The Bin Zayed Group's takeover plans for Newcastle United remain on track, it has been claimed.

The Sun says their £350million takeover of Newcastle is still progressing well.

The group claim they have already provided proof of funding to the Premier League and have reassured desperate Newcastle fans their purchase is going ahead.

While there has been no comment from the Magpies or Premier League, it's suggested the deal is moving forward.

It is a lengthy process but it is hoped the takeover can be completed before the end of the month.

The takeover will play a huge part in Rafa Benitez's future at the club.

Benitez, 59, is out of contract at the end of June but Bin Zayed Group want to keep him as manager.

They will provide him with much-needed funds to strengthen his squad this summer.
