Rich List For Premier League Club Owners Shows Where Newcastle Will Rank After Takeover

Newcastle will have the richest owner in the Premier League should Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman complete his sensational takeover.

The Mike Ashley era at the Magpies is reportedly coming to an end as the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia edges closer to an extraordinary £300m deal.

TalkSPORT has compiled a rich list featuring the wealthy owners of all 20 Premier League clubs, with the Saudi Arabia Crown Prince topping the list.

The publication claims that the Public Investment Fund's £260bn would skyrocket them ahead of Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour, who is second in the rankings with £23.3bn.

Chelsea's Roman Abramovich and Arsenal's Stan Kroenke ranked third and fourth respectively, while Wolves owner Guo Guangchang rounded off the top five.
