Howe reveals key to keeping Newcastle's top players

Simply playing in the English Premier League, often considered highly attractive, is not enough to keep star players from leaving for other teams. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe understands this and has a clear solution to the problem.

Details: Howe openly stated that playing in the Champions League is the only way to convince players to stay at Newcastle. He believes his squad has the ability to secure a place in Europe's most prestigious competition.

Quote: "Success on the pitch is everything. Last year, we said we wanted European football in any form. But, of course, the Champions League is what everyone wants the most. We’ll do everything we can to have the best season we’re capable of. I see no reason why we can’t be very successful this year," Howe told Sky Sports.

Reminder: Howe previously discussed the impact of Financial Fair Play (FFP) on squad building, noting that even the strongest and wealthiest clubs cannot escape its constraints.
