Newcastle United director Jamie Reuben has been linked with a move to buy Chelsea on a personal basis, according to widespread reports. The initial story emerged from Bloomberg that the former Queens Park Rangers board member was keen to spearhead a purchase of the Blues following Roman Abramovich's decision to sell up.
The Reuben family currently have a 10% stake in Newcastle but brothers David and Simon are worth £5.3billion each. Day to day business has been left to Jamie as part of the club's board but any attempt to buy a different Premier League would require the family to relinquish their shares in United due to competition rules.
