Newcastle United fans are hoping that Saul Niguez will announce them as his new club.

The Atletico Madrid midfielder posted on social media that he would announce his new club in the near future.

Whether that will actually be a move, or simply a sponsorship deal remains to be seen, but Newcastle supporters are hoping that it is the former.

With Newcastle’s new owners set to come in soon, they have already been linked with some high profile players.

And it seems that some Magpies supporters are now hoping that Saul could be the first signing under their prospective buyers.

If Saul was brought to Newcastle it would certainly be an eye-catching signing, but it seems a highly unlikely transfer at the moment.

Even if Newcastle do become one of the richest clubs in the world, landing Saul could be difficult.

The Aleti midfielder is considered one of the best players in Spain, and has a release clause of £125 million (AS Sport).
