Newcastle co-owner Jamie Reuben eyeing up bid for Chelsea | OneFootball

Jamie Reuben is eyeing up a bid for Chelsea.

Bloomberg reports Reuben is considering a Chelsea takeover bid - despite his family owning ten per cent of Newcastle.

The Blues are up for sale following Roman Abramovich's shock decision to sell amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Reuben - son of property investor David - wants to make an offer on a 'personal basis'.

That is understood to include some of his family's wealth.

David and his brother Simon, who own Reuben Brothers and are worth around £5.3billion each, bought a ten per cent in Newcastle as part of the £300million consortium that took over the Toon last year.

Jamie labels himself as a co-owner of the club on his Twitter profile.

On top of that, he was appointed as a director of the St James' Park club - as revealed by Companies House records from October.

And that could lead to complications surrounding any attempt to buy Chelsea.
