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.

17. SUB: Joelinton
Joelinton has been one of Newcastle’s most consistent performers over the past year or so and it has been very hard for anyone to dislodge him from Howe’s starting line-up. Photo: Michael Regan
18. SUB: Elliot Anderson
Hopes are high that Anderson can be the next man off the production line at Newcastle. Although he has seen first-team opportunities limited this season, a whole year of exposure to the first-team could help him next campaign. Photo: OLI SCARFF
19. SUB: Miguel Almiron
The Paraguayan has been very good this season, but with intense competition for his place in the starting line-up, he may see his spot as a first-team regular under threat next season. Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY
20. SUB: Allan Saint-Maximin
Saint-Maximin has slowly been reminding everyone just what he is capable of on the football field. The Frenchman will hope his injury troubles subside next season and he is able to get back playing regular first-team football amid stiff competition around him. Photo: Michael Regan
