Newcastle preparing to back Howe with FOUR signings this summer | OneFootball

The Magpies could do with something of a squad overhaul after a below-par Premier League campaign and a humbling Champions League exit at the hands of Barcelona this week.

According to iNews, Newcastle are looking for four new signings – a goalkeeper, striker, right-back, and midfielder for Eddie Howe’s first XI.

It’s not yet clear which specific names could fill those roles, but there could also be other changes as the report mentions speculation over the future of midfield duo Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali.

Newcastle United need a strong transfer window

Newcastle could do with avoiding more big names leaving after the very troubling saga involving Alexander Isak and his move to Liverpool last summer.

That dragged on for much of the transfer window and disrupted Newcastle a great deal, so they’ll hope to avoid anything similar happening with Guimaraes and Tonali.

If they can keep their most important players and also strengthen with those four targets they want, then things could look a lot more positive at St James’ Park next season.

This NUFC project is a promising one, but the team still needs a lot of work to truly establish itself in the top four.

It will be interesting to see what calibre of player they can lure to the club now as they’ll most likely be without Champions League football next season.

At the same time, though, Newcastle have shown that they can compete and get into Europe’s top club competition from time to time, so that should assure some players that they’re joining a strong project with a big future.
