Newcastle United can compete in the Champions League starting from next season.
That is the view of manager Eddie Howe, who spoke about the club's short and long-term ambitions.
Howe was asked if being in the top club competition next season may be too soon into his project, but he disagreed.
He stated to reporters: It would be dangerous for me to say that to anyone (it is too soon). We want to achieve whatever we can and push as hard as we can.
There is no part of us that is trying to keep anything down, that goes against my internal beliefs. We are going for everything. I never put a ceiling on what the team can deliver.
We're on a mission to try and win and to achieve and be the best we can be. I've sensed that from the players this season. There is a real inner determination, a steel that we are not here to waste time. We need that to unite us right to the end of the season."
