A very busy few days at the end of June on Tyneside saw Newcastle United lose two of their brightest prospects to satisfy PSR. Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson have joined Brighton and Nottingham Forest respectively, whilst goalkeepers John Ruddy and Odysseas Vlachodimos have moved to St James’ Park.
Lloyd Kelly has joined from Bournemouth whilst Lewis Hall had his loan move from Chelsea turned into a permanent deal. However, with July having now been and gone, Newcastle have just 16 days until their Premier League season gets underway against Southampton at St James’ Park and still have a few gaps in their squad to fill with new signings.
They will look to strengthen in many areas of the pitch and could have a very busy end to the window before it closes on Friday 30 August. Here, we take a look at what Newcastle United’s matchday squad could look like next season based on all the latest transfer rumours. What do you make of this team?

Injury has prevented Barnes from showing exactly what he is capable of in a Newcastle United shirt until this point. Hopefully the former Leicester City man is able to do that between now, the end of this campaign and next season. | Getty Images
18. SUB: Crysencio Summerville
Summerville had a brilliant season with Leeds United last term, but their failure to seal promotion to the Premier League could mean they lose his services this summer. Newcastle United are among the teams linked with a move. | Getty Images

Mbeumo has impressed for Brentford and would add great quality and versatility to Newcastle United’s front line next season if he is signed this summer. | Getty Images
20. SUB: Jonathan David
David has emerged as a potential option for the Magpies this summer if they look to add another striker to their ranks. The Canadian international scored 19 goals in Ligue 1 for Lille last season. | Getty Images
