Louis Saha believes Newcastle United can challenge for the Premier League title next season, but says that's the case for five or six clubs.
An excellent season sees Eddie Howe's side just one win away from securing a top-four finish and a Champions League place next term. It's been an incredible rise after finishing 11th last season, with the takeover allowing for a new direction for the club.
But few predicted the Magpies would rise so quickly up the table to be finishing in the top four this term, and now most are warning that next season could be more difficult as their squad is more stretched as it battles on two fronts. But former Newcastle striker Saha has broken that trend, instead topping Newcastle to strengthen in the summer transfer window and continue to battle at the top end of the division - claiming they can be one of five or six clubs competing to win the Premier League title.
