Chairman of Newcastle United, Yasir Al-Rumayyan and Amanda Staveley, Part-Owner of Newcastle United smile as they are introduced to the fans prior to the Premier League match between Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur at St. James Park on October 17, 2021 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Amanda Staveley has been discussing Newcastle United’s January transfer plans - and admits the need to invest overrides the difficulties of buying in the winter window.

At his unveiling yesterday, new head coach Eddie Howe was not in the mood to discuss what might happen at the turn of 2022, such was his focus on the here and now.

However, co-owner Staveley has talked about the issue.

Speaking to NUFC TV, Staveley said: “We have got a robust business plan and we are developing that every week.

“We are preparing for the January transfer window.

“It’s ordinarily not a window we would look to invest in because you don't normally get the right deals but that is something that is important at the moment.”
