Eddie Howe praises Yasir Al-Rumayyan's unseen work at Newcastle United that will benefit Academy

Eddie Howe says that Newcastle United's Saudi-backed owners have put in some unseen work around the club that will benefit the Magpies in the future.

The one-year anniversary of the takeover passed with a pledge from Yasir Al-Rumayyan to keep on building United on the field, but Howe has revealed subtle touches that have aided the Academy and the Foundation.

United have spent £200million on players in 2022 but there is also a big desire to make the club's youth system one of the best in the land. And also increase work in the community in and around the city.

Howe said: "The club has made huge strides. I think the owners have been unbelievable for the football club I really do.

"I'd love to think they have got some big appointments right. Obviously I am one of them, and I can't say it is right because I can't say that about myself.

"But they have made some good appointments in key positions. And I think they have done it in a stable way, just trying to build the club.

"I think it's the right way. I fully respect them, they have a really good work ethic and they have the club at heart in every decision they make. They have also shown real love in lots of different areas. When you go to the Academy or the Foundation. There's a lot of time and energy gone in that isn't always seen so there's a lot of respect."
