Newcastle United are yet to make a breakthrough in the transfer market this summer. But fear not, with over two months remaining, Toon chiefs have ample time to get their targets wrapped up.
Eddie Howe asked for speed following the final-day defeat to Everton. That was four weeks ago - with the Magpies not getting involved early in the window.
The likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have all made early signings but Newcastle have, so far, kept their powder dry. PSR’s grip has loosened this summer so expect movement in the coming weeks.
NewcastleWorld understands the club are interested in Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford and Brighton’s Joao Pedro. Meanwhile, speculation has ramped up regarding Alexander Isak’s future, with Liverpool reportedly interested.
What if all the stars aligned and the Magpies enjoyed a dream summer window? This is how they could line up on the opening day of the campaign.
