After a good end to the season, Magpies supporters will be very hopeful that a good summer window from the club could see Newcastle move up the table and start challenging the sides in and around the European spots.
After a fantastic January window, this summer could see yet more additions to the team to build on what has been a great 2022 on Tyneside.

6. CM: Joe Willock
Willock ended the season on the injury table after putting in a string of impressive performances at the back-end of the season. He was Newcastle’s only summer signing last year and will hope to start next season strongly. Photo: PAUL ELLIS
7. CM: Bruno Guimaraes
No matter who is alongside him, Guimaraes is putting in fantastic performances week after week in the middle of the park for Newcastle and looks like being the man the team will revolve and evolve around for years to come. Photo: Ian MacNicol
8. CM: Joelinton
Rounding off the potential Brazilian trio in midfield is Joelinton who has been tremendous this season. He’s been transformed under Eddie Howe and long may that continue. Photo: Stu Forster
