Eurosport in France report that Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed al Nahyan's proposed purchase of Newcastle United is advancing & that interviews with Sporting Director candidates are ongoing - full story. https://bit.ly/SDSheikh 

Appreciate that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been more credibly linked with a takeover of Newcastle United in recent weeks, but al Nahyan's name is the one mentioned by Eurosport. Seeking clarification from them now.

Eurosport in France have now rectified their report to exclude either individual's name, but maintain that Newcastle United have furloughed their existing recruitment team & that several Sporting Directors are being interviewed for a position as a result of a possible takeover.
