Eddie Howe has expressed Newcastle’s admiration for Ruben Neves, acknowledging him as a player they favored during his time at Wolves. While there have been speculations about a potential January loan bid for the Al-Hilal midfielder, recent developments indicate that Premier League clubs might vote to temporarily prohibit related-party loan deals. With the PIF majority owners of both Newcastle and the Saudi Pro League side, Howe refrained from providing specific insights into the potential move for Neves or the motives behind the rule changes. He emphasized the need to react to the evolving regulations and mentioned that the club is monitoring developments, leaving assessments to external observers.
Howe rarely divulges information on players from other clubs, so the fact that he affirmed our admiration could be telling. However, it will be meaningless if the Premier League vote on November 21st prevents us from making a January loan bid for the midfielder.
