Matt Ritchie believes Newcastle United can become the biggest club in England amid Howe praise

Matt Ritchie believes the "sky's the limit" for Newcastle United after the PIF takeover at St. James' Park. The Magpies became the richest club in world football and the new owners outlined their ambition to take the club back into Europe and challenge for the Premier League title.

The Magpies midfielder claims the club can become one of the "biggest clubs in England again" but says expectations need to be managed. Ritchie relayed the message from Eddie Howe, to not put limits on themselves.

Newcastle mathematically secured their place in the Premier League with two games to spare, an incredible achievement for a side who had not won a game in their opening 14 fixtures. There's plenty of hope among supporters ahead of the summer transfer window and the Magpies new found wealth opens up new avenues for signings.
