After a very quiet winter window, Newcastle United could be very active in the summer market. Last season’s Champions League qualification successes seem a long time ago now with the Magpies currently sat in 10th place with just ten games of the season to go.
Of course, injury and suspension issues have played their part so far this season, but the club will be keen to ensure that next year is a more fruitful campaign for them. Profit and Sustainability Rules may be changing, but United will still have to be mindful of what they spend in the market, despite their desire to do a lot of business.
In order to fund transfers, therefore, they may be forced to sell some of their players this summer. Newcastle have not had a good track record in trading players in the recent past and this summer is a crucial time for them to get that right if they want to reshape the look and makeup of Eddie Howe’s current squad.
Here, we assess Newcastle United’s current squad and give our view on what the club should do with every player during the summer transfer window. Do you agree with our thoughts? Follow us on our social media channels and let us know your thoughts there:
21. Sean Longstaff - Keep
Whilst selling longstaff would help against PSR, he remains a big figure at the club and someone they can rely on in midfield. Hopefully he is able to recover from a foot injury and get back to his best. | Getty Images
22. Elliot Anderson - Keep
Anderson’s injury issues have hindered his progression this year in what could have been a real breakthrough season for him. Hopefully he can put these issues behind him and impress next season. | Getty Images
23. Miguel Almiron - Sell
Almiron is someone that the club could recoup some money for this summer if he is moved on. Whilst it won’t be the same fee they could have received this time last year, selling Almiron could help raise vital transfer funds. | Getty Images
24. Garang Kuol - Keep
Kuol has struggled whilst out on-loan in recent seasons and next year may be the time to keep him at the club and aid his development with the Under-21’s squad. | Getty Images
