NEWCASTLE UNITED IS TURNING OUT TO BE THE SURPRISE PACKAGE OF THE SEASON

It is no more news that the English Outfit is one of the richest club in the world after the takeover of the club by Saudi Owners from Mike Ashley last year, and following the takeover several high profile players were rumoured to be on the wish list of the Club, but majority of them declined to move for various reasons.

During the recent summer transfer window, they were able to complete the signing of swedish striker Alexander Isak from Spanish side Real Sociedad for a reported fee of £63 million pounds and other relatively average players, while English Right back Kieran Trippier had earlier joined from madrid giants Atletico Madrid for £12 million pounds in the winter transfer window.

It is worthy to note, that while Isak's performances has been hampered because he has not been lucky with injuries, Kieran Trippier has been performing as expected, and their Manager Eddy Howe who has had to work with the players at his disposal has been able to bring out the best in them.

Interestingly, majority of the players in the newcastle squad apart from Trippier and Isak, who are relatively average and unknown players have so far been performing brilliantly beyond expectation this season, while the job being done by Eddy Howe their manager has been commendable.

Finally, the fact that they are grinding out good results week in week out this season with these relatively unknown players is quite baffling and surprising, but the efforts of their players and manager will obviously go a long way in their quest to be among the best elites of european club football.
