A busy summer window that saw four players move to Newcastle, soon to be joined by Loris Karius and Garang Kuol, was followed by the double addition of Harrison Ashby and Anthony Gordon in the summer window.
All of these transfers came at a financial cost however, with Newcastle needing to ensure they stick to Financial Fair Play constraints to avoid sanctions in the future.
They spent over £150million on transfers over those two transfer windows, however, a couple of clubs have still spent more than the Magpies this season.
