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.
