Amanda Staveley joins Toon squad in Saudi as club release video footage from Riyadh

Newcastle United have touched down in Riyadh ahead of a week-long warm weather training camp in Saudi Arabia.

The club’s media team has released footage from our trip to the Middle East, showing the likes of Amanda Staveley, Mehrdad Ghodoussi and Eddie Howe on board the flight alongside our players.

Darren Eales can also be seen in the video (0:41), with our new CEO expected to discuss potential sponsorship options for the club after recently striking a deal with SAUDIA; the Saudi Airline giants who put on a chartered flight for the the squad on Sunday.

Howe’s men will take on Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal on Thursday 8th December, with us also due to face La Liga side Rayo Vallecano at St James’ Park on Saturday, 17th December.

Here’s the official footage released by the club’s Twitter page last night, followed by a short clip of Staveley gratefully receiving a welcome gift, along with the players and staff, upon our arrival:
