Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan says the club are now aiming to be "number one" after their transformation from relegation strugglers to Champions League participants.

The Magpies finished fourth in the Premier League and reached the Carabao Cup final last season, just over a year they had been battling to get out of the bottom three.
