Newcastle United have been fairly active in all three transfer windows under their new owners - and the upcoming January transfer window may not be any different.
Both incomings and outgoings could be sanctioned by the club with a few areas of the squad needing bolstered.
However, any incoming must be offset by a player leaving and there are a few players who, for one reason or another, may leave Tyneside in January.
Here, we take a look at nine players that could leave Newcastle United during the January transfer window - and four that won’t.

5. Javier Manquillo
Manquillo has found himself behind Kieran Trippier and Tino Livramento in recent times and it’s likely that his time at the club will come to an end either in January or at the end of the season. Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY
6. Lewis Miley
Miley impressed during pre-season and Howe was keen to aid his development by keeping him at the club, despite reported interest from the Championship. That stance may be revisited in January and the 17-year-old could be allowed to develop on-loan elsewhere. Photo: George Wood
7. Emil Krafth
Krafth is edging himself back to full fitness after over a year out with an ACL injury. He may find opportunities in the first-team limited however. Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY
8. Matt Targett
Lewis Hall’s arrival and Dan Burn’s reliability at left-back means Targett has, once again, had to be content with a place on the bench this season with increased competition around him. Like many on this list, he may see his only chance of regular first-team football being away from St James’ Park. Photo: Stu Forster
