Newcastle defender Sven Botman: This really is a family club

Newcastle United defender Sven Botman is enjoying his time on Tyneside.

After a slow start, Botman is impressing for the high-flying Magpies.

He told Only the Best: "It is a very warm club, really a family.

"The new owner really surprises me, he is at the club very often. Every two weeks anyway. Then they come by, take the children and watch us. They think that its fantastic.

"Recently we were at a training camp in Saudi Arabia and we visited two other owners in their palace. That is bizarre.

"It really is a completely different world."
