Newcastle United's new chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan will be at St James' Park today for their clash with Tottenham.
Al-Rummayan is governor of the Public Investment Fund, Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, which now owns 80 per cent of the club.
It is understood he will not be a regular visitor to the North East but will be present for the symbolic occasion on Tyneside, says The Sun.
Al-Rummayan is one of the most powerful men in Saudi Arabia, also holding the post of chairman of Saudi Aramco, the country's oil and natural gas company which is one of the biggest firms in the world by revenue.
Al-Rumayyan was Newcastle's chairman following the £300m takeover last week.
