Newcastle United owners PIF are still committed to investing in a new training ground in the medium to long-term after their purchase of the Magpies in 2021.

When asked about whether a training ground move was still on the cards, CEO Darren Eales told Chronicle Live: "We have been transparent since the takeover.
