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.
17. Fabian Schar
Schar has become one of Newcastle United’s key players since Howe’s arrival. His contract is due to expire at the end of next season but despite having entered the final 18-months of his deal, there would be great reluctance from the Magpies to see him leave this summer. Photo: Stu Forster
18. Sean Longstaff
Longstaff plays a vital role in the way Howe likes to set up his team. The biggest compliment you can pay him is that it is clear the team miss his calming influence and workrate when he is absent. With hopes of European football becoming more and more of a reality, Longstaff will almost certainly have a major role to play in all competitions next campaign. Photo: Stu Forster
19. Jacob Murphy
Murphy has featured in every league game this season and has had a major role to play from the off in games over recent weeks. His brace against Spurs was reward for some brilliant form that often went unnoticed and underappreciated. Photo: Stu Forster
20. Joe Willock
Willock has become a key member of Howe’s squad and is currently playing an integral role in how Howe wants his teams to play. Photo: Stu Forster
