Dreams about potential European qualification could be realised this year with the Magpies sitting in the Premier League’s top four.
Whether it’s Champions League, Europa League or Europa Conference League, there is a great chance that European nights could be on their way back to Tyneside.
With that, comes a need for Newcastle to bolster their squad and add to the options at Eddie Howe’s disposal as he tries to navigate the tricky balance between domestic and european football.
And despite the January window closing over a fortnight ago, transfer rumours surrounding who could be joining Newcastle when the window reopens in the summer remain prominent.
Here, we take a look at what Newcastle United’s matchday squad in 2023/24 could look like.

6. LB: Dan Burn
Although Burn is playing out of position at left-back, his performances since moving into the role have been outstanding and he is someone that Howe can rely upon every week to deliver consistent performances. Photo: Stu Forster
7. CM: Bruno Guimaraes

8. CM: James Maddison
Maddison continues to impress for Leicester City, but will likely enter the final 12-months of his contract at the King Power Stadium when the summer window opens. Newcastle failed in their attempts to sign him last summer, could they finally secure his signature this time around? Photo: Richard Heathcote
