The Saudi Arabia Football Federation (SAFF) have addressed concerns over tackling piracy, sending a letter to the Premier League insisting they will stand firm against any infringements. Newcastle are still waiting on a decision from the Premier League on whether the Saudi-led group can complete the takeover of the north-east club.

There was no mention of Newcastle or the prospective takeover from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, but it raised questions on whether the Premier League would allow the takeover to go ahead. JUST IN: Newcastle takeover could be complete this week
