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:

10. Jamaal Lascelles - Keep
Lascelles is another player to have recently signed a new deal with the club and is highly regarded for his leadership qualities. An ACL injury means it is highly likely that he will remain at the club over summer. | Getty Images

11. Sven Botman - Keep
Botman was unable to hit the very high standards he set himself last season. An ACL injury means it may be a couple of months into the new season before we see him back in action again. | Getty Images

12. Paul Dummett - Let Go
Dummett is Newcastle’s longest serving player but has rarely featured this season. His contract at the club is up at the end of the campaign and he is someone they may look to offload when the time comes. Photo: Ian MacNicol
