Five new signings arrived through the doors at St James’ Park with Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood, Bruno Guimaraes, Matt Targett and Dan Burn joining the club’s battle for Premier League survival.
There was also plenty of outgoings too – mostly loans – as Eddie Howe prepares to name his 25-man squad the remaining 17 matches of the campaign.

7. IN: Matt Targett (Aston Villa, loan)
Targett signed on loan for the remainder of the season, though it’s unclear if the deal includes an option to buy. Either way, the 26-year-old left-back adds experience having played over 100 Premier League games for Villa and Southampton. Photo: Clive Brunskill
