Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley has received significant international investment interest in recent weeks, including one party from China.

It is understood Ashley, who has reportedly tried to sell the north-east club twice in the past, is now considering all options open to him.

Back in 2015, Ashley insisted he would not sell the club unless they had won a trophy or qualified for the Champions League.

He told Sky Sports: "We are now definitely going to win something and, by the way, I shan't be selling until we do.

"[I won't be selling] at any price. And by the way, when I say win something, if we ever get in a position of a Champions League place, that counts as winning something."

NEWCASTLE TAKEOVER?

Could Newcastle's summer of transfer spending be affected by a club takeover?

According to Sky sources, there is significant takeover interest from a Chinese consortium and a number of international parties thinking about buying the club off current owner Mike Ashley.

He needs to go, a big club like Newcastle shouldn't be in our division or near relegation, a top club.
