A long month has come to a close and 11pm on Tuesday night marked the end of the January transfer window.
Twelve months ago, Newcastle United’s PIF-led ownership completed a transformative four weeks as the likes of Bruno Guimaraes, Kieran Tripper and Dan Burn joined Eddie Howe’s squad and began a run of form that helped the Magpies preserve their Premier League status.
