Newcastle are set to turn out in green and white away kit next season

Newcastle United are set to turn out in the green and white of Saudi Arabia next season.

Sportsmail can confirm the new away jersey, designed by kit suppliers Castore, carries the traditional colours of the Gulf state, whose Public Investment Fund owns 80 per cent of the club.

Newcastle's crest, as well as the trim of the neck and sleeves, have been coloured green on an all-white backdrop, bearing a striking resemblance to the shirt of the Saudi national team.

The strip is likely to attract criticism from opponents of the ownership, who had to satisfy the Premier League there was no connection between PIF and the Saudi state before their £305million takeover was approved in October.

However, the club will see the design as a chance to increase revenue streams via shirt sales in Saudi, whilst also representing their majority owners.

It comes on the back of head coach Eddie Howe warning that Newcastle's spending power will be impacted by financial rules this summer.

Sportsmail reported last month that a transfer budget of £60-80million plus player sales has been mooted within the game.

The Magpies were Europe's biggest spenders in January, investing £94m in five players in what was the first transfer window under Saudi-led ownership.

The new regime have stated their ambition to compete with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the Premier League. But their New Year splurge, coupled with no extra revenue having yet been generated by way of commercial deals, means that the club will operate with caution this summer.

Howe said: 'With Financial Fair Play, we have restraints and we have things that we have to work within.

'We can't just go out
