Yasir Al-Rumayyan became Newcastle United chairman in 2021

Head coach Eddie Howe says the desire of Newcastle United's owners to get to the top remains "unchanged" after meeting with them this week.

Chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), and minority owner Jamie Reuben are among those who have flown in for a two-day annual summit at Matfen Hall in Northumberland.

Although the PIF is to withdraw its multi-billion dollar backing of LIV Golf at the end of the season, senior figures at Newcastle were informed a couple of weeks ago that the pullout would not affect the club.

Newcastle are 14th place in the Premier League, but Howe stressed the "determination to succeed" came through from those above him in the meetings he attended on Thursday.
