We could see a major transformation at the club this summer as Eddie Howe is given his first summer window to shape and mould the squad.
Of course, new ownership also brings the expectation that Newcastle will be busy in the market and explore a great amount of options to strengthen their team.
Naturally, with any arrivals must come departures as Newcastle have to initially balance their inflated squad for next season whilst also trying to keep one eye on the future.
And of course, there are plenty members of the current squad whose immediate future may be uncertain but who will all believe they are able to play a role in the club’s future.
Here, we take a look at five players Newcastle United should buy, five that they may offload, and five that they should do their utmost to try and keep hold of this summer:

13. BUY - Moussa Diaby
The Bayer Leverkusen star has 16 goals and nine assists in 35 games so far this season - a fantastic return for the 22-year-old. Reports suggest that Leverkusen are already beginning preparations to replace Diaby and Newcastle could do a lot worse than moving for the winger. Photo: INA FASSBENDER

14. SELL - Jamal Lewis
Lewis was a surprise omission from Newcastle’s 25-man squad and with injury problems hampering his progress, it may be the time to part-ways with the fullback. Lewis clearly has talent and should become a Premier League left-back in the future - it just hasn’t worked out at Newcastle for him. Photo: Stu Forster

15. KEEP - Allan Saint-Maximin
Saint-Maximin’s form this season will undoubtedly be attracting attention from some of Europe’s elite this summer. Although Newcastle are looking forward to the future, right now, they cannot offer European football - something that they will hope to do in the near future if they are to keep hold of players like the Frenchman.
