Newcastle United recently confirmed the signing of Sven Botman from LOSC Lille, so Eddie Howe has six centre-backs on the books – Botman, Dan Burn, Fabian Schar, Jamaal Lascelles, Ciaran Clark, Federico Fernandez. Clark and Fernandez are expected to leave this summer after falling down the pecking order, so Howe will have four defenders ahead […]
Newcastle United were 19th in the Premier League with 11 points from 19 games at the turn of the year and went on to finish 11th with 49 points after Eddie Howe finally got the side firing on all cylinders. Newcastle are chasing a strong top-half finish next season and hope to get into the […]
Newcastle United won the race to sign Sven Botman from LOSC Lille last week, beating out competition from AC Milan, and Gabriel Agbonlahor believes teams will fear the Magpies now they have pulling power in the transfer market. Eddie Howe managed to bring in Bruno Guimaraes from Olympique Lyonnais and Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid […]
Frank McAvennie recently spoke about Allan Saint-Maximin’s future at Newcastle United, insisting the Magpies would be desperate to keep the 25-year-old amid interest from Arsenal. He told Football Insider: “I don’t think he’d leave. I think he would want to be part of (Eddie Howe’s project). He was the shining light (last season). That’s one […]
Newcastle finished 11th in the Premier League this season, 14 points clear of the relegation zone after looking destined for the drop before the turn of the year – 19th with 11 points from 19 games. The Magpies had the worst defence at the beginning of 2022 – no Premier League side had conceded more […]
It’s no secret that Newcastle United need a striker next season despite having three centre-forwards in the first-team and Alex McLeish has tipped them to find a ‘talisman’ like Liverpool’s Luis Diaz who could score 20+ goals in 2022/23. Callum Wilson has struggled with injuries in his two years at St James’ Park, so Eddie […]
Newcastle United agreed a £10m deal to sign Nick Pope in June and have an experienced England international to compete with Martin Dubravka for a starting place next season. Paul Merson hailed the signing in his recent Sportskeeda column and called the transfer ‘ridiculous’ for the Magpies pulling off a coup. He wrote: “Nick Pope […]
Isaac Hayden left Newcastle United to join Norwich City on a season-long loan, but Eddie Howe isn’t short of midfielders in his absence – the Magpies boss still has Bruno Guimaraes, Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff, Jonjo Shelvey and Joelinton on the books. But with Willock being inconsistent this season, Joelinton successful reverting to attack and […]
Newcastle had the worst defence in the Premier League at the turn of the year (42 goals conceded), so Eddie Howe addressed the problem in the transfer market, signing Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid, Dan Burn from Brighton & Hove Albion, Bruno Guimaraes from Olympique Lyonnais and Matt Targett on loan from Aston Villa. The […]
Eddie Howe is not only tasked with identifying which positions he needs to strengthen, he also has to identify which Newcastle players need selling. Allan Saint-Maximin could be on his way out of St James’ Park as he’s on the radar of Chelsea and Tottenham and could fetch £50m. Miguel Almiron is another player who […]
Chris Wood hasn’t even been at Newcastle United for a full season, but the 30-year-old has an uncertain future after a disappointing debut campaign. Wood signed a two-and-a-half-year deal from Burnley in January and has gone on to make 17 appearances in all competitions, scoring just two goals. The New Zealand international set Newcastle back […]
Although Eddie Howe has Callum Wilson, Chris Wood and Dwight Gayle in attack, Wilson has struggled with injuries, Wood has struggled for goals and Gayle has struggled for playing time, so Newcastle United could do with another centre-forward this summer. One of many players on their shortlist was Anthony Martial and the 26-year-old appeared keen […]
