Ashley has been the owner of Newcastle United for the past 12 years and the club had been subject to previous but unsuccessful takeover attempts from the likes of Staveley and Kenyon.

At the just concluded Premier League season, Newcastle United finished as 12th best on the final standings with 49 points.

But the club's fans are desperate for success having not won a major trophy since the Fairs Cup in 1969.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how former Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is poised for stunning return to the Premier League with Newcastle United lining up a bid for the Italian.

Balotelli currently plays for French Ligue 1 side, Nice, but the club's top brass is understood to be ready to let the forward leave.
