Former Chelsea FC and Premier League, Peter Kenyon, is leading a consortium which is in discussions to buy Newcastle United. Without referring directly to the consortium, Newcastle United’s owner, Mike Ashley, said talks to sell the club are at a "more progressed stage" than ever before. Other parties are also thought to be interested in the Manchester United CEO club. It would be a challenge for any deal to complete before the start of the January transfer window because of the required due diligence and regulatory checks.
