Unai Emery will bring even more quality to the table in the Premier League - according to Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe.
The serial trophy winner is likely to be in the stands for Newcastle United's home encounter with Aston Villa on Saturday as he starts to assess the job ahead of him after quitting Villarreal. Howe is full of respect for the man who was wanted as boss at St James' Park only a year ago.
Emery starts his job officially on November 1 and Howe knows he will only make the top-flight stronger. With Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp and Antonio Conte already on the Premier League's A-list, Emery will bring more star quality to the division.

Howe said: "It is great to see for the Premier League. The Premier League, for me, we want the best coaches and players, we want the product to be the best it can be.
"From my side that helps me learn, grow and become better. Unai, for me, is a very good manager and he will only add to the quality in the league.
"It is a brilliant thing for the Premier League, maybe not so great for us because the competition gets higher. But that's where we want to be. We have to improve to continue to succeed."
