Graham Potter's verdict on Newcastle United's recruitment

Graham Potter has given his verdict on Newcastle United's recruitment.

The club has signed Callum Wilson, Ryan Fraser, Jeff Hendrick, Jamal Lewis and Mark Gillespie so far in the transfer window.

All five signings have made an impression in United’s first two games – the wins over West Ham United and Blackburn Rovers – and Brighton and Hove Albion head coach Potter has spoken about Steve Bruce’s transfer business ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League meeting between the two clubs at St James’s Park.

Asked about Newcastle’s summer recruitment, Potter said: “Very good. They’ve improved their squad. At the weekend (in the 2-0 win over West Ham), they were impressive. They’ve got Joelinton and Fraser and (Miguel) Almiron on the bench, so it just goes to show the firepower that they have.

“Steve’s invested well. They’re going to be really strong. They’ve added with some good experience and good quality. They’ve got lots of attacking options.”
