Berbatov sees Pochettino and Bale at Newcastle

Newacastle can be the animator of the Premier League market in 2020. Their possible acquisition by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) means that they have money to strengthen the squad.

One of the names linked with the Magpies is Mauricio Pochettino. "If the rumours are true and Newcastle want to hire Pochettino it will be a big move," said Berbatov, Betfair ambassador.

"Putting Pochettino in charge is the way to show the players you want this to be serious. When you talk to them they will pay attention to you and take the offer more seriously, I am talking about great players too," added the Bulgarian.

One of these players is at Real Madrid. "I know that Gareth Bale is among those who have been linked to the club. I'm sure Newcastle want to rebuild the team with big names," he said.

However, all this is precisely because of the arrival of the Argentinean. "He has made a name for himself as one of the best in the world. The question is, does Pochettino want to go to Newcastle? When you've been linked with Real Madrid or Manchester United, I don't want to be disrespectful, but you can tell the difference", he added.
