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:
17. SUB: Joe Willock
Similarly to Longstaff, injury may mean Willock has to force himself back into Howe’s first-team plans. Versatile enough to play either in central midfield or out on the left, Willock will be relied upon during various points of the season. | Getty Images
18. SUB: Elliot Anderson
Could this be Anderson’s breakthrough year on Tyneside? Anderson will be hoping to replicate the stunning form he has showed in pre-season when given an opportunity. | Getty Images for Premier League
19. LW: Harvey Barnes
Barnes hit the ground running at St James’ Park with a debut goal, showing why the club were so keen to bring him in from Leicester City this summer. Much like Almiron, Barnes will face immense competition for a starting spot. | AFP via Getty Images
20. SUB: Callum Wilson
Newcastle United’s top scorer last season could count himself rather unfortunate to be starting the season on the bench this year. However, there will be plenty of Premier League and Champions League games for Wilson to impress in, the club just have to be wary about overloading his body with gametime. | AFP via Getty Images
