Newcastle set for Saudi Arabia training camp

Newcastle United will travel to Saudi Arabia for a mini training camp.

The Magpies jet out to the Middle Eastern country following their trip to Leeds United on January 22, per The Mirror.

Eddie Howe is taking his players to give them a chance to enjoy a warm-weather training camp.

The club, who recently purchased by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, also want to raise their profile in the country.

Newcastle have already made moves in the January transfer window, having added Chris Wood and Kieran Trippier.

Howe is also looking to add a centre-back to his squad, with a formal bid for Diego Carlos being lodged this week.
