Like many clubs in the Premier League, Newcastle United were very quiet during the January transfer window with only Manchester City’s Alfie Harrison joining the club. PSR constraints mean that the Magpies were forced not to spend as they attempted to balance the books.
However, that could change in the summer when they get another chance to strengthen Eddie Howe's squad. Injury to Sven Botman could force them into the market for a replacement for the Dutchman who may miss the rest of the calendar year through injury.
They will also be hopeful of keeping hold of their key players and begin next year with the likes of Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak at the club. It will be a very delicate balancing act for the ownership as they will be keen to strengthen Howe's side, but must still abide by the strict financial constraints put on them by the Premier League.
Here, we take a look at what Newcastle United’s matchday squad could look like next season based on all the latest transfer rumours. What do you make of this team? Follow us on our social media channels and let us know your thoughts there.
9. Morgan Gibbs-White
Gibbs-White could leave Nottingham Forest this summer - even if they are able to survive in the top-flight. Gibbs-White can play anywhere on the front line and would be a very astute signing for the Magpies. | Getty Images
10. Alexander Isak
Much like Guimaraes, Isak will undoubtedly attract attention from elsewhere this summer and Newcastle will be very keen to keep hold of their current top scorer. There are few strikers in world football with the qualities Isak possesses. | Getty Images
