Newcastle’s new owners are in attendance and the club is welcoming back Callum Wilson while Son Heung-min is included in Tottenham squad.
The new owners of
Newcastle Unitedwere present at St James’ Park for the first match of the PIF era against Spurs, who have included
Son Heung-min
in the starting line-up.
Mike Ashley’s 14 years of Newcastle ownership came to end and the new owners took over the club. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) bought 80% of the club, while Amanda Staveley's PCP Capital Partners and the Reuben brothers' RB Sports & Media took 10% each.
As PIF counted assets of at least $500billion, Newcastle will be able to compete for trophies from now on.
Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the new chairman, was also present in their first Premier League clash of the 2021-22 season.
Wilson
is part of the starting lineup for Newcastle now after dealing with his thigh injury, whereas
Tottenhamwere given a boost as they called on Son to play alongside Harry Kane.

"After further analysis following Premier League protocol, two players – whose names will not be disclosed due to medical confidentiality – returned false positive tests for COVID-19 on Friday after returning from international duty."
