Alexander Isak signs contract, new £60m winger and Nick Pope replacement - dream Newcastle United XI for 2025-26

All the stars appear to be aligning as Newcastle United head into the summer transfer window. Three frugal windows have placed the Magpies in a good financial position to tackle the market.

Carabao Cup success also gives Toon chiefs another weapon in their arsenal when attracting top talent. Who wouldn’t want to be revered for eternity for delivering success at St James’ Park?

Champions League qualification would be the icing on the cake of an exceptional season - the best in living memory at Newcastle. Speculation is already ramping up as the Magpies prepare for what fans hope will be a busy summer.

But what could Newcastle’s starting line-up look like? This could be United’s team on the opening day of the 2025-26 campaign if they enjoy a dream few months.
