Eddie Hau: Going to Saudi Arabia for training is a football decision This week's transfer market frustrated us

According to previous reports, Newcastle will travel to Saudi Arabia to train after this week's match against Leeds United. According to the Independent, manager Eddie Howe said the training was a football decision.

Eddie Howe said: "It was a football-level decision and we did it for the benefit of the players, the team and for us to stay in the Premier League. ”

"The facilities and everything about this training session will be world class. We'll train hard and we'll prepare for the next game, so that's always my only focus. ”

Asked if he would be happy to meet with the team owner and whether that would distract him, Eddie Howe said: "My side will not be distracted. As I said, it's a trip about training and I want to make sure the players are focused on our next game. We just trained in a different environment to bring everyone together. ”

Previously, it was reported that the trip to Saudi Arabia was a public relations trip intended to support Saudi Arabia's human rights issues.

Meanwhile, Newcastle has set its sights on the transfer market, and they want to sign Diego Carlos and Jesse Lingard, but as of now Newcastle have not reached an agreement. Eddie Howe said: "For us, it's been a slightly frustrating week in the transfer market. We obviously know we're fighting relegation, we're working hard, everyone involved with the club is working hard to improve the team, working very hard behind the scenes. But this week has been fruitless for us. ”
