Sean Longstaff insists the 'end goal' for Newcastle United's new owners has to be competing in the Champions League within the next decade. The academy graduate was asked about the Magpies's long-term ambitions almost a year on from the takeover which has transformed the club's expectations.
Eddie Howe led Newcastle to Premier League survival, and has been backed by more than £200 million in this year's transfer windows. The deal for Alexander Isak shattered the club's record, while stars such as Bruno Guimaraes and Kieran Trippier have made sensational starts to life at St James' Park.
Newcastle's form in the second-half of last season along with this sizeable investment has led many to question how far Howe's side can go this campaign. Longstaff is adamant the club's rebuild will not happen 'overnight', but is confident the owners' ambitions will see the club return to Europe's elite competition in the coming years.
