New Newcastle owner Staveley details plans to overhaul club and sign world-class players

Newcastle's new part-owner Amanda Staveley has promised the club will sign world-class players to fuel their fight for trophies.

Staveley's company, PCP Capital Partners, purchased a minority share of the Premier League side as part of the £300 million ($408m) takeover which saw the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund become majority shareholder this week.

The new owners have promised to invest heavily in the club and Staveley promises star players will be coming in.
