The Premier League and its clubs have been called upon to block the Saudi-backed takeover of Newcastle United by its overseas TV partner beIN Sports.

Newcastle are on the verge of being sold to a sovereign wealth fund - involving Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman - in a £300million-plus deal.

The Magpies could be in the hands of the consortium, involving financier Amanda Staveley in the next three weeks if the Premier League give their approval.
