Eddie Howe has warned Newcastle are “just starting” in their quest to become a Premier League giant again.
The Geordies are flying high in fourth place and face Aston Villa on Saturday, whose new boss Unai Emery turned down the Tyneside mission a year ago, before Howe was appointed.
Newcastle have Allan Saint-Maximin challenging for a comeback after injury to bolster their options, as they look to extend a seven-game unbeaten run. Howe says anyone who claims the revival is just about the money - and the £210m they have spent in 2022 - have got it wrong.
