Are you Saudi in disguise? Newcastle are set to turn out in green and white next season with new away kit to be launched following £305m takeover backed by the Gulf state's Public Investment Fund

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.
