Ashley has grown increasingly positive about the Toon’s proposed takeover by PCP Capital Partners, PIF and the Reuben brothers.

The deal was initially withdrawn nearly a year ago, but after Mike Ashley launched two legal challenges against the Premier League, a positive conclusion appears to be edging closer.

Apparently, people within St. James’ Park are confident of the deal going through, and Ashley has told Amanda Staveley to be ready to take over within a month.

Do you believe this report?

Yes, I am feeling good

The takeover process has been long, but if this report is to be believed, a conclusion is edging closer.

This post continued to draw in Toon fans who had their say.

I don’t believe anything, but yes hopefully something next month, until then we need sign in some quality players rather than players like King on free”

“Ye ye believe it when I see it

“Can only hope there is truth in this, but not holding my breath as usual.
