Eddie Howe has vowed that no stone will be left unturned during Newcastle United's January recruitment drive.
The Newcastle boss and his players have been working from Jeddah on the training field but work continues behind the scenes on deals such as Diego Carlos and Jesse Lingard.
For Howe, the sunshine trip to the Middle East is very much classed as a business venture rather than a jolly and he hopes to be leaving Saudi Arabia on Saturday with his squad bolstered.
