Patrick Juliard makes transfer claim on Newcastle United and West Ham target Franck Kessie

Newcastle United are traditionally one of the iconic clubs in the UK, but they have fallen from their glory days in the past decades.

However, the Magpies could rise again and become one of the heavyweight clubs in the country, if the proposed takeover goes through.

The Saudi investors are expected to pump in loads of money – a report claimed that they could invest around £200m in the transfer market, which is a ridiculous amount given the present economic climate – to make Newcastle a strong team.

According to French journalist, Patrick Juliard, AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie could land up at either Newcastle or West Ham United.
