The additions of Matt Targett, Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn, Chris Wood and Bruno Guimaraes in January all helped the Magpies secure their Premier League status with all five continuing to play their role in United’s progress this season.
Their position entering January was precarious to say the least last year, however, they will enter the winter window this time around firmly in the hunt for a European place.
Will Newcastle look to strengthen once again? Or will they keep some money back to spend in summer when business is a lot easier to complete?
Here, we take a look at every player that has been linked with a move to Newcastle United in January.

5. Mykhaylo Mudryk
Arsenal have been made favourites to sign Mudryk, but Newcastle have been credited with great interest in the Ukrainian. His form for Shakhtar Donetsk this season, particularly in the Champions League, has been outstanding and he is viewed as one of Europe’s next top stars. Photo: Ian MacNicol
6. Cristiano Ronaldo
His impending Manchester United departure has led to reports that Ronaldo was offered to Newcastle. A move for the Portuguese star looks unlikely to say the least. Photo: Ash Donelon
7. Memphis Depay
Depay’s time at Barcelona seems to be coming to an end with numerous reports stating he will leave the Spanish club after the World Cup. Juventus are reportedly leading the race to sign him but, like many big name players, Newcastle have also been linked with making a move for the Dutchman. Photo: David Ramos
8. Martin Terrier
Terrier’s eight strikes in just 14 games this season has put him firmly in the shop window for clubs across Europe. Newcastle are just one of a number of sides linked with making a move for the 25 year old Stade Rennais striker. Photo: JEAN-FRANCOIS MONIER
