Will Newcastle really sign players from the Saudi League?

Eddie Howe has questioned why all the focus seemed to be on Newcastle, following the Premier Leagues effort to block ‘related-party loans’…

So are they actually going to sign Ruben Neves in January? Or anyone else from the Saudi Pro League for that matter?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic’s David Ornstein, plus Jacob Whitehead & Chris Waugh.
