Eddie Howe has revealed that Newcastle United players and staff were left 'very impressed' following an 'inspirational' speech from Magpies' chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan in Jeddah.
The first-team set-up have visited Saudi Arabia for the first time since the club's takeover was finally completed back in October as part of a warm-weather training camp.
Howe has worked his players hard in the heat but the squad have also had the chance to take part in a series of team-bonding exercises, including go-karting and camel riding.
