Newcastle United CEO Darren Eales has insisted that the Magpies are "always going to spend" as much as possible under Financial Fair Play restrictions. Following the club's takeover by a Saudi-led consortium in October 2021, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have faced fresh competition in the race for top-four.
It often takes a few years before new football club owners reap the fruits of their investment, but Eddie Howe has managed to secure a Champions League qualification place in his first full season in charge. While they proved to be no issue for the Gunners, the Blues and Spurs fell victim to Newcastle's meteoric rise in the top-flight.
But, unfortunately for Todd Boehly and Daniel Levy, the Magpies have lofty ambitions and Howe is looking to further bolster his squad for next season. According to the Chronicle Live, the 45-year-old held talks with higher-ups last week to discuss his summer budget.
