Newcastle United have been transformed this season, both on and off the pitch as they aim to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in almost two decades.
Any form of European football next season will mean the Magpies have to strengthen their squad in all areas in order to cope with the demands of domestic and continental football.
Inevitably, this means that some existing squad members may have to depart to make way for new arrivals - but, who are the players most likely to leave the club when the summer transfer window opens?
Here, we take a look at the Newcastle United players that, at time of writing, are set to leave the club this summer.

Longstaff is currently recovering from an ACL injury he sustained whilst on-loan at Colchester United. After bursting onto the scene, Longstaff hasn’t been able to replicate this form and is likely to leave this summer when his contract expires. Photo: Gualter Fatia
6. Paul Dummett
Recent reports have suggested that Dummett may be offered a new deal at the club, however, as it stands, he will leave the club at the end of the season when his current deal comes to an end. Photo: PAUL ELLIS
7. Jeff Hendrick
Hendrick is currently enjoying a relatively successful loan spell away at Reading in the Championship. Following two loan spells away from the club, he likely doesn’t have a future at St James’ Park and will leave either on a permanent basis or on another loan deal this summer. Photo: Eddie Keogh
8. Ryan Fraser
Fraser has been frozen out of the first-team by Eddie Howe and is currently training away from the senior side. There was interest in his services in January and Fraser will likely have a few clubs sniffing around him when the transfer window reopens. Photo: Ian MacNicol
