Newcastle harbour great european ambitions with qualification for all three continental competitions still within their reach.
A win over Manchester United helped reaffirm their European hopes and if they are to make good on their early season promise and qualify for European football, then the Magpies will need to bolster their squad in the summer transfer window.
Adding quality and depth will be the aim this summer if Newcastle have to balance the great demands of domestic and european football next season. But just who could they look to sign when the summer transfer window opens?
Here, we take a look at what Newcastle United’s match day squad in 2023/24 could look like.
Could Newcastle line-up like this when next season gets underway? Follow us on our social media channels and let us know your thoughts there.
9. CM: James Maddison
Maddison continues to impress for Leicester City, but will likely enter the final 12-months of his contract at the King Power Stadium when the summer window opens. Newcastle failed in their attempts to sign him last summer, could they finally secure his signature this time around? Photo: Paul Harding
10. RW: Anthony Gordon
Gordon has shown promise in his early Newcastle career and the former Everton man will hope he can nail-down a regular starting spot soon. Could the 2023/24 season be his time to shine for the Magpies? Photo: Stu Forster
11. ST: Alexander Isak
After an injury-hit first-half to the season, Isak will be hoping he can score the goals needed to solidify himself as the focal point of Newcastle’s attack. The Sweden international didn’t have a pre-season at the club last summer and will be hoping he can have a full off-season this time around. Photo: Stu Forster
12. LW: Moussa Diaby
Newcastle were interested in Diaby last summer but were priced out of a move for him. They have once again been linked with a move for the winger this time around. Qualifying for the Champions League could be the sweetener needed for Diaby to make his move to the north east. Photo: Dean Mouhtaropoulos
