Shock new claim about TWO rival bidders for Newcastle United

Owner Mike Ashley has agreed to sell the club to a consortium led by Amanda Staveley.

The £300million deal is with the Premier League for approval.

However, Henry Winter, chief football writer at The Times, has claimed on Twitter that “two American groups are still interested” and that “both have the requisite funds”.

Joe DaGrosa, chief executive officer of Florida-based GACP Sports, has spoken about his failed bid for Newcastle.
