NEWCASTLE boss Eddie Howe has refused to rule out bringing in players from Saudi Arabia.
The Gulf State’s Public Investment Fund own 80 per cent of Newcastle and have taken control of four Saudi Pro League clubs.
Prem stars N’Golo Kante, Ruben Neves and Roberto Firmino moved to the Middle East this summer, joining Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
And Newcastle’s chief Howe sees no reason not to trade with Saudi clubs.
He said: “That depends on if it is the right thing for Newcastle. We’ll always act with our best interests first.”
