Unsurprisingly, this transfer window has been dominated by talk about which players may or may not be joining Newcastle United.
Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood have already joined Eddie Howe’s side and more additions are expected for Newcastle as their aim for Premier League survival looks tougher as every week passes.
Additions across the pitch may be needed this month if Newcastle are to beat the drop and judging by this list, the bookies concur that Newcastle need strengthened in all areas.
From Premier League proven talent, to ‘superstars’ from across European football, a whole host of names have been linked with a move to Tyneside.
Here, we take a look at every player that SkyBet have made Newcastle United favourites to sign during the January transfer window:

17. James Tarkowski - 6/4
Burnley have already seen striker Chris Wood leave to join the Magpies. Despite the bookies offering a short price on Tarkowski joining him, it seems unlikely they will allow one of their defenders to join a relegation rival as well. Photo: Ryan Pierse
18. Aaron Ramsey - 6/4
Ramsey’s time at Juventus looks like nearing an end and Newcastle seems like the most likely destination for the Welshman - Crystal Palace are also reportedly interested in his signature. Photo: Catherine Ivill
19. Todd Cantwell - 1/2
Cantwell has been absent from recent Norwich City matchday squads, heightening speculation that a move to St James’s Park may be on the horizon this month. There is interest from the Magpies but tempting a relegation rival into selling may be a difficult obstacle to overcome. Photo: Justin Setterfield
20. Sven Botman - 1/2
Despite Lille’s reluctance to negotiate with Newcastle on a deal for Botman, the bookies still believe there is a good chance that a deal can be completed before the end of the transfer window. Photo: PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA
