Louis Saha has been talking about Newcastle United.
The former NUFC striker talking about the situation now for Eddie Howe and NUFC.
Louis Saha signed on loan from Metz in January 1999 and ended up playing 12 times, the highlight of his brief NUFC stay was a winner at Blackburn in an FA Cup fifth round replay on the way to Ruud Gullit taking Newcastle to Wembley.
Louis Saha of course later went on to play for both Manchester United and Everton, amongst others.
Now the former player has been looking ahead to next season and what could be possible for Newcastle United…
Louis Saha asked by 10bet – Do you think Newcastle United can challenge for the title next season?
“They can definitely challenge for the title next season. I think winning the League Cup, and getting Champions League money next season, it’s a huge step and it allows them to build further under Eddie Howe.
“I think they’ve done brilliantly with how they’ve managed their progress. They’ve already experienced Champions League football under Eddie Howe and they didn’t let it knock them off their stride too much, they continued to get better.
“They’ve had to manage some tough times, like Sandro Tonali’s ban, but both he and they came back really strong, and they’ve built an exciting team to watch.
“Not just that, they have some of the best fans in the world, so with two or three quality signings, they will be so much stronger. They need a few more players to cope with injuries and the physical demands of being in both competitions.”
