The January transfer window is now open and Newcastle United have the chance to strengthen their squad once again.
Although Financial Fair Play constraints mean they will have to be clever in the market, the club will be keen to strengthen the options available to Eddie Howe as they look to push for European qualification after a disappointing couple of weeks on the field - although their win over fierce rivals Sunderland will soften the blow of that recent form.
Whilst money and thus transfers may be limited this window, there are still a clutch of players that have been linked with a move to St James' Park. So what could Howe's team look like once the January window has concluded?
Here, we take a look at what Howe’s first-team could look like if all the latest January transfer rumours are true:

5. LB: Tino Livramento
Livramento deputised brilliantly at left-back during Dan Burn’s injury absence and once Trippier is back to full fitness, he will be a serious challenger for a starting spot on both sides of defence. | Getty Images

6. CM: Bruno Guimaraes
Guimaraes has shown his class throughout the season and may be able to step up his game in the second half of the campaign if the club can sign a genuine no.6 to play alongside him. | AFP via Getty Images

7. CM: Kalvin Phillips
Phillips has been strongly linked with a move to St James’ Park during January. A move for the former Leeds United man won’t come cheap, even if it is just a loan deal, however, it’s clear that he has the quality needed to be a success if he moved to Newcastle. | Getty Images

8. CM: Joelinton
Joelinton was very good against Sunderland before being forced off through injury. Hopefully the injury doesn’t keep him out for too long as his importance to the team has significantly increased in recent times amid their injury crisis. | AFP via Getty Images
