Newcastle owner Mike Ashley believes he will soon be able to finalise the sale of the club for £300million.
As reported by The Sun, Ashley has informed the Saudi Arabian consortium, who are led by Amanda Staveley, to be prepared to complete a deal within a month.
Ashley has been involved in a lengthy legal battle with the Premier League and took them to the Competition Appeal Tribunal after the consortium pulled out of a deal last year.
Ashley has remained in contact with Staveley, with the hearing set to begin next Friday.
