Newcastle United are set to earn around £10million from their upcoming pre-season tour of Asia, sources have told Football Insider.
The Tyneside club will face Premier League rivals Arsenal in Singapore on 27 July in what will be their first time back in the country for 29 years.
Eddie Howe’s side will then travel to South Korea to play an all-star K League side on 30 July at the Suwon World Cup Stadium.
They will round off their pre-season tour against Tottenham at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on 3 August.
Sources say Newcastle are likely to make between £8-10million from their tour of Asia this summer.
The north-east giants will also face Celtic, Espanyol and Atletico Madrid as part of their preparations for the new Premier League season.

Newcastle made post-season tour decision after controversy
Newcastle decided against taking part in another controversial post-season tour at the beginning of this summer.
The Magpies received a backlash after they played two games in Australia at the end of the 2023-24 campaign against Tottenham and an all-star A-League side.
Post-season tours can be a significant money-spinner, with Manchester United banking around £8million from their trip to Asia at the end of the Premier League season in May.
However, it is believed some of the Newcastle players and staff felt the trip to Australia last year was inconvenient.
Newcastle smashed their club-record revenue in 2023-24 after their overall turnover surged from £250million to £320million.
That was largely driven by their return to the Champions League and a significant uplift in commercial revenue, which improved from £47million in 2022-23 to £86million.
The Tynesiders will benefit from the riches of the Champions League again next season after their fifth-place finish in the Premier League was enough to secure their qualification for the competition.
