Eddie Howe is sure that the ‘huge ambition’ of Newcastle United’s Saudi Arabian owners will become reality after meeting chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan and members of the Public Investment Fund in Jeddah.
Little has been heard from the Saudi contingent - who own an 80-per-cent stake - since completion of the takeover in October.
But Al-Rumayyan has this week addressed Howe, co-owner Amanda Staveley and the squad during a social occasion as part of their training camp in the country.

‘There is huge ambition at the club,’ said Howe, whose January spending is set to top £70million with the arrival of Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes from Lyon.
