Former Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez has praised his old side's new ownership and manager Eddie Howe for a successful transfer window after the Magpies' great start to the season.
Newcastle spent a club record fee on Swedish striker Alexander Isak in the summer, while also bringing in defenders Sven Botman and Matt Targett alongside goalkeeper Nick Pope who has been a standout performer this season.
The Spanish manager was in charge at St. James' Park from 2016 when the club were relegated to the Championship but earned promotion back to the English top-flight the very next season.
