Newcastle United’s transfer spend following Sven Botman arrival compared to Premier League rivals
Newcastle United have got down to business quickly this summer transfer window – but how does their transfer spend compare to their Premier League rivals.
The Magpies have already spent in the region of £60million on Matt Targett from Aston Villa, Nick Pope from Burnley and Sven Botman from Lille.
Eddie Howe’s side have alson been pursuing several other targets but have struggled to get them over the line so far. More spending is expected, but just as Newcastle have strengthened, many of their Premier League rivals have been spending money too.
