Newcastle United are 14th in the Premier League for goals (32), 11th in the league for shots (12.1 per game) and have scored one or less goals in 21 of their 29 games this season, so it’s clear Eddie Howe needs to bolster his attack over the summer. The Magpies’ boss has Callum Wilson, Chris […]
Christian Atsu was released by Newcastle United last summer and made the surprise decision to join Al-Raed on a two-year deal, but his switch to the Saudi Professional League hasn’t gone to plan. The 30-year-old, who has played for FC Porto, Chelsea, Everton, Bournemouth and Malaga, has struggled for form, fitness and playing time at […]
Newcastle United’s defensive record has left a lot to be desired this season, with the Magpies sitting are 17th in the Premier League for goals conceded (49) and joint-17th for clean sheets (4). Federico Fernandez has been short of playing time under Eddie Howe, so he could be on the move this summer. Ciaran Clark […]
Jamaal Lascelles has an uncertain future at St James’ Park. The 28-year-old is Newcastle United’s club captain but lost his place under Eddie Howe and has only started one of the Magpies’ last seven Premier League games. Lascelles has found himself an unused substitute in four of Newcastle’s previous six league outings as Howe has […]
Allan Saint-Maximin has been short of playing time in recent weeks as he’s recovering from injury, so he’s not been setting the place alight with substitute appearances. The 25-year-old has featured in only three of Newcastle United’s last six Premier League games, amassing just 66 minutes of playing time from a possible 180. Saint-Maximin took […]
Although Dan Burn has looked an excellent acquisition for Newcastle United, the Magpies are still expected to bring in another centre-back this summer. Ciaran Clark could be on his way out after being dropped from the PL squad while Federico Fernandez may have to leave to get first-team football next season, so there should be […]
Newcastle United have an abundance of centre-backs with Ciaran Clark, Jamaal Lascelles, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn and Federico Fernandez, but Clark was dropped from the 25-man Premier League squad and Fernandez is on the periphery under Eddie Howe, so the defensive duo could be sold this summer. And with Newcastle being 17th in the league […]
Newcastle United are 17th in the Premier League for goals conceded (49) and joint-17th in the league for clean sheets (4), so it’s clear they need to improve defensively. The Magpies have an abundance of centre-backs with Jamaal Lascelles, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, Ciaran Clark and Federico Fernandez, but Clark was dropped from their 25-man […]
Allan Saint-Maximin has featured in three of Newcastle United’s last four games after recovering from a calf injury but hasn’t started for a month-and-a-half as he’s building up his fitness again. The 25-year-old hasn’t scored in the Premier League since mid-January and hasn’t made an assist since September, but he’s still an important player at […]
Newcastle United made a real statement of intent by signing Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid and Bruno Guimaraes from Olympique Lyonnais in January, but Frank McAvennie says this is only the beginning. He predicts the Magpies will bring in more big names over the summer, potentially overlooking lesser-fancied English players for continental options with a […]
Newcastle United are one of the richest clubs in Europe following their takeover by Public Investment Fund, PCP Capital Partners and RB Sports & Media and spent heavily in January to improve the squad. The Magpies hadn’t had a net spent of over £35m since 2015/16, but they brought in Bruno Guimaraes (£37.9m from Olympique […]
Joelinton returned from a groin injury to play a full 90 minutes in Newcastle United’s 1-0 defeat to Everton and turned in a decent performance, garnering praise from Kevin Campbell who called the 25-year-old ‘a revelation’ in midfield. Joelinton has missed Newcastle’s 2-1 win over Southampton on March 10 and their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea […]
