Which Newcastle United squad numbers are free for deadline day arrivals after the additions of Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood and Bruno Guimaraes?

It is set to be a busy January deadline day at St James’s Park today.

Three players have joined Newcastle already this month and a day full of business, both in and out of St James’s Park, is predicted today.

Newcastle’s newest recruit is Bruno Guimaraes whose signing was confirmed yesterday. Guimaraes will take the No.39 shirt and head coach Eddie Howe was delighted to welcome the ‘hugely exciting talent’ to Tyneside:

"Bruno is a hugely exciting talent and has been one of our primary targets so I'm delighted to secure him. He strengthens the group immediately ready for the challenge ahead.

"He has been one of the standout performers in France and is a full international for Brazil so I have no doubt our supporters will really enjoy watching him.”

With more arrivals expected, here, we have listed the Newcastle United squad in full and which numbers would be free for new signings:
