Amanda Staveley has revealed at least FIVE Premiership clubs are targets for Middle East takeovers.

Staveley, who put together the £210million purchase of Manchester City by Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is now working on bringing more Middle Eastern money to the Premier League and up to five clubs are being targeted.

With Everton, Newcastle, West Ham, Portsmouth and potentially Liverpool now in the market, Staveley, who was quoted in The Financial Times, is believed close to securing new money for two of those clubs.
