Newcastle United have been fairly active in all three transfer windows under their new owners - and the upcoming January transfer window may not be any different.
Both incomings and outgoings could be sanctioned by the club with a few areas of the squad needing bolstered, particularly those areas that have been impacted by the recent injury crisis surrounding the club.
However, any incoming must be offset by a player leaving and there are a few players who, for one reason or another, may leave Tyneside in January.
Here, we take a look at eight players that could leave Newcastle United during the January transfer window - and five that won’t.
1. Javier Manquillo
Manquillo has found himself behind Kieran Trippier and Tino Livramento in recent times and it’s likely that his time at the club will come to an end either in January or at the end of the season. | Getty Images
2. Jamaal Lascelles
Lascelles is out of contract at the end of the season and although he has played very well when called upon in recent times, he may feel he has to leave St James’ Park in order to get regular first-team football. If he doesn’t sign a new deal, then the winter window will be Newcastle’s last chance to recoup some money for him. | Getty Images
3. Matt Ritchie
Ritchie signed a one-year extension this summer but was left out of the club’s 25-man Champions League squad. He has had very limited game time this season. | Getty Images
4. Bruno Guimaraes
Unfortunately, because of his £100m release clause, Newcastle will always be susceptible to offers for the Brazilian and can do very little about keeping him at St James’ Park should a club trigger his release clause. | Getty Images
