Newcastle United have sealed deals for Yankuba Minteh, Sandro Tonal, Harvey Barnes and Tino Livramento so far this summer. Whilst Minteh will spend the season on-loan at Feyenoord, hopes are high that Tonali, Barnes and Livramento can play a major part in Newcastle’s adventures in Europe and in the Premier League this season.
The Magpies have the delicate task of balancing Champions League and Premier League football this term and are still looking for ways to strengthen their squad before the summer transfer window closes at 11pm on Friday, September 1.
But just who could those additions be? A whole host of players have been linked with a move to St James’ Park this summer and here, we take a look at what Eddie Howe’s matchday squad could look like next season based on all the latest transfer rumours:

6. CM: Bruno Guimaraes
Guimaraes ended last season with an ankle injury which hampered his performances during the second-half of the campaign. He has had a summer to recover from this injury and will undoubtedly be one a key player for Newcastle once again this season. | Getty Images

8. CM: Joelinton
Joelinton missed a fair chunk of pre-season, however, he has shown in the opening few games just why he is so highly-regarded at the club. | Getty Images
