9 players that Newcastle United could target whose contracts are expiring next summer

Here are 9 players whose contracts are expiring next summer and could go for cheap in January or on a free at the end of the season.

Newcastle United failed to make a significant number of signings this summer, bringing in Joe Willock on a permenant deal and Santiago Munoz on loan from Santos Laguna.

The Magpies are still light in defence and could do with freshening up at the back, with three of their defenders (Ciaran Clark, Jamaal Lascelles and Paul Dummett) part of the side that were at St. James’ Park during their 2016/17 campaign in the Championship.

While Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin are two of Newcastle’s best players, fans will be hoping to add another attacking threat to the side rather than relying on the duo to get them the goals.

Here are 9 players whose contracts are expiring in 2022 and so could be sold for cheap in the January window or become a free agent next summer.
