An 'exclusive video' has emerged on social media from North East reporter Craig Hope, showing Mike Ashley and Rafa Benitez arriving at an unknown restaurant for a meal - with them set for talks for the first time in five months.
It was reported earlier in the week that the NUFC owner would take Benitez and the squad out for Pizza in a bid to 'build relationships' and it looks like that 'dinner date' is taking place tonight.
Here's footage of the pair arriving for the meal tonight - with it believed to be at a restaurant in a Northumberland village:

As stated above, Rafa Benitez is seen smiling ahead of the meeting, with Ashley having invited all of his staff and playing squad.
Let's hope all goes well - although it looks like they've all missed out on happy hour!
