A large poster van displaying an image of the murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi will be prominent around St James' Park before Newcastle's first game under Saudi ownership on Sunday.

He said: 'I have enough other things to think about honestly.'

Among the issues for Nuno to solve is Harry Kane's poor form. 'We are relaxed. We know Harry is more than goals,' he said.
