Premier League stars Kalvin Phillips, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Antonio Rudiger have been proposed as players to start the revolution in Newcastle.
The sensational £ 305 million acquisition backed by Saudi Arabia was finally completed after months of speculation, making the club one of the richest in the world.

Newcastle fans have celebrated the sale like crazy, and they will be even more delighted when they find out how much money Bin Salman likes to spend.
Fans are delighted, celebrating outside St. James Park as the torrid 14-year tenure of previous owner Mike Ashley ended.
The man behind the acquisition, Mohammed bin Salman, is said to be worth an estimated £ 320 billion, with fans already dreaming of a rise to the top of the Premier League similar to that of Manchester City.
Extraordinary names like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland have already made the rounds, but talkSPORT Drive hosts Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent have tried to name some more realistic signings.
Goldstein singled out Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse, who has seen his reputation grow since joining the England team, and may finally want to leave St. Mary’s with the Saints without a league win this season.
.
Ward-Prowse has made his way into England thanks to his excellent performances in Southampton, and now might be a good time to move in.
“Ward-Prowse is the type of player they could choose,” Goldstein said.
But Bent believes that first there must be a statement that says, “They will have to start somewhere and they will have to make a strong signature, when you have that amount of money, I don’t think it will.” to be the signature of the marquee.
“If they can get Ward-Prowse, these kinds of good Premier League players, then of course, but the first signing Newcastle fans will want to see will be a superstar like a [Lautaro] Martínez from Inter Milan ”.
Lautaro Martínez was linked to Arsenal and Tottenham during the summer while Inter were looking for money, could Newcastle offer enough?
Goldstein then suggested a few other English top flight names, including key men from Arsenal and Chelsea.
“I think [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang could be another player, ”he said. Rudiger wants what? $ 400,000 a week?
“And he’s free,” said Bent.
“Well, Chelsea are not going to pay that, perfect,” Goldstein replied.
.
Antonio Rudiger is asking for a big pay raise at Chelsea, and Newcastle could give him the money he wants.
The pair then talked about two midfielders who are impressing internationally and who may be interested in a new challenge.
“Kalvin Phillips, I know you said recently that you will never leave Leeds United, but what a great opportunity,” said Goldstein.
«I have also written [Thomas] Soucek, because I can’t see Declan Rice leaving West Ham [for Newcastle], I think he wants to stay in London.
