One of those will likely be Ryan Fraser after he was told to train with the Under-21’s.
Speaking about the reasons for this, Eddie Howe said: “Ryan’s training with the Under-21s. I made the decision to concentrate on players that are committed to Newcastle. For the benefit of the group, I’ve made that call.”
But Fraser is just one of a number of players that could see their time on Tyneside come to an end this summer as Newcastle look to trim their squad ahead of an anticipated summer of spending.
Here, we take a look at 15 players that could leave the club when the summer transfer window opens and six that won’t be sold this summer.
How many of these do you think will leave the club? Follow us on our social media channels and let us know your thoughts.
9. Jamal Lewis
Howe has repeatedly stated that Lewis has a future at the club and is slowly working his way back to full fitness after some difficult injury problems. However, the 25-year-old’s time at Newcastle just hasn’t hit the heights that were expected and a fresh start could be best for all parties. Photo: Stu Forster
10. Matty Longstaff
An ACL injury has ended the midfielder’s season prematurely, just as he was getting game time whilst on-loan at Colchester United. Longstaff’s contract expires at the end of this season and he could be allowed to leave on a free transfer. Photo: Gualter Fatia
11. Kell Watts
Watts is currently on-loan at Peterborough United in League One. After a successful spell with Wigan Athletic last term, Watts will be hoping to use the experience of this loan move to help him break into the first-team picture. If that doesn’t happen, then another loan exit could be on the cards next season. Photo: Charlotte Tattersall
12. Allan Saint-Maximin
The Frenchman is an important part of Howe’s team, but is viewed as one of their more saleable assets and could be allowed to leave this summer if a sizeable offer for his services is received. Photo: Alex Pantling
