Newcastle 'eye up bid for £60m Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha' as part of major squad overhaul if £300m Saudi Arabia takeover goes through

With the imminent takeover at Newcastle, the Magpies have made Wilfried Zaha a primary transfer target, according to The Sun.

Should the Premier league approve the £300million buyout, Newcastle will be able to afford Zaha’s £60million price tag with the inordinate amount of wealth accessible through the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which is worth a reported £320billion.

The Ivory Coast forward had been seeking a move since January as he is in pursuit of Champions League football. The 27-year-old has reportedly appointed super-agent Pini Zahavi to broker a transfer.
