THE fiancee of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi has pleaded with Newcastle fans to fight against the Saudi takeover.
SunSport exclusively revealed at least 10 clubs in the Premier League are concerned about the £300million deal.
Hatice Cengiz does not think Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman should be in charge of Newcastle
Saudi Arabian ruler Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman is a driving force behind the deal to buy out Mike Ashley.
Widow Hatice Cengiz has asked Newcastle fans to question whether the 34-year-old is the right man to be in charge.
She claimed the Crown Prince was behind the murder of her partner in Turkey in 2018.
Journalist Khashoggi – who was a high-profile critic of the Saudi chief – was killed after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
In her letter to the fans, Cengiz said: “I write to you at a crucial time in the history of the famous football club.
“Crown Prince Moammed bin Salman, the absolute ruler of Saudi Arabia, is aiming to take over your club by offering a huge sum of money.
“I know that many of you are tempted by his offer to get out of the dire situation that has crippled your club for so many years.
“But the Crown Prince is accused of ordering Jamal’s murder.
“All credible investigations have shown his responsibility.
“He has not been put on trial in his own country as he controls it with an iron fist.
“My plea to you is to think whether accepting Mohammed bin Salman’s offer is really the right way out of the despair for your club and City.”
