Newcastle to target four elite players as Saudi Arabia spending taken to new level

Newcastle are set for another spending spree in the summer transfer window with four 'elite' players eyed by the club's Saudi Arabian owners.

The Magpies have already coughed up around £250million on new players since the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), PCP Capital Partners, and the Reuben Brothers took over in October 2021.

Bruno Guimaraes was the Magpies' most expensive buy in January 2022 when he made the £37m move from Lyon in an attempt to keep the club in the Premier League. Chris Wood, Kieran Trippier and Matt Targett were amongst the other arrivals who helped preserve Newcastle's top-flight status.
