Dimitar Berbatov believes Newcastle United could attract an array of top class talent like Gareth Bale if they recruit Mauricio Pochettino as manager, as the Magpies look set for a mega-money takeover.
The Premier League club are nearing a change of ownership after a £300million bid by a Saudi Arabia-lead consortium was accepted by controversial owner Mike Ashley.
Should the deal go through, it would make Newcastle the richest top flight club by some distance, and could see the Tyneside outfit compete for the top prizes.
Speculation has heightened that current Newcastle boss Steve Bruce could make way for a more high-profile name, with Massimiliano Allegri linked, as well as PSG striker Edinson Cavani.
