Newcastle United were very quiet in the winter transfer window as PSR constraints took hold of their finances. However, this summer could be very different as they may look to strengthen a squad that has been ravaged by injuries this season.
They may not have Champions League football like last year, however, European football of some sort is a very real possibility and Eddie Howe’s squad may go through a mini-overhaul when the summer window opens.
In order to fund incoming transfers, however, the club will likely 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 take a look at Newcastle United’s current first-team squad, and a couple of players currently away from the club, to assess what their future could hold and whether the Magpies should look to keep, sell, loan or let go of them this summer. What do you think Newcastle United should do this summer? Follow us on our social media channels and let us know your thoughts there:

7. Harrison Ashby - Loan
There just doesn’t seem to be a clear route into the first-team for Ashby at the minute and another season on-loan could aid his development. | Getty Images

8. Emil Krafth - Keep
Krafth’s versatility means he is someone that the squad may need if injuries bite once again. Furthermore, his reliability when called upon is also a great strength and something that means the team can rely on him. | Getty Images
