Former Newcastle United winger John Barnes has praised the way the club have operated since their takeover in October last year. The Magpies are now the richest football club in the world but are determined to progress steadily in their search for success.
Both in January and this summer, Newcastle have been linked to numerous high-profile players, but it is clear that is not the avenue they will look to go down. Two of their main targets this summer include Hugo Ekitike and Sven Botman, both of whom are young players with the potential to grow alongside the Newcastle project.
And speaking on Sky Sports, Barnes claimed that the ‘organic’ growth route which Newcastle are seemingly taking is the ‘right way to do it’ as they eventually look to become a force in both the Premier League and Europe.
