Newcastle United have so far kept their powder dry in January as Premier League clubs around them spend at will. However, the Magpies' ownership are in the perfect place with just a matter days left in the winter window.
Any imminent incomings need the approval of the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, which owns 80 per cent of Newcastle, before they can be brought into the club and thankfully minority owners Amanda Staveley, Mehrdad Ghodoussi and CEO Darren Eales have all flown out to the Middle East with a matter of days remaining in the window.
Ghodoussi shared a snap with his 118,000 Twitter followers to show the trio at a racetrack in Riyadh with the caption: "Quick pitstop." The photograph got pulses race back on Tyneside, with many believing it was a positive sign for incoming business.
