This summer is set to be a busy one on Tyneside as Eddie Howe looks to build a Newcastle United side in his own image - or at least one that can consistently compete in the top half of the Premier League.
While his mantra this year has been one of evolution not revolution, it’s impossible not to believe United will be one of the busier teams in the top flight this summer.
In order to maximise their budget, the Magpies must shift players out, even though the more pressing desire is to see players arrive. Howe had a 25-man squad, and players like Ciaran Clark, Jamal Lewis and Isaac Hayden outside of the group at the back end of last season - and the club’s owners are keen not to see that repeated this.
So who will go and who will stay? Here we take a look at those with one foot out the St James’ Park doors - and those who look like they’re here to stay.
13. Martin Dubravka - possible
Dubravka is expected to rise to the challenge of rivalling Pope for the No.1 spot but could he decide to leave if he’s guaranteed that elsewhere? | Getty Images
14. Miguel Almiron - possible
Almiron enjoyed a run in the starting XI in Ryan Fraser’s absence and performed well, scoring a stunning winner against Crystal Palace. | Getty Images
15. Jonjo Shelvey - possible
Shelvey wants guaranteed game time. And while that is likely to be the case at the moment, another midfield signing could change that. | Getty Images
16. Jacob Murphy - possible
Murphy signed a new contract as recently as last summer but faces a battle to earn a regular spot in the starting XI. The winger is a great squad player - but does the boyhood Newcastle fan want to be more than that? If so, he may have to go elsewhere. | AFP via Getty Images
