Newcastle United are already being linked with a whole host of signings ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Magpies are on course for a top four finish and Champions League qualification as things stand, but, they are almost certain to be playing European football of some kind next season. With that in mind, Eddie Howe is going to need more depth and quality, and there are a number of key positions that need strengthening.
Here we take a look at what Newcastle’s starting XI could look like next season based on where the Magpies need to add players, and the players they have been linked with.
Take a look below...
1. Nick Pope
Pope will be Newcastle’s number one going into the future.
2. RB - Kieran Trippier
The club skipper is going nowhere.
3. CB - Sven Botman
Botman required a large investment, and while he still has room to develop, he is likely to be a starter next season.
4. CB - Perr Schuurs
Newcastle could strengthen at centre-back if they can find the right deal. Torino star Schuurs has been linked of late, and he does fit the profile.
