Newcastle midfielder Jonjo Shelvey believes they will be up there with Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain in a few years.
The Magpies have enjoyed a renaissance in the second half of the season, since the appointment of manager Eddie Howe.
The move happened around the time of the club's takeover by a Saudi Arabia-led consortium, who replaced Steve Bruce with Howe to ensure the club avoided relegation.
"I love life here, Newcastle is a great place to live. I usually only do three years then move on, but I'm settled," Shelvey told Sky Sports.
"Let's not sugar coat it, we needed to be taken over. Everyone at the club is pulling in the one direction - the camaraderie around the place is something I've not seen before.
"I've never had a manager like this before. The first thing he did was hand everyone a sheet of paper to write down their wives' and kids' names, plus all our birthdays. He wants to know everything about everyone. I'm glad I'm his cup of tea and want to do everything to repay him.
"At some clubs you get the hump if you're not playing. Players can toss training off at times, but at Newcastle the ones not playing are in training the next day while the others recover - they're probably fitter than those who have played the previous day."
He added: "This club will be massive. I'm talking PSG and Man City massive.
"It'll take time, and it's a building process, but Newcastle can go to the top. We just all need to be patient. All I want is to be a part of the process."
