Newcastle United midfielder’s season is continuing at the AFCON.
Forgotten Newcastle United star Henri Saivet has been busy starring at the African Nations Cup.
Saivet’s Senegal are into the quarter-finals after a win over Uganda.
Newcastle provided an update on Saivet to fans this morning.
And while Saivet’s efforts deserve respect, they were not what Newcastle fans were waiting to hear about.
Supporters remain in the dark over the club’s ongoing takeover, there is no manager, and no signings have been made.
Saivet spent last season on loan at Turkish side Bursaspor.

Here is a look at how Newcastle fans reacted on Twitter to the club’s announcement.
