Dominik Szoboszlai drops new 'big club' hint to give Newcastle hope after boss' spiky response

Dominik Szoboszlai has admitted that 'every kid' dreams of playing for a 'big club' after the Newcastle United target was again asked about his future.

Newcastle have kept a close eye on Szoboszlai, who has been directly involved in 22 goals in all competitions this season, as Eddie Howe looks to add at least 'one or two players that can make the difference'. The RB Leipzig attacking midfielder certainly fits that description and the 'elite' profile the Magpies are targeting this summer.

However, Howe has warned that Newcastle's summer budget is not as big as 'you want it to be' because of Financial Fair Play restrictions and the head coach admitted that rivals' ability to pay higher wages made it 'very difficult' to attract the 'very best players on the market'. It is important to stress, though, that Howe has never previously talked up Newcastle's spending power before the black-and-whites have made moves in the transfer market and the 45-year-old acknowledged that qualifying for the Champions League has 'given us a bit of a lift' financially.
