Newcastle's new Saudi owners will look to make a BIG statement in their first transfer window... Roman Abramovich splashed £111m on THIRTEEN signings when he bought Chelsea, while Man City spent £46m on four players after Abu Dhabi takeover

Newcastle's new owners have only been in charge of the club for a matter of days but there is no doubt they will want to make a statement in just over two months' time when the January transfer window opens.

With their new-found riches, the Magpies will be looking to invest heavily into a squad that has underperformed under their much-maligned manager Steve Bruce.

This wouldn't be the first time that a club's new owners have made such a statement in the Premier League as Sportsmail takes a look at the transfer activity of billionaire-backed Chelsea and Manchester City in their first window under such ownership.
